New e-mail address

My e-mail address has changed. Although my provider claims that my old address is still current......it isn't.

Therefore, I do not receive notification from the Forum, that there have been further posts on threads that I'm following, and I can't receive PMs.

Does anyone know how to tell the Forum administrators about my revised e-mail address - please?

Go to ucp.php

Click the profile tab

Click edit account settings on the left hand side

Then you can change your email address in one of the boxes.

Hi John - I PMed you about it the other day, but I see that you are having problems with PMs...these shouldn't be affected by not being able to access your email..just click on the 'new messages' bit at the top.
I shall pass on the previous message to admin anyway.

Your email address is part of your Forum account settings. To change go:

  1. User Control Panel
  2. Profile
  3. Edit account settings

then

  1. Enter your new email address in the "E-mail address" field, and again in the "Confirm e-mail address" field
  2. Enter your password, as it says, in the "Current password" field
  3. Click "Submit"

Thanks Si et al. It didn't go as smoothly as you probably expected, but all is sorted now - as far as I know !!!!
