I was updating my e-mail address in the user cp, and when I hit submit it gave me the “you do not have permission” page. I thought this meant I was banned, and nearly had a heart attack.
I went to my e-mail account to write an apologizing e-mail, when I see that vbulletin sent me an e-mail confirming my new address. I then realized I wasn’t banned.

Ok very lame joke. (i hope nobody took this as in mocking)
I haven’t had a goodnight sleep…
Amusing, no? My wife did the same thingt some months ago, but had you really beat out.
You see, she tried to change her e-mail address to the one she currently uses - namely mine - because she cannot remember her old e-mail’s password.
Got that? Since she could not use that addy, she obviously could not get any message about confirming anything, so she could not change her addy on the boards.
