ADMIN I CHANGED MY EMAIL ADDRESS ON TB. NOW I CAN’T POST. HOW COME?

I run this post every so often because people are, well, people.

Situation:

You changed your email address on TB. Suddenly you can no longer post, or see any room except Main.

Reason:

When you change your email address, the forum software automatically locks your account and sends a verification email to the NEW EMAIL ADDRESS. In that email is a clickable link to reactivate your account.

IF THAT EMAIL IS SENT TO THE SPAM/JUNK FOLDER BY YOUR NEW EMAIL SERVICE (or if you typed in your new email address incorrectly), YOU WILL REMAIN INACTIVE FOREVER.

Solution:

Locked accounts can still PM. Send a message to a staff member (PLEASE don’t send everything to me!) asking to be reactivated.

Good info to know. Thanks Dennis. I've been changing my email addy on other accounts recently and I always look for small details like the verification link and such.

I have done several searches and can't find who I need to contact.
I ask you Great Guide ;)
