back in the day, word on the street was that if you changed the email address in your profile, that identity would die. is that still true? was it ever true? is it safe to change my email address in my profile?

only one way to find out, moondog ;)
- determinedmoth0
Only if there's an R in the month.
So not untill september...

kark! can't find the moondog password to test with that name, so might have to make a new name and then try it out. rnh.

eh? i've changed my email address a few times. what's happened?
- paraselene0
really? they must like you more. hon changed the email address of no1son and he died, and i just changed the profile of moondog and blammo!
- vespa0
hmm. haven't done it for a while, maybe it's a new "feature"
- paraselene0
which sucks, cos people trying to email para at the address in the profile are sending emails to my old job.
- vespa0
but why do they allow you to change it if it kills the identity?
i have to check now. it's like a "wet paint" sign. irresistable!

that happened to me with my old name, but i just changed the one on my new one and it worked.. it reset the password though.
- moondog0
wahey!
- moondog0
okay, so that worked now. it does reset your password. wicked, qbn! cheers! i'm gonna give it a go with para now. wish me luck.

the moondog arises phoenix like from the ashes of a mail change.
