I need help! Please!

MarkG, DanQ? Administrators and Moderators! Put your listening caps on because Dominikos has a problem.

Here is the damage report:

Whenever I try to change my profile I get the following message:

"There is already a member with that email address, and the administrator has required that all users must have unique email addresses. If you already have a username and have forgotten your password, please click here."

I do see my old e-mail address there but I can't even change that. My new e-mail is siberius@sympatico.ca

I logged in as Dominikos yet I can't change my own profile! Do I have another handle (old and forgotten) that may be interfering?

Any help would be appreciated.

let me see what I can do...

Ming · March 20, 2003, 02:24

Give it a try now... I've updated your email address to the one that was provided.

Let me know if you have a problem.

Dominikos · March 20, 2003, 03:09

Oh no!

I tried changing the flag, for example, and I got the same message.

I appreciate the effort Ming.

Did you get an email to that new address that had a link to confirm the address worked?
Perhaps that confirmation step could be causing problems.

Perhaps Ming could delete the account and you could re-register?

Dominikos · March 21, 2003, 19:45

The problem is still there. What the hell is going on?

I didn't get any e-mail confirmation.

Ming saves the day again.

Hope you get it to work, Dominikos!

I had to delete one of your old DL's that you had set up (and never used) with that email address

Dominikos · March 21, 2003, 21:14

Thank you DC. A box of fine Belgian Chocolates perhaps?

Dominikos is a happy Apolytoner once again!

An old DL!?!?

Must have been from the good old days!

Are you at liberty to reveal which DL it was?

It was a strange one... the email address was a match, and I was able to match the IP address between it and your current account... The name was something so non-descript that I don't even remember it. It had never been used so I just deleted it.

DarkCloud · March 21, 2003, 21:27

Shame Dominik

Yes, I would like some chocolates please

- Is colon still sending them care of you?

Spam sharks feeding...

DrSpike · March 22, 2003, 07:59

So are we allowed to make DL's as long as we don't use them to post?

Nikolai · March 22, 2003, 12:41

What do you think, Spikie?

Nahhh... But in this case... the DL was over a few years old, had never been used, and it was obvious that he had even forgotten about it... Just deleting it seems like the proper action here...
