How do I change my profile?

Post: # 6542Post ina »

I'm trying to change the e-mail address on my profile, but it won't let me do it! Keeps telling me it's the wrong password - does anybody know what to do?

Ina :?

Are you sure you are using the right password?

I've just had an experiment with my profile, and I could change the email OK simply by changing the already entered email addy and then entering my password and submitting.

Unfortunately the FAQ is completely silent about what might go wrong.

Yes, I've just done the same thing without any problems.

Perhaps you could change your password first, then try again, just in case you mis-typed or forgot your password. I use several so find it hard to remember which password I have!

Alternatively send a message to Andy, but he might not pick it up straight away. :cry: Or maybe Wombat?

Is the password case sensitive? In that case, I might know what went wrong. I'm sure it's the right one as I use the same for everything - yes I know, not very security-conscious, but it would get too complicated otherwise! :?

I'll try again.

Cheers for your help

Seems to have worked now! It wanted my password three times, which doesn't seem to make sense, but hey, I can be generous with my password... :lol:

Cheers again

And I'm now getting the notifications on the new address, so that bit of it works, too...
