Hi, I’m registered on another Discourse forum and I went to my preferences to change my email. I saw the message that says I’ve been sent a confirmation to the new email, and I have yet to receive one (it’s been a while). I tried triggering it again, but when I click to edit the email, it just takes me directly to that same message. My existing email is still there, but now I’m wondering if it’s stuck and I can’t change it at all if I never get the confirmation and can’t re-trigger the confirmation. Any ideas? ---

Never mind. I logged out and logged back in and the email edit function became available again. Emails received. 🙂 ---
