Changing an account e-mail adress

Unread post by Ëlfdragon »

Well, i lost the e-mail i have this account under, and am wondering if i can switch it to my new e-mail adress? I know i dont log in much anymore becuase i got alittle upset one of the last time i was on, but i want to protect the forums from someone who might try to log in thats not me, and i dont wish to delete this account. So, as i asked at first, is there anyway to change the e-mail this account is under?

Sure. I don't remember the 'real' way right this instant, but if you IM me the e-mail I can do it manually.

(Sorry about not looking up the right way right now. Been a long day and I still have many hours of work ahead of me.)

-> upper right corner: User Control Panel
-> Menu on the left: Profile
-> still menu on the left: Edit Account Settings

1. Change your e-mail address in 1st box.
2. Confirm it in the 2nd box.
3. Enter your password in the 5th box.
4. Click on the Submit button.

Lean back, relax & enjoy... :lol:

She can't get into her old email, and you have to get in there to confirm the change, thus the problem. Good guide tough, Kara. :P

I'm sorry to tell you, Saturo, that I just changed my e-mail adress twice without any problem or confirmation mail sent to me.

So I'd say my guide is not only good but working as well... :lol:

Oh?
phpBB forums usually send out confirmation mails.
