Use e-mail adress that is already registered (admin) for deleted forum

Hello!

A while ago I deleted my forum, and now I want to create a new forum. The problem is that you need an email address, and I'm going to use the one I used for the forum I deleted.

How do I create my new forum with the same email address (for new admin account)? I use swedishforum.se

You can use the same email that you had in the other forum, as long as you did the deletion of the forum correctly, from a link that had to reach your email, so that you could delete it. If you didn't do it then your forum would still remain as active, and you couldn't use the same email.
Create the new forum and when you enter the email, the same system will tell you whether or not it is free to create a new forum. If it says that this email belongs to another forum, it means that you did not do the deletion correctly.

Thank you for your answer Smile

I have deleted the forum, because when I search it up (domain) it come that no forum was found, so I believe I deleted it correctly.

But I'm gonna check my e-mail just to make sure that it was deleted.

If you deleted the forum just a couple days ago, the creation email might not be completely removed from the deleted forum yet. If you try and get an error message, wait about a week to try again.

You could just reopen your old forum and then change the address to start again there is really no need to delete a forum just to make a new one this is a waste of time and server space.

My advice is this:

1, log in to Forum Utilities restore the old forum.
2, Delete the members,
3, Delete any forums there may be and all the posts.
4, Change the forum address
5, Change the forum name

Then you can remake the forum how you want.

See no need to remake a new forum from the start.
