Please be sure when changing your email address to type it in twice; once to change, once to confirm.

When you only type it once, your registration is thrown into message board limbo and you will not be able to sign in to the board.

I changed my e-mail address correctly, but was automatically locked out of SDMB.

Sitting in that little used e-mail box was an e-mail from SDMB telling me I was locked out since I changed my address. There was a link to click to get squared away.

If this posts, it works.  
Maybe I won’t be :mad: just 🙂
