I've had accounts on both Hub pages and Squidoo using the same name and same email address. Why were my lenses transferred to a newly created account where I had to use another email address to access them? This account has a different name and so a different address.
** Can I transfer the pages to my "real" hub pages account with the same name so it won't confuse people more than they'll already be confused?
Thank you

According to Paul Deeds' forum post, transfers of articles on Squidoo are beginning today. Has anyone had their account transferred yet? If so, how did it go?http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/123836? … ost2621573

I'm 100% on the side of doing a proper beta test and taking time to make sure every kind of lens transfers with ease - from the small simple ones to the big long complex ones - like mine! I'm less bothered by WHEN my lenses transfer to HubPages than I am about WHETHER they all transfer intact -...
