I can't change my email.

[xgrind]

Hello.
I can't change my email here on the forum.
It asks for my current password, but I type it in and get this message: The current password you entered is incorrect..
But it's the same password I used to log in.

That is due to a security vulnerability, it has been disabled quite some time ago, see here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia.org_u ... il_mean.3F

You have to open a bugzilla report for our sysadmins to change your email address.

Isn't this https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33653 ?

Could be, although that would also be something for sysadmins to take a look.
If you want, I could try to change your forum mail adress to see if that is actually changed in the reply notification mails.

Good idea, please do.

The "xs4all" part of my old e-mail address needs to be changed into "freedom". The rest stays the same.

I've changed it, please let me know if you got a mail.

Thanks for changing it. However, I received no mail, neither in the old mail box, nor in the new one, nor in their spamboxes.

Just checked again, your old mail adress with xs4all is back in your profile. So there seems to be at least a daily sync with whereever the forums pulls your old mail adress from.
You can only try to directly ping either Maat or maybe Dan from our sysadmins to take a look what's happening there, although I don't know if Dan or any of the other sysadmins (apart from Colin who did the last forums updates) knows the forum intrinsics.

Thanks, Florian. For now, I only CC'ed them in my bug report https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33653#c2
I'll refrain from personal pings until I know whether xgrind's issue is indeed the same as mine.

Could you try changing my email as well?

As mentioned previously, that will not help. But please feel free to send me your current and new mail adresses in a private message.
