Ok so I was thinking about wanting to come back to the site but I wanted to start anew in a sense with a new character and name. However when I went to create an account it wouldn't let me since my email is already in use for this account and I was wondering if it is possible for me to create a new account with using a different email or will I have to make a new email?

Here's a guide on how to do it. 

  • Make sure the name you want to use isn't already occupied. (For instance, suppose you want an account called _The_Wanderer_, check  http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/_the_wanderer_/  to see if you arrive on someone's profile page ((replace the _the_wanderer_ sequence in the URL with your desired name, of course)). If you do, it's already taken. If it's not, then carry on.)
  • Create/find an email address to use (note: you cannot use the same address for more than one account anymore). I'd suggest a Gmail one.
  • Do all of the following in the same browser session. (Should work flawlessly in Firefox and Chrome, if you follow the instructions.)
  • Log out. 
  • Go here:  https://auth.whiskeymedia.com/signup/?from_site=comic-vine 
  • Choose Free (unless you want to pay for it obviously...but I don't have any guide for that).
  • Enter the username with the capitalization as you want it.  Fill in the other info correctly, then click "Finish".
  • Now, open your email account in a new tab (NOT in a new browser, for God's sake), and click the confirmation link.
  • Now you have two options: "Manage Account." and "Comic Vine".  Choose Comic Vine. (An error screen might appear, but just try reloading CV and log in as usual.)
  • And there you should have it.

@The Dark Huntress: I was just thinking about that xD  Do you think it would belong in Editing & Tools?
