Can't rename "usa_" userid, what to do?
When I initially connected to Waze I didn't know what to expect. I connected via Facebook and took a look and really liked what I saw. So, after a couple of days I went to the website to dig further and decided that I really wanted to participate. So far everything was great!
But then I went and got a password reset sent to my "temporary" ID which I used to log in to the waze.com web site and that's when the "temporary" ID became "permanent" only it's not a full member of the site!
In particular I cannot become an Area Manager!
I really enjoy the map editing and I've got a few points doing some corrections and stuff. I'd love to be an area manager for my local area but I may not because I have the dreaded "usa_" ID! And there doesn't seem to be any way to convert that from a temp to a permanent ID.
The only option I have been given is to abandon that ID, reconnect with Waze as a different person, and start over. I would lose all my points that I have accumulated. Not that there are a lot of points but they would be lost.
And then I'd have the problem with the old email address that would need to be expunged from the system so that I could reconnect with Facebook. I'm not at all sure how I would get that done.
Why is this so difficult and why can't I just get my "usa_" ID upgraded to a "real" ID?
I sure would like an easy solution!
