Wrong email added in previous account

Post by Tanookirby2 »

Hi,

I just tried to change my email address and password for my old account, but I entered the new email address incorrectly, and the confirmation email might have gone to the wrong person. I am unable to access the old account without a reactivation link and had to create a new account here to post this problem. Can this be remedied?

Thanks very much

A forced reactivation was done on that account. Look for an email to let you update your user data.

How long should I expect it to come? Did you use the longer email address associated with this account?

No, it goes automatically from the email in the account being reactivated. What are the first four characters of the email address you want used?

It's joem, the same letters I'm using in this account; but I can't use the email address in the previous account because it is already taken.

Email addresses have been switched so that this one has an invalid address and the original user ID has the correct account. A forced reactivation has been generated for that original account.
