While I was looking at my user control panel, I decided to enter a fake email address for my account, not realising what would happen. Now, I am locked out of my account, it sent a confirmation email to the fake email, which doesn't exist, and my account says "awaiting confirmation". So, if any moderators or admins have access to people's accounts, please set my email to mike*0*0*007 (at) hotmail (dot) com. If there is no admins who can do this, then I will have to use this username from now on. If anyone sent me a PM or anything within the last 2 days, resend it to my new username, I have lost everything from the old account. Also, to anyone who is reading old threads and wants to PM me about something, send it to my new username, I know people will ignore this and still pm the old one.

Yeah, I am a n00b. But syntax****** said he has sent an email to the admin to get my email set back to my real email, so I should be back in a few days if there is actually an admin to respond to emails.

Yeah, sure did and the email was forwarded to the web******. I've seen post on this before and most web******s that have forums do not know a thing about databases. These guys should be able to reactivate your account with no problem. Its all stored in a simple database, hopefully mysql. I should know something by monday when i can get to my main email account.

No, I think I deleted the activation email, and it was probably on one of my old accounts which I also deleted as well. But like syntax****** said, the admins should have no problems changing it back to what it was (mike*0*0*007 (at) hotmail (dot) com), they have access to the database it's stored in.
