My author email address is outdated too. Who should I contact to have it changed?

Please contact filearchive@ticalc.org.

Does that address gets checked once in a while? K it's only two days later, but I've sent it before and nobody replied then either.

I've just activated my account,
but man, are these codes long and difficult...
I'm not always in the positoin to copy and paste codes,
so...

Isn't it much better to use shorter codes, maybe even
randomly picked words? (or at least something pronouncable)
I mean, it's just to verify the arrival of the mail....

That is an idea - I didn't conside that some people don't have cut-and-paste. I just plugged in a module we already had, and it created codes of that size.

I'll see if I can look into that a bit later on.

A reasonably secure method would be to take two words from the dictionary file, and concatenate them with a number in between. You could use all words not more than than say six characters, and still have a high number of possibilites (in the billions, at least). Another method that I've seen used is to generate random, pronouncible words, and use those as verifiers. It should be easy to find a list of syllables with a Google search. For my employer's site (ITmom.com), I've always just used a random MD5 hash, and never had anyone complain. It really helps if you have a clickable URL in the email, though.

Dude you can remember your account info by having it safe in your e-mail. If you forget it have ticalc send it to u

doesn't sound too bad...I just wish there was a way to update my email address eaisly both on my account info and on all my programs.

We are working on connecting the author information with the accounts. The problem is that a lot of people have registered different addresses for author and email, so it's hard to match. But eventually you will be able to do it, at least if you have registered the same address in both places.

how often will the accounts be "verified"?
once every few months or something?

Once every 120 days.

Mine hasn't been 'verified' yet, and I'm not getting any messages when I post.

oh wait, forgot about the random verification date thing. nm.

I've noticed that I have 2 Author files on ticalc.org, both under the name Patrick Do. However, they are under 2 different e-mail addresses(I switched ISPs, and I couldn't look up the password; the e-mail was lost accidentally), so how do I consolidate them?

Way to go ticalc! Hopefully this will make communication easier among users.

Go to my website above ^

(this message is also offtopic)

I've d/l'ed it on about 6 occasions; some at school, once at a friend's house, and the others on my home computers.

So what exactly happens when your account "expires" and you don't verify it?

You can no longer log in, so you can no longer use the site features that requires log in (such as posting news and answering surveys).

Instead, you will automatically be presented with the "please verify your account" prompt when you try to.

I have never gotten that prompt, and I've never verified my account.

What's wrong with you?! Read the news article! (Hint: try the last paragraph.)

And quit posting this.

bwaa... I forgot. I is slightly dumb-ed.
