Hi there, it's easy to change your details. Just click on 'EDIT MEMBERS INFO' at the top of the page, change any details you want and then submit. Easy Peasy.

pammick, there is no provision to change your email address on the 'Edit Member Info' page - to get it changed, email Izzet (and wait... )

As a quick fix, bigbadbob could always note his new email address in the box marked 'Your Space'

BBB don't forget to amend the box to hide your old email address too.

Message 5 - Keith, yes you're right, you can edit other information but not your Email address. I just edited my occupation but when I edited my Email address it didn't go through. Odd that why you can't edit your Email address. It shouldn't be that hard.

Mike



I believe that the email address along with the username is one of the key building blocks on which the database that underlies the forum is built. for this reason it requires Izzet to change it.

Hmm. Trick the system! Join C44 again with your new email address and the same user name*.

* Inform the board owner what you did to avoid being accused of having a double ID**...

** We can't have that on C44, can we..?

BBB it's just under the

"Email addresses are not visible to guests or search engine bots, but only to registered members.

You can opt to hide your email address so nobody sees it. " and is headed as follows:-

Show Email Address to Members? Yes (Recommended) No, hide my email address so nobody sees it

You highlight the option to hide your email, pending your new one being implemented.

Hans is obviously off on one... again!
