E-mail Address Invalid All of a Sudden?

Post by Soul Shinobi »

I was trying to update my signature just a minute ago, but it wouldn't let me citing that my "e-mail address is invalid" all of a sudden. The e-mail hasn't changed, I looked to make sure I didn't accidentally clear the field, it's the same address it's always been.

Excuse me if I'm jumping the gun here, but has someone instated one of those retarded rules that qualifies Gmail addresses (among others) as invalid just because they can be had for free?

Nothing has changed, gmail addresses are still valid. The only thing that I see as a potential issue is the msn messanger email. I don't use MSN so I don't know how it's setup and if you can have a non hotmail/msn email address for msn messanger. Maybe that is what the board is getting cranky about.

Try updating your signature again and let me know if you are still having issues.

I tried again, and tried again after removing my MSN name (which is my e-mail address) and it still gives the same error.

Haven't changed a thing.

I am probably going to add a tool that required users to have valid email addresses, but yours should be.

Try changing it to a different, even invalid, email address, without the MSN email, and try again.

I just realized that I don't even see an e-mail address field there. I don't even know how I'd change my e-mail!

You don't see an email field when you click Profile?

What style/theme are you using?

The one that isn't black. :D I'll switch themes and try.

Okay, I'm using subSilver and I can't change the theme for the same error message.

I've always used this theme, and I've edited my profile successfully before...

Quite odd. Let me know if changing themes helps.

Also, try another browser. Perhaps the cache and/or cookies are wonky.

Subsilver works just great for me.

Ah-ha, that was it. I was using Google Chrome instead of my usual FireFox.
