I just tried to email you on moderator@singletrackworld.com but I get a bounce back. I want to change the email address on my profile as the existing one is an old work one I can no longer access. How do I do that?

I got sent that the other day w/regards to one of my posts that was deleted.

I was fuming, so I typed a stern worded reply only to have it bounce back.

This tech support?

Right. I have been gifted a month’s P last month and this. Two different members, and both times I get the following error.

Email subs@ and they'll sort you out. Two gift subs will probably keep you going until the new forum arrives which you said you'd pay for. Probably.

Enthusiastic yet useless, is the phrase that springs to mind. Although I’m not entirely sure about the enthusiastic bit

Do carry on

Ta.

I was wondering if STW's email is hosted by Google (I have no idea whether this is the case) and it seeing Gmail emails as some sort of non-existent local account or something. I've seen similar with Office 365. But I've just tested it from my own Gmail account and it worked, so I've got nothing I'm afraid.

Well it certainly looks that way from the MX records...whether it then FWD's on eslsewhere is another matter.

Eh, yeah, I could have actually checked. Thanks for that. (-:

Doesn't explain why mine works though.

Same for me from a gmail account.

FWIW mine was also a reply to a snarky mail from one of you guys - I assume the other protagonists were dealt with in a similar manner?

Thanks for all those that suggested the Profile/Edit/Networks route. However, I then get this message below, which requires me to click on a link that is being sent to an email address I can no longer access! 😕

[i]There is a pending change of your email address to **********01@gmail.com.
Check your email (
**@eoiltd.co.uk) for the verification link, or cancel the pending change.[/i]

So its not actually possible for me to change my email!

Actually, that reminds me why I was looking at all of this ....I had put an ad in classified and it was deleted. No comments, no message, just gone! So I wondered if people get emails letting them know about these things, hence checking my address and realising it had long been defunct!

So do Mods notify people, or communicate with them when deleting stuff?

Yes, it would go to your email that was on your profile.

Kinda ironic really when one of the reasons cited for things getting out of hand occasionally on here is ability to be semi-anonymous, yet the mods' modus operandi is complete anonymity via their group email address.

I thought having to explain your own gag was an automatic banning offence? 🙂

I cannot blame any mod for that , they do that because of how we acted towards them in the past and, in some instances, currently still do.

IMHO the poor bastards do a decent job of moderating this rabble...for free.

Its not hard to see why those of us who come to their attention do so and its not hard to see why we would never be happy with their decisions.

Sorry to be tedious, but is this being looked into or should I just get back into my box?
