Actually admin has been very helpful here for me via the support link. (And I sincerely thank for that).
I get the impression that some here subtly suggest I am attempting to access something that is not mine, but I can only assure that it is not the case.
I will figure it out eventually. Maybe if I could ask staff to at least give me temp access to the public member list page I could search it and see if I spot the old account.
Regardless, thank you all for the info.
Sincerely.
