@administrator That post was sent just a few minutes ago.
When I checked my email to after my original post failed, I found the message accepting my reg and asking for email confirmation, which I did. Then there was another timestamped after I did my initial login saying I had requested a change to my email address, which I HAD NOT done. I reconfirmed and was able to login and post the message you saw.
One possibility: The initial field when you login is labeled "Username/Email address". I may have supplied my email address rather than my username, Could that have been seen as a request to change the email address. In the email requesting confirmation of the bogus new email, both the new and the changed address were the same.
When I logged in and posted successfully I definitly used my user name and not my email address, Are they not interchangeable there?
It's a mystery,
