When AT&T Broadband switched to Comcast over a year ago, I went into my
profile here and changed my email.  But, whenever I tried typing in my
Comcast email into box up top when typing a new post, it would never accept
the email -- I would click post, but it would tell me I entered in the wrong
address.  But, in my LUGNET profile, it shows the newer Comcast email
address.  I usually post a link to my website in my sig, from which the newer
email addresses is accessible, but my site has been down for a while, and
since I haven't built anything new in a while, and thus haven't posted here
much lately, I didn't think not including the link to my page (with the newer
email address) would be too much of a problem.  Plus, email sent to the AT&T
address has always just been forwarded automatically by Comcast to the new
address.  I usually get all sorts of automated junkmail from Comcast, some of
which is mildly informative, but most which is not.  Now that I look at a few
of the more recent ones, I see that they mention that as of the new year they
are no longer forwarding email sent to the old AT&T addresses.  That must be
why your message didn't get through.  Maybe this is something Todd might be
able to help me with?  (Or. maybe I'm just not updating the address in the
proper place?)  THANX!

Maybe not!

Update it here:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/

Then, since you're having trouble and we need to trace this one of us will
approve it right away. Then try posting to off-topic.test and send the admins
(and TODD) the exact error you get, if any. If you don't get any, a note to the
admins saying that would be nice.

It IS a ToS violation not to go to this page:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
and go through posting setup WHENEVER your email address changes.

Why?

It is MANDATORY that admins have a way to contact you if there is a need. You
can spam disguise it if you like in what appears on the site but a human who has
little tolerance for guesswork (such as me, I am more finicky and reject more
spam disguises than Todd does) MUST be able to easily and unambiguously decode
it without any special knowledge.

For instance my own disguise:
   "Larry Pieniazek" <larry.(mylastname)@ascentialsoftware.DOT.com>
is quite unambigous, in my view.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Lenny! (...) I tend to be a little wordy. ;) Both in real life and when typing, whenever I'm in a situtation where I am either trying to explain something, answer a sensitive question, or point out details, I've just got a habit of trying to get (...)
