I have an old non-working email address in my profile / account settings, and I have been trying for a couple of days to change it, and the site responds as follows:billofdurham wrote:Right spot!!

Absolutely nothing - that is just the server freaking out from being overloaded. Try again and you should be able to get it to go through.

Just tried again with the same result. This makes about ten tries at different days and times over the past week. It stalls, sends the error message, then I get an email calling for me to reactivate, and when I go back to control panel/ edit my account settings, I still see my old email address in the first line, my user name in the confirm email address, and a row of dots in my password line.
Seems like a bug to me....

Hmm...interesting - sounds like you've found a bug. Shoot me an email with what you want your email address changed to and I'll see if I can get it done for you.
