Unfortunately that does not seem work! I too have a new e mail and have tried to change it several times.
If I want to change my e mail, do I need to choose a new password too, or should I just enter my old one in the last box?
I have tried all combinations of this procedure and cannot get anywhere.

Hi Jennifer
I contacted Haymarket on your behalf and they promised to get back to me with a solution.
This seems to have been an empty promise because despite my reminders I still have no solution to offer.
Have you tried re registering with your current email address, in effect re joining but with the same username?
Log out, then click log in and then click on Register to enter your new details.

Ok, I have re registered. Funny thing is, I did not get a chance to give a user name, it went straight from registration to saying "welcome back Jennifer".
And if I close down so that I have to log in when I return to the forum, in the log in boxes it still has my old e mail.

You have to register as though for the first time and clear your old details from the boxes to replace them with your current details. Other than that I'm sorry but I don't know what to suggest.
The main thing is that you can still add posts and read the forum.

I changed my email address yesterday and logged on fine using the new one today.

Yes, that was what I did. It must have worked as when I tried to do it now it said that e mail address was already in use.
I am now logged in under the new e mail.
What did not work was trying to just alter my e mail in "edit profile"
It is quite a while since i first registered, so cannot remember if there was a box for choosing a user name? There wasn't now, I was immediately identified and welcomed back as "Jennifer", that was the bit that puzzled me.
Is it the PC website that automatically fills in e mail and password on the "login" page? Does it recognise me from my computer or whatever?
When I log out and then go to log in again, it is the old e mail that automatically appears. Am I making any sense here?!

No Jennifer, if your email address and password are automatically filled in every time that you log in this is from settings on your own computer.
The P.Cv database such as it is recognises your I.P address and your email address appears in the moderators edit suite alongside your posts and the email address is coupled with your username in the data.
You entered your name on the new form which is why your name appears in the 'welcome back ' logo but to chose a new username you need to log in manually with your new email address and then click on EDIT PROFILE and delete any previous details then enter your new username, password, email etc.

I've just re read the last couple of posts and realised that you wrote
'Am I making any sense here?!'
and I replied with my first line
'No Jennifer, if your email address............'
Sorry Jennifer, I didn't mean my post to come out that way lol
I know what you meant, honestly!
