Change E-mail Address

[Henk van Aalten]

I would like to change my e-mail address used by the Forum. Can this be done, without losing the C.Net account?

I had a look at the Forum's control panel - personal profile, but there is no option to change your e-mail address.

So I tried to change it at the C.Net website under Your Account. To open my acount I have to enter my present e-mail address and a password. After entering my credentials, I get the following message:

Sorry, I don't have this email address on file. Please try again with a different email address. I do not understand this as I entered exactly the same e-mail address that is used by the forum to send e-mails to me.

What is going wrong and/or what am I doing wrong???

The old part of the site (the static pages and old buy and sell) and the Invision forums system keep separate names and passwords. Neither one knows about the other. Not ideal, we know, but a legacy of the way this site has evolved. I found it fairly easy to change my email on both sides when I dumped my old ISP a little over a year ago. More than once I've heard from folks who have lost track of one password or the other. I can manually adjust your settings on Invision/the forums; password, email, whatever, if you can't get it to work (just write me offline). The old side you'll have to check with Paul; he may be able to do that or he'll just suggest you set up a new account on the static side, if it is important to you to have one there.

I've found my way and changed both e-mail addresses. Thanks Ken!
