I'm not sure how my email got changed
Posted: Jun 26th, '20, 01:06
I think I halfway remember something that I can't quite specify what I was asked. But I got the impression that it was to provide an alternitive way to prove I'm me in case of email failure combined with a failed password. Anyway whatever it asked seemed reasonable enough for me to provide another email. One that I don't like very much but makes a nice fallback because my primary email (domain) occasionally gets blocklisted by cable broadband providers and they never seem to do that to gmail.
Then I noticed that topic reply notifications started going to the gmail account. UGG It might take me weeks to notice them there.
So When Iogged in I went to the user control panel and the only email it was showing me was the gmail one. But when I tried to change it back it says:
* I note that visualy it looked like my username was above the line about how many characters
This bothers me because it was thanks to my failure to realize I hadn't updated my email from a defunct account before it stopped forwarding to my current one combined with a password problem that lost me access to my origianal user account. I couldn't prove I was the same jtwdyp, so NOW I'm mvjap3...
Anyway it's correct that my regualr email is in use, but that's by me on this same account!
I like the idea of the forum having both emails, if it means that if the one I'm using gets trashed I can use the other to establish that I'm me, the next time I can't quite remember my password.
But I really don't want to have to check the gmail to find out there was a topic reply.
How can I fix this?

The entered e-mail address is already in use.
Username:
Length must be between 3 and 20 characters.
