    E-Mail and Username issues

    Not sure if this goes here, but I cannot find a more appropriate location for my post.

    I have several issues right now:
    The e-mail address I am registered with no longer exists (the domain name was canceled)
    I never could receive e-mails from the site to begin with (I am a system admin and I check all my settings, spam filters, MX records, etc...)
    I am no longer employed as a security guard, so my username is not really appropriate (I am still licensed though) Should I request it be changed?

    Thanks

    I believe the general consensus among the Moderators is to leave the name you registered with. ArmyCop1980 and myself are no longer MPs but we've retained our original member names. That's not to say that I haven't thought about changing it, though.

    Not sure what you mean about being a "system admin", unless of course you're referring to another site. If these are what you consider "several issues", you're more than welcome to step into my life to see what my issues are. :rolleyes:

    By mentioning I am a system admin (basically I maintain, and run a computer network) I hoped to avoid the standard replies to e-mail questions such as "check your spam filter" or "are you sure its a problem with our site, and not your pc"

    I'd rather not have the issues of a cop, until I become a cop.

    I will leave my registered name as it is then. Thanks

    I'd recommend just registering a new email address with Google Mail (Gmail). I've used it since its early beta and it is a great service. It may have just been an issue with that specific domain that you previously used.

    If you are not accessing your assigned E-mail address...Then It 's been closed by the administrator and your all incoming mails are bounced.So the best thing is to use it regularly to have it permanent....

    As long as your name does not imply that you are a member of LE , you will be OK. Guard guy is fine.

    I have to say that, looking at your posts really leaves me puzzled. They (all 3) always seem to be a bit fragmented, almost contributing to the discussion, but not really.

    From your moniker and sig, one might assume that you are a lawyer. I would be hard pressed to believe that from the communication skills that you have demonstrated thus far.

    Try to be a little more coherent... and an intro in rap sheets wouldn't hurt.
