Changing email addresses on AW

[Nick Meanswell]

Has anyone had the need or tried to change your email address on AW?

A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a panic and changed my email to an address I don't have access to, so I couldn't verify it.

I then came across a tool that is supposed to change your email from the unverified one to a new which should in turn then be verified.

However despite numerous attempts to change it, it doesn't work. I've tried to email support, but there is some automated system which searches the text, and suggests that I use the tool which doesn't work, blocking me from sending my email to a real support person. Admin on here told me to post a thread, or ask for help on the AW site, as I have already done.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

I changed mine from Yahoo to Gmail when AW were having security issues with the former a few years back.
As far as I remember it was straightforward. What's the waiting time for verification before it negates the request?

When you try to email support, you are right it does automatically search relevant text and suggest probable answers. However, if you read that carefully, it should say something along the lines of ....... Did that answer your question? If you say No, it should give you the option to send your email anyway. I think it double checks again and asks do you still want to send an email.

It takes seconds no more than a minute, i changed mine a few weeks ago when i was worried about some idiot hacking my accounts.

I can concur. I set up a new email account for AW and it took about 15 minutes to do - would have been quicker but my connection is so rubbish...............................!

Well I had this theory that if the email wasn't verified within a certain period then it might revert back to the original email - but it looks like I may be wrong. On the other hand I noticed that whereas all my feedback and field reports seemed to disappear from the record of the girls they related to they have now reappeared.

I think my problem may be something to do with changing to an email address which can't exist xxx@gmail.com. I keep being told that that is not the email associated with my account -but if I try the old correct one, it doesn't like that one either!

I think the problem is with computers, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...

I lost an account on adultwork and then it re appeared out of the blue, lost all my credits etc, no profile just got an email one day saying the account was activated, most strange....

Some people think it is the people that are a problem, but I understand people, I do not understand computers...

I do not have that problem, I have a £10 Nokia - It works !!!!

My chief concern was that I didn't realise how to get the Admin on the site to know about my predicament. Thankfully it is all now resolved, as I finally managed to get a message through to the support team and they have fixed it for me, so PoshPrat is ready to ride again - oh yes!! Thanks for all the advice guys!
