Keep your email up to date!

Hadn't been on here so long I forgot me old email was defunct then got a PM tonight and the site locked me out! I thought I'd done some bad ju ju or something to get banned! Finally got the message at the top that my email wasn't good and it wouldn't let me post until I updated it!
Just a friendly reminder after a small heart attack!

Sure? Your sig line has the word '....' in it. I bet that's what did it.

The software will automatically place an account in a restricted status if an email bounces. So yes, keeping your email address current is vital if you wish to post.

You changed your email address?
I'd rather kill myself.

I am still living with a bad choice of email address from 20 years ago.
I have to explain it all the time.

No, Deadcat2 does not mean I hate cats...
It has to do with the "curiosity killed the cat" saying...

But you know how people like to jump to conclusions.

It hasn't been by choice! I took a sabbatical from everything internet for a year or so, did a little surfing on my phone, but that was it. My ISP killed my email addy from lack of use when I finally came back to my laptop, so I start all over again.

While provider email addresses are handy, if you don't plan on using the ISP until the world ends, it's generally a good idea to use one of the more common free addresses provided by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. However, even Yahoo will kill your email account after a period of non-use.
