I need to change the e-mail address associated with my account, but when I try to make the change I get a message saying, "There's already an account with that email address." I must have used it before, probably years ago. Can one of the staff members make the change for me? If so, how do I contact him?

- Go to your account;
- Log Out
- Got to your account again.
- Click the "Forgot password" link.
- Fill in the email address you want to go use.
- Click Submit.

Wait at that email address for the message from Seti to arrive, when it does, open it. Click the link in the email.

You are now at the second account with the email address you want to use on the first account, so click password first. Fill in an easy to remember password, do that again and click "Change password".

Next click "Change email", fill in a garbage email address or a very old one you never use anymore anyway, fill in the password you just made up and click 'Change email address".

When done, log out.

Go to your account again.
- Log in with the first account (the one you posted with here).
- Go to email address.
- Fill in the address you just rescued from the previous account.
- Fill in the password for this account (not the one you just made!).
- click Change email address.

Done.

Ha, you're welcome. Mostly written from memory as well, I really need to get a life. ;-)
