Hi,

Is it possible to change the username and e-mail address?
The username is not my biggest consern, but i will lose my e-mail address. So I want to change it.

Yeah but I see no option to change it. No edit button.
If I only enter the password it says: Your profile has been updated...

Agreed, neither username or mail address can be changed under Profile -> Account settings.

Might very well be possible for the administrators to change someone's mail address, but for us 'registered users' it's currently not open. That's probably a choice made when setting up the forum because of the way phpBB handles a mail change (effectively disabling the account until it can be verified).

Might be easiest if one of the administrators changes your mail address for you.

Grtz,

The forum (PhP BB) uses the website (Joomla) user database. As the Joomla database is leading at his to be changed over there.

If I recall correctly you can change your email when logged in at the website part of the site. Under user preferences you should be able to change it.

That should indeed do it. If not, you can contact me so I can try to change it in the Adminpanel.

Ah, sorry, didn't test it.

This worked indeed. Thnx.
You can change the e-mail address via this link. To change the username you have to contact a system administrator.

You have to change it via www.scramble.nl - the website.

Otherwise contact me via private message. I can do it in the backend.
