    Hi lads,

    I was sick of having my email spammed with every reply to every thread I've ever posted in. Instead of just trying to find an option to stop getting email responses, I changed my email to a fake one and now I can't post because I can't verify the email because it doesn't exist. It was something like fiofefoief@gmail.com. Can I tell somebody my real email and get it sent there to re-verify the account instead?

    Cheers.

    It'll need the office to alter the email.

    Once that's done you can change your default thread subscription to stop future email alerts:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/profile.php?do=editoptions

    And you can remove the pre-existing subscriptions here:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription

    How do I get in touch with the office? I don't really want to have to make a phonecall or anything because it isn't that important I get the email verified.

    They should get to it soon on here.

    And Helpdesk replies need approval.

    Hi Hammer89,
    Please use a real email address only on Boards as a fake one which bounces our emails gets us in troubke with our email provider (when there are lots of bounces back).

    If you PM your real email address to me I can update it then change your notifications as Spear has showed you in hios post. Thanks :)

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
