Is The Email Address In Your Ab Account Correct?
14 Answers
Good morning AnswerBankers.
There have been a few situations recently where we have received contact from members via email, however the email address they're contacting us with is not associated to their AnswerBank account. This means that we can not verify that the user we're communicating with is actually that user. This can cause issues because there are details we will not be able to discuss due to data protection laws such as previous emails and password changes. Therefore, if we can not confirm you are the user you say you are, we won't be able to help you.
It is also important that your email address in your profile is correct because if you ever forget your password and need to reset it, the reset email will go to that address. If you can't remember your password and can't access your old email address, you won't be able to get back into your AnswerBank account.
To edit the email address associated to your AnswerBank account, simply go to View your profile > Edit My Profile > Your email address: > Confirm your e-mail address > fill in Your current password * > Submit.
All the best.

Further to this: I have tried again to change my email address in my profile. This time, I had a message saying I had entered the wrong password. How could that be? I can't enter the edit function, without having already entered my password, to get there. I enter my password, and the message says the password is wrong. This is equivalent to

I am Not surprised that ABers are having problems trying to Edit Profiles.
Some months back I failed to have AB accept a new email address, so I left the original one stand as it was, purely so that I could receive notifications of replies to 'Subscribed' items. The old address is still functional, but is Not used as my primary one.
Incidentally, for some unknown reason, my Profile records my username as being my 'Favourite Food'. Try, as I have once again today, correction of it is pointless because, after submitting a correction, the page returns to its erroneous state.

Thanks Hans. It's not just me then! Still no reply from Ed/Spare Ab Editor.
