Perhaps because we don't know as have not been asked this before.

As far as I understand, your email address is linked to your username. Mods can probably change it but you would have to PM your current log in details to one of us to see if we can do it in the control panel for you.

You should be able to PM a moderator.

Is there a specific reason why you want to change emails (ie to not receive notifications etc)?

Probably easier to register a new account on the forum and then we can disable this one for you.

Thanks for reply!

I will think about it..

Is It still okay to drop msg direct to moderator once I'm able to send PM's to change the email on this account?

Thanks!

Of course.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

New users have a number of restrictions on using the full function of the forum. I had suspected this was likely the issue but was not sure.

Glad it is sorted out for you now.
