RTGRuss Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I can't change my email address to my email address, because it says the email address is already in use! How do I fix this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is something that came up with the new version of the board that we have now - a legacy issue involving multiple user accounts and the same email address (not allowed under this board software). If you have this problem, let me know and I can handle it as a board admin. I've corrected this problem so your Octus Imperium user account should be in good order now Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octus Imperium Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Your email address has been changed because it was in use by another account. This means that all email will NOT go to your correct email address - this could include lost password notifications, etc. PLEASE change your email address immediately. Above is the message I receive when logging in. It has happen both times I've logged in since the fix. The email address is correct now, but this warning pops up. Is there something I need to do to prevent this warning? Thanks Steve (Of course, do NOT delay turns to fix this minor issue!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and reset your email address to the correct one from your end and we'll see if that make the board software happy Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will report back and thanks for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octus Imperium Posted January 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Russ, Once again, it does not let me change my email address because the address is already in use. Should I change to an alternate email address, like work? Then try to change it back? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and try switching to an alternate email address then changing it back. The board software just appears to be confused Hopefully this will reset everything.
