A number of users have set up their forum settings to email me when they get a PM or an update to a thread.

Now more and more users are changing their email addresses and not updating them here, causing email bouncebacks.

Plus we may make a change to the system in the near future which will reset everyone's password, and without a working email address people one will get locked out...

Please go to www.arcade-museum.com, log on, and then edit your settings if your email address needs updating...
 
Under 'User CP', and then under 'Edit Options,' each user can turn on the following settings:

* The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message. Receive Email Notifications of New Private Messages?

and

* When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread.
Options: Do Not Subscribe, No Email Notification, Instant Email Notification, Daily Email Notification, Weekly Email Notification.

When people don't update their email addresses when they change them, and they have settings above turned on, it results in bounced email messages.

We're going to start posting usernames here of people that need to update their contact info and we'll turn off the above options for them. After they update their email information, they can turn the settings back on. At some point in the coming months we're install an auto verify script that will require everyone to validate their email addresses every couple of months.
 
A few users need to update their email addresses, like:

rhombus
James_in_MD
mxracer47
SilverCoin
kjm8888
Daviea
Muhunglo
scucci (might need my help to change)
mudmantim
InstantArcade
havok69
 
I got the same error.

I went into VAPS and found that I had a second account which didn't match my main KLOV account (whoops). The second account had my correct email which should have been here on KLOV.

To fix, I logged into the secondary account on VAPS, changed the email THEN logged into the main account and corrected the email for it. All better now.

What a mess.

I tried to update my account with my current email addy but it says my current addy is already in use on the site. What now?????

Send me a PM with both the VAPS email address or VAPS # (seen on your profile page on the URL/web address line) and I'll merge the 2 accounts together...
 
email issues

I am not sure what to do. I can get logged to the update email link with my current email and a known password but it comes up with a different username than I use. If my last e-mail is what is still logged to my mxracer47 account is correct I cannot figure out the password for the life of me. Not sure what to do as I cant receive my password with that email account closed. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Rich
 
My email address hasn't changed in over 6 years. I logged in and it shows the correct one. So I just hit update to refresh it. Is mine fixed now? I also have been getting email updates from here all along...
 
Hi Greg,

I think you've got my VAPS account working, Thanks!

Is there any way to consolidate this (temp) account:

Member:CykoMF5
member_id=398018

...with the 'proper' one:
Member:CykoMF
member_id=395863

Not a big deal, only have a handful of games to enter, but it it's a simple fix.... Any thoughts?

Accounts merged. Go to VAPS, edit your game list and save something and it should bring up to date #s to your VAPS tag on the forum

Provide me enough info to identify your other account and I'll merge the two of them for you.
