Somebody is taking the piss. I changed my christian name in my account and the change has saved. Has my email change been saved ? FUCK NO

I just did mine without issue. Put it in, added password, it says it's changed but it hasn't but then when you go to the orginal e-mail account there is a lovely link to click and only then it changes on your account.

SwedishEdith · 20/08/2015 21:15

Log out and then log in and try again? I think there's a delay with some changes.

AnyFucker · 20/08/2015 21:23

2 days delay ?

I have got to that page where you confirm the email change but it says "error"

and why will it change some of my account details and not others ?

Definitely sounds odd. Have you tried reporting this thread and seeing if you can get some help that way?

The whole thing is such a massive pita isn't it?

Leeza2 · 20/08/2015 22:20

No it's just you, any fucker

You've said LTB one time too many and now the bastard hackers are out to get you

RJnomaaaaaargh · 20/08/2015 22:22

I think there was something about this working but the link is broken - are you getting a biscuit?

AliceAlice1979 · 20/08/2015 22:29

I changed my email address but it didnt immediately show up as a change online. I had to verify the new email address later. Have you checked your new email inbox properly and junk folder for a link?

AnyFucker · 20/08/2015 22:35

I get to end of the links. Get asked to put my password in to verify the change then what looks like the very last page is an error message

I changed mine yesterday, when I did it the old emai, address showed until I went and found the confirmation email, clicked on the link and I think you had to re-enter password. Did you not get an email?

AnyFucker · 20/08/2015 22:46

I have had a dozen bastard emails inviting me to click the verification of new email button

It goes to an error page and my email doesn't change (even though on the same page has been updated)

I think it's fair to say it's just you then, sorry

Leeza2 · 20/08/2015 23:06

See I told you it was a conspiracy

StephanieBeacham · 20/08/2015 23:37

Mine is the same af
Tried over and over. Sure it is a glitch.

Deianira · 21/08/2015 10:51

Mine is the same - tried several times at various points over the last few days and it seems to work up until I get the confirmation email, but when I attempt to click on the link to 'confirm' the change, it just directs me to an error page and doesn't actually change anything.

vindscreenviper · 21/08/2015 10:56

Same here, it did work on the 5th attempt. I don't know why though as I didn't do anything different to the first 4 attempts Confused

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:29

Can someone tell me how to screenshot the error page I keep getting please ?

What browser are using? Sometimes Chrome won't let me do stuff that Firefox will and vice versa....

JonesTheSteam · 21/08/2015 19:12

Typed too quickly.

What browser are you using?

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 19:19

thanks anyway Jones, have done it now Thanks

AF mine did this, turned out it was due to using an old email that I'd had associated to a, now long defunct, previously registered account.

Could that be it? I emailed [email protected] and they checked it out really quickly for me.
