Problem updating email address

Post by emfrat »

I tried to change my email address.
I read what it said on the form. Since I only wanted to change the email, and not set a new PW, I went ahead and did that.
Entered current PW to confirm changing email, pressed Enter, and it said I had not confirmed the new PW.
Went through the palaver again, this time entering my current PW to confirm new PW even though it had not been changed, entered it again to confirm changing email and it said the new PW was the same as the old one!
Of course it was - I had no intention of changing anything except the email address, and the form makes it clear that there is no need to confirm the PW if I am not changing it.
Fortunately the current email address will be active until the end of Sept.
Could somebody please help?

Hello Mike,

I wouldn't expect any help from somebody. I've asked help from them before, but they never show up.

:shhh:
Personally I think they are in cahoots with anykey, They've never popped up when I needed them either.

Probably offwith, whatever it is that obsconds with one of my socks from the cloths dryer.

:wasntme: :worried:

I just went ahead and put in a new password when I changed my email address, and then changed it back.

I do hope I've given you some assistance mate, I sure couldn't just let you hang out there to dry.
;)

I'm not sure if you can change your email without changing your password Mike though you can change your password without changing your email. Odd I know but that's how it used to work. If you want to change your email and not your password.. go ahead and change both anyway and once it works.. go back and reset your password again :)
