m moving to a new address and may have to have a new internet, phone, electricity. How do I notify The Straight Dope Board. I will be moving on Saturday.and want to continue with the Straight Dope?
You don’t have to do anything. The Board doesn’t pay any attention to where you are; as long as you get your login correct, you can reach it from anywhere.
If you change your email address, just edit in in your profile. Otherwise, do nothing.
Yeah, this ain’t Battlenet.
They know how to find you. :eek:
In America, internet finds you.
forget about notification. what about permission?
Moving is a hassle, but fortunately I can take care of the paperwork with Jerry, Ed, and all the others. Send me $20, your new address, a copy of your housekey, and what hours you’re typically at home, and I’ll take care of everything.

The only thing you will need to do for the SDMB is update your e-mail when you change internet providers.
Click on the upper left where it says UserCP to bring up your user control panel, then click on edit e-mail and password on the left.
New electricity? What are you doing with the old stuff?
On the email changing thing you could get a free gmail account and then never worry about having to change your email here at the Dope when you move or get a new internet service provider.
And that’s only if your e-mail is through your ISP. If you use Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail or any of the myriad other free online e-mail services, you can just go on using it just like you always have.
Well, they didn’t install those child-safe plugs, so it all leaked out.
You need a moderator to come to your new place and do a walkthrough. I recommend samclem, he likes road trips.
I keep all my old unused electricity in a jar in the closet. I know (and Qadgop the Mercotan, being a doctor, will surely agree) that one should check the expiration dates now and then, and dispose of all the expired electrons. But they don’t take up much space, and I keep thinking that some of those old electrons may someday become valuable collectors’ items, just like those old Mad comic books I threw out when I was much younger and dumber.
ETA: But be sure to handle them very carefully, lest something like this might happen!
I’ve moved 8 times since joining the board, and the bastards always find me.
We see you when you’re sleeping,
We know when you’re awake,
We know if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness’ sake!
