Hi there,

I've changed jobs, so I tried to change my profile's email address. Seemed to work, but then, when I checked again today, it still had the old one. Not a problem I thought - someone restored or rolled that change back. When I tried to change it again, I get told that the email address is already in use ...

Hopefully this isn't being dtored in 2 different places, one updated, the other not?

Hmmm, I get the same error when I try to change it.
I'll get Graz to take a look.

I would edit that post to get rid of the email addresses if you don't want to get spammed.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Ta NR - are email seeking daemons smart enough to rip email address from forums, or do we have "friends" who visit for that purpose ?

Wanderer, when you changed it, did you get a confirmation email sent to your Yahoo account ?

That's what's holding it up.

EDIT : Actually the confim should be sent to your new one.

Both, email havesting software is pretty sophisticated so I'm told. You give it a list of keywords, it uses google to find the relevant sites and newsgroups, and returns anything it finds.

Thans Merkin - that was it .... guess that my inner blonde must be coming through - had the mail, but missed the section that said, quite clearly, click here to complete update (it was to the new account )

oh well, fixed now.

Google toolbar seems quite intelligent - allows popups from the current site (quite important for Snitz Forums), but not from alien domains.

Wanderer - "Hoesit my Broe" - Yes, not many of us use this site.

I suppose it their loss, not ours :)
