  • Is --suffix always separated by dashes or is the crumbled data string always of the same lenght (30)? This is important for splitting the string so it can be compared between left and right and the suffix applied to left correctly. Commented Jan 22, 2022 at 10:04

    @Tathastu "any kind of processing" is too unspecific. How is "processing" visible, how does one know if it was processed or not? Does changing the first letter count as processing? If so how does one know? OR is it really just all at the end of the string and the original string always has the same length? Please be on-point or solutions will not work; e.g. people trusting that the dash exists, but you say it might not be there. Commented Jan 22, 2022 at 10:29

    @EdMorton Thank you for helping the OP get things straightened out! There's actually a self-service form for merging accounts. It's at the bottom of each page under Contact -- "What can we help you with?" = "I want to merge user profiles". It seems like the OP is having trouble registering accounts because they're clearing their browser cookies. It's been a while since I've created an account, but I believe you can register via Google, Facebook, or a username & password. You can then log back in the same way. Hope this helps!
