I was curious whether it is possible to have all my current points and details if I wanted to transfer my account to another profile, for example Gmail.

I've just added a way to do this from your profile page - make sure you're logged in to the origianl account, then click another social provider to make a new connection into the same account; you'll be able to login now from either, and you'll get 25 points for adding them.

Adding a feature because one person asked for it...you're a good guy, James.

Even it wasn't that option before, than James is a great person!Since, taking ideas from others, considering them, and making good use of them, is a good thing!I do this myself too.. Since I work with web developing/designing too!

The points are stored to the profile on MUO. Facebook, Google, etc. are only the accounts that are linked to this profile enabling you to login.That means you are able login using your gmail details and link it to the same account as Facebook!

I see! Maybe that's why I don't see gmail, since I used hotmail!Anyway, thanks!
