Ni! and hello,

I am in the process of trying to update my email across all of my projects and some have let me change it but a few (namely Wuprop and GoofyxGrid) will not allow me to update the email address or create a new account with the new email. I am trying to go from an old yahoo account to my current gmail account but both the manager and the website tell me that the email is invalid even though I used the same new email at 29 other projects and they switched just fine. Can someone help me figure out why this is happening?

Thanks

If no typos, and if you can still log in at those projects, you best ask at their individual forums. An admin of either project can check what their settings are with regards to user changes. It's also possible you require some credit or RAC for changes. But that's all project dependent.

Did you try logging into the websites and manually changing it?

If you can't login, you can reset your password if you still have your Y! account.

If you're using something like BAM!, you have to be absolutely sure all your projects are on the same CPID if you're trying do it through them.
