Can i change my email address and keep Display name?

[EXSSZV]

I have just joined the forum under EXSSZV but want to know if there is any way I can change my email address now and keep EXSSZV?

I stuffed up with my tpg account.

Cheers

go to your user cp (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/usercp.php), click edit profile, then click change email and password.

As has been said, yes you can.

While we're sort of on this topic, i noticed you can't sign up as a new member with a hotmail email address, and likewise can't edit your ISP issued email address to a hotmail account after you have become a member. Is there a reason that you can't change it back to a hotmail email after you have signed up with a paid account?

Yes, because free email addresses are banned 100% of the time, not just at registration.

The ruling on banning free email accounts has served us well to ensure people post responsibly. If they don't and they get banned, it's not as easy to just sign up again with the 30secs effort it would take to create another hotmail account. Most ISPs limit you to 5 email ISP based addresses, so the idiot posters soon run out of addresses to rejoin with.

Fair enough, just wasn't sure there was an issue with established members reverting back to a free email account. Thanks for the explanation.

yeh its a good explaination but not entirely conveniant.

i hardly ever check the email address ive had to provide here, but my hotmail one i recieve instant notifications ... i guess its not that big of a deal

Your exactly right, where not here to make in conveniant, where here to make this place a decnt place to be without the 'morons' and as has been stated, allowing free email such as hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc would allow banned users to sign up again in minutes to circumvent a ban etc.
Its a rule on 90% of the big forums you come across these days also.
