Sharpo51 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Today I logged in and got the following warning:EMAIL WARNINGYour 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.The account summary shows the correct address so I don't understand it.What should I do?BTW: The board changes the subject from "Email Warning" to "email Warning".

Christopher Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 No, don't apologize, I'm glad it was that simple. You would not believe how much more advanced this forum is compared to phpBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rauer Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I get that error msg too. I'm using the Gmail, could that cause the problem? Is it a banned email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 No, we don't ban any e-mail addresses here. It's merely a slight error from converting everything from the old forum system to this one. Like I said, try re-entering it in your profile and see what happens.

Christopher Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Okay, I manually deleted [and applied the change] your e-mail address and then added it back [and applied the change]. Clear your cookies via the link at the index, then log back in and tell me if you still have the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpo51 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanks, but I still have the problem. No big problem really, but still the error message.←Try to enter a different email address and then change it back to your first one - that's how I dealt with the error message "That email address cannot be used as it is already in our records" to re-enter my original forum address.

craftech Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Why is it that when I first go to the forum webpage it says "User Name" where the log in name goes and there is a "password" already there? It also says the time of my last visit???All cookies are deleted at the end of a session. All temp files are deleted as well. Cache is deleted, etc, etc.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last visit bit, if you're under guest mode, applies to all guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are troubling times on the internet.Thanks Kurisu,John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
