Hi there!
I'm trying to change my e-mail address in "My Account Settings", but when I try to save changes I receive this error message:
There were errors on submission of this form
Please remove Invalid characters from short user name

The thing is, one is not allowed to make changes to that particular field...

Re: Can't change my e-mail address

You may have to sign up again with the new address and a slightly different username, then let me know and I will delete your old account and reassign your past postings to the new one. Then I can change your username back to your current one...

Sorry, I know it's kludgy, but I think it's the best way round it

Re: Can't change my e-mail address

If it works, It's fine with me.


(always liked a bit of personal attention anyway Wink )


So, this is the new account. Can you also keep my profile?

Hi. Thanks for the tip, I shall be changing to Sky soon so no doubt will have to do the same.  Andrew  just a thought of the beaten track, is there any chance that you might be reviewing any of the Alessandro headphones in the near future.

Any chance of getting that dash back in the GSXR (i.e. GSX-R)?

Not really my area - you may be more likely to get an answer from the review team in the hi-fi or accessories sections

- Test post -


It seems to work, but I do not see my old Bio in my account settings.


Should I copy my old Bio from the old account myself, or is that just a flick of a button for you?


 


And my Avatar seems somewhat reluctant...

If you're getting no joy from Clare, there's not much I can do...

Re: Can't change my e-mail address

To recap, the lack of UK distribution is holding us back (not to mention that Alessandro has never offered us a pair for review!)

With so many other, widely available headphones still to test, i'm afraid they're well down the priority list. Obviously things would be different if they suddenly were more easy to buy!
