    Hi.

    I need to change my username and so subscribed. I also edited my email address though and am having problems with email activation in that I'm not receiving the email...I have checked spam and its not there. I'm getting error 404 when I try to resend. Here's the link https://www.boards.ie/auth/resendVerification?userid=438479

    It seems until I sort the email activation I can't access the subscribers section to change my username.:confused:

    Thanks.

    Yes, we need to get your account activated before your name can be changed.

    Have you followed these instructions:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056856789

    Is that the link that appears in the "request your activation email" link in the announcement?

    Hi. Yes that's the link when I click resend activation email.
    Have not received the mail though and have tried a few times.
    Appreciate any help :)

    Rather than click the link, can you right click and choose copy link location from the announcement window instead? And then paste that here.

    There's been a few of these links broken recently, so I've alerted the tech staff to check it out. Sorry, but this'll mean a slight delay in the meantime.

    Catherine, the tech staff have corrected the link in the announcement, so you should be able to use it now.
