We've had quite a few people contact us recently regarding problems with changing their registered email address. Basically the forum software panics if you change your email address and will deactivate your account.
If this happens then there's no need to panic - your account is still there and can be reactivated easily. We'd advise you to avoid changing your email address if possible, but if you do need to change it and your account is deactivated, drop a line to
iberriman@futurenet.co.uk or
lholmes@futurenet.co.uk and we'll reactivate it for you.
