R26DAVE Posted 5, February 2009 Report Share Posted 5, February 2009 I changed my e-mail a while back, and was instantly locked out of the forum. Thankfully Dish was on hand to sort it out ASAP. Someone will be along soon to help out I am sure...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS-172 Posted 6, February 2009 Report Share Posted 6, February 2009 Not my area of specialty, but I'm sure that Dish can sort it you need to let dish know prior to changing it so he can reactivate your access to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it does not accept my gmail account, is there a restriction on using free accounts as your email?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragyn Posted 9, February 2009 Report Share Posted 9, February 2009 It may not like the "." in your username. I'm sure Dish or one of the other admins can manuallu update it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 9, February 2009 Report Share Posted 9, February 2009 All sorted now We don't allow hotmail, gmail, etc accounts due to the high number of spammers that sign up using them. If anyone wants to use one then they must first sign up with another email address (ie Australian ISP domain or something known and identifiable) and we then manualy change it at the back-end. I've noticed that after a good few weeks of very few spammers signing up, we're seeing more applying on a daily basis. Not sure what our next line of defence will be.
