SLIGHT ISSUE
« on: October 23, 2013, 01:59:22 pm »
Hi, My other account, Theafroscotsdwarf, Had an email address in use that is hacked. Due to Hotmail saying that I don't have enough evidence to get it back, I've been changing all my accounts to my new email address. In doing so, It has decided to send the email verification of a changed email address to the hacked email.

Can you see my conundrum? I had to make this account to put this topic here.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

More into a PM or e-mail to Toady.

Hope you get this sorted out, and I hope my account doesn't get hacked. Linked to way too many things.

This is why I use Gmail. One time some Chinese guy tried to crack my account and because he was from China he wasn't even allowed to log in because that's not where I live. I know Google is about as much of the devil as rap music and Sarah Palin but at least it does some things right.

Doesn't really do much, just an extra line of "are you sure you are you?!" when you sign in from a different country. More annoying than anything - if someone has your password, you've got bigger problems. :P
