 Removal of ability to change Emails
« Thread Started on May 4, 2009, 3:26pm »

Although this had the purpose of being able to let a member access their profile if their email client no longer worked, or accessible, this option was abused by the minority of admins to get aroound the password changing, again it was used for reading members PM's.

For those that still need a method to allow the member access to their account due to email problems, the only way is for an admin (or staff with access) to delete the members profile, and let them re-register the same username.
This method will NOT allow the member (or anyone else) to have access to their old PM's, but will associate the member with their old posts.
Things like poscount can be updated in the members profile by staff with access to modify a profile, so a note should be taken before deletion
