when i created my account it says its old. why is this? i had an account long time ago but the site has completely changed since then and i had to create a new account. why does it say its old then?
When and what was the name of the old account?
I think this is a minor issue with the way the forum works. When a new user account is created, no security question or answer is required. So the next time you log in, you will be asked to update your account with this security information (in case you ever forget your password).
However, older accounts (from before when the security information system was implemented) also lacked this information. So the page that you are sent to talks about upgrading older accounts. (Actually, the same web page handles migration of older accounts and handling security qna.) In short - your account is new, not old, you can ignore the message from the website.
