Possibly | | #1 | Sun Jul 23, 2023 4:53 PM | | Delete | Hi, I would like to delete my account but as far as I can tell there is only an option to change the password.
How can I achieve that?
Email change should also be an option. imho.
(tbh what I initially wanted was to simply change my username. That was also not an option so I figured I'd delete my current account, since it's brand new, and remake it. Alas no account deletion and neither an email change option are available)
Thanks. |

I have a right to have my data removed from DB's servers, as per GDPR, as a European citizen, as long as DB is served to EU. "don't log in" isn't it.
So, whom do I have to contact in order to get my data deleted from DB's servers? I would prefer to not escalate this to official channels, it's a simple DROP operation from their database. |

So regardless of the laws your referring to, just get over it. |

Just remove your own data, edit your own profile and remove anything you want. Only data that remains is your username and duel records. |

Thank you for actually offering help instead of telling me to deal with it, appreciated.
As far as I can tell there is no way to remove data such as my email however, I looked in both Settings and My Profile. Where can I delete such info?
Thank you. |

Because your account cannot be deleted, the email associated with that account also cannot be deleted. Its just for login credentials anyways. Your email is never used for anything. |

Voltra_YT | | #10 | Sat Sep 30, 2023 8:03 AM | | Delete | Not being able to delete an account isn't an option. phpBB has had extensions for this (weird that it isn't included in the core) for ages, one such example is: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... account_2/ |

schuhkarton95 | | #11 | Sun Oct 15, 2023 10:00 AM | | Delete | If you go to your forum-account and select "Edit account settings" it says: "To change your password, your email address, or your username, you must enter your current password.", followed by an option to enter your password. However, I do not see an option to actually change your username, mail adress or other data. Typing in your password only brings up the message "Your profile has been updated." |
