Just tried to change my forum email address to my Gmail one and it says it's banned.. is this a global policy or just me?

Global. You need a non free email address like an ISP one

Just went to all the trouble of telling everyone I'm changing email address.. and now i can't use it here..

Simple solution is to host your own domain, then you can either have any email address you want at your domain, or forward it to any email address you want (i.e. gmail).

/strokes domain and mail-server

Only costs me £1.99 or something silly like that a year (or two years, can't remember now).

I suppose I could install somethign on my Server.. what software are you using as the mail server?

i can understand having a isp linked email address to sign up to stop spambots and the like but once registered couldn't we be allowed to alter our contact addresses?

its not much of a issue but my current contact address isn't my favoured one, i only use the current one to store the 'fair usage policy' emails from tiscali

Hmm, that one is now a 30-day trial, used to be free for up to 5 mailboxes

I changed my trust one to my hot one as I don't use the one I signed up with, it's from my previous ISP...it's still active, just it isn't my personal one.
