This is for the user accounts, not the author information. Somewhere in the replies to the article about this Magnus says that they want to combine the two. Honestly, I don't think that will happen soon--and I would rather have the file archives updated anyway.

As for changing your author email address, send an email from your old account (if you still have access to it, if not, then I don't know what to do) asking for them to switch to your new account.

Well i think this is kinda of a pain because you have to confirm and all this nonsense they should concentrate more on the files rather than have people sign and reverify and all this time wasting activites.

All right, I know this is unrelated, but I also know of no better place to post it:

I want to start a site dedicated to discussing programming and gaming on the TI-83+ and also reviewing programs. I want to do this because no one wants any more reviewers and I want a place to discuss random things about the 83+. I am not sure where it will be hosted, but I aim to make a well designed site (HTML 4.01) that people will revisite for TI-83+ info.

Does anybody have any ideas for a *name* for this site? I am good with computers, but not all that creative. Help.

I don't know what I think of the account verification system. It seems okay to me so far.

yeah. Gotta watch out for those 4 letter words. Didn't Dwedit used to be a map editor for the original Dark Forces game? (it was a piece of crap, but it did better than any other program)

Does anyone else remember that there was once a time when there were very small quanities of these now-rampant off-topic posts?

What they need is a better forum designed for general threads such as homework, programming, and completely non-related issues while keeping these forums intact.

Finally, it works!
Knight/Rocket Account Info

I finally managed to get my account working again, so verification is fine with me. I understand the attempt to clear vast amounts of dead emails, but I think I know another way. Why doesn't ticalc institute a "secret question" as Yahoo has?

This secret question would enable a user to get an account functional again after accidentally putting in the wrong email address, for example. In my case, I put in the wrong address, and ticalc needed a way to ID me to get my account changed. This would allow for that.

Just a thought. :-)

Heh... if ticalc didn't have their head shoved so far up their arse, maybe they'd notice that. Hmm....

What good is having your email address if they don't even use it???
dude9687  Account Info

Oh my god. I just had such a pain in the ass with ticalc.org when I posted FallDown 2.1 for the 83+. I entered my email as dude9687@pacbell.net, and it showed up as revenge@planetquake.com! It's almost as though they don't even care who you are! I emailed them three times about it, and they never responded once. I'm amazed. Such a nice website, such a crappy support system. One word: BLOW!

I change my mind. I dislike the verification system. It's annoying and it should just ask a secret question instead.

Why would asking a secret question verify your e-mail address? I don't really understand. I think it creates an md5 hash of some of your account information and sends it to you. At least it looks to me like it does that. And then you go to a page and enter your nickname, password, and the hash (code) sent to your e-mail address. And then it's done. It doesn't seem like much of a hassle to me.
