   So, I started a list of lensmasters from Squidoo I couldn't find over here. I wanna keep in touch, you know. Many migrants to these green pastures had to change their user names for one reason or another. So tell us, just who were you over on Squidoo? I was Arachnea. Big change there.

                  As far as I understand it, you can use both your accounts in the forum, but not on the same post.  That's what was told me by an experienced Hubber on another page.  That way people aren't having "discussions" with theirselves.

               Don't bother about it. It was bound to happen with so many people being forced to open a second account. As I've already mentioned, it's a rule because of spammers and probably supporting your statements via other accounts (that you own). Pick one and stick to it on the forums.

                  Thanks for that. I know I've accidentally made the multiple account mistake already on the forums and had no idea of this rule. Sigh. So much to try to learn so quickly, hope the HP admins will give us some time to adjust (I've been trying to use Firefox for this account, and Chrome for my original HP account, just because I'm lazy about switching back and forth, logging in and out for editing purposes. But I need to sticky-note myself to be careful about which one I use in the forums!)

                     You're right. So much to learn and get a handle on. The admins for HP are giving us a generous 4 months to get the lenses up to speed once they come over. I feel certain they'll understand our newbie-type mistakes as well. You're braver than I am. I would pull all my hair out trying to manage two accts on one site.

       Hi Arachnea (and all others),
       
       I was holisticwriter on Squidoo and now I am using my real name, Terri Carr, per Hubpages recommendation.
       
       I haven't figured out much of anything with HubPages yet. I have so many things I want to do and I guess I am waffling about whether or not any rev share site is worth it.
       
       It does seem that HubPages gets more google traffic than Squidoo was getting though. So that makes me think I should stay active. However, I was not able to activate the ad program for my account. Can anyone direct me to the most straightforward help route?
       
       I HATE, HATE, HATE figuring out tech issues. I know, I know, hating gets you no where. :-)
       
       Thanks all for listening. I am glad there are so many friends on HubPages!!! That is one HUGE plus. I should think of that more often.
       
       Terri
