Changing Account email details?

James,

Hit the "Go" tab up above; then "Personal Zone"; then "Profile"; then "View / Edit Complete Profile" (in the upper right portion of the box.)

Thanks John done that a few times in the past but still comes back as the old details.
Have tried again today a couple of times,not sure if the comfirmation/activation of change is stil going to the old address.
James

There is a "Save Changes" button that you have to click down near the bottom.

Done that too.......
James

James...

Do you make a change, click the button and then go right back in and the changes are gone? Try tweaking your signature line and saving that change. See if it goes away when you click "Save Changes". Let me know what happens.

Eric thats seems to have worked,got my email address changed and got the comfirmation email and clicked the link which asked me to sign in again but each time it fails.
Think I`ll give up and try again in the morning.
Thanks again James

Tried again this am and have not been asked to log in so fingers crossed all is OK & ready for the big change.
James

I'll try to look back tomorrow then.

The system is a mess, and glad/hopeful its going to change with the new forum. I believe you need to go to the e-mail the change program sent you and confirm the change. Whoops.... that old e-mail is no more so now your stuck. I made the mistake once of having a typo in the one I changed it to and got locked out completely. Had to pester Rich to please change it to the correct one so I could confirm it and move on.

1. Log in to the forum
2. Click on "Go" button at top left of screen
3. Select "Personal Zone"
4. Select "Profile"
5. Select "View/Edit Complete Profile"
6. Click on the "Change Account Email" box
7. Make and confirm your change
8. Scroll to the bottom of the window
9. Select "Save Changes"

Same procedure applies to changing your password (which I did a couple of days ago because I had forgotten the old one).

James,

I tried logging in to the new forum with the correct ID/password and was unable to do so. I'm guessing that the reason is that it is not ready yet. Is that what happened to you?

You cannot log in to the new forum yet. It will not go live until some time in the morning of February 1.

That's what I was thinking. I wanted to try it to see if that might be what was happening even if James had everything correct.

Thanks guys for all the help,managed to change the old email address but it seems my resetting of the password will not accept the new one.
Well I will have to wait untill the 1st and if I can`t get in I will have to reregister as a newby.
James

Sorry I couldn't help more.
