wtf?

[zCypher]

I just updated my email address in my profile, and AnandTech sends me my new password. OK. I log in with it. Login credentials invalid. WTF?

I login with my old password and it works. Refreshed a billion times and nothing's fishy. Go to the profile, email is updated. wtf?

LOL, that isn't nice. Funny, but not nice.

Have you PMed a Moderator and/or Zuni?

Is that email address you put in a banned one? If so the new password won't work

But why would the email addy be updated in the profile?

Maybe you need to delete your cookies?

If your email address is provided by one of these providers, that could explain the problem:

To be honest, I dunno - the same thing happened to me when I tried changing my email in my profile.

BTW, add ev1.net onto that banned list

damn, lots of banned people. no, it wasn't on that list. it's OK though, everything works fine - this thread got moved here by the moderator cause I guess he felt it wasn't suitable for OT - but it really wasn't much of a serious thread, so oh well. things are fine with the account, so I have no actual complaints, just sorta noting that this weird bug happened.
