Can anyone help, I'm trying to change my forum email address from my home email to my hotmail or gmail so I can access the forum messaging while I'm in hospital. I'm going in to change email, but when I do it keeps saying that the new email is on the records (which it's not-I've only had the one email). Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong, all free email services like hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc have been banned due to spamming

Oh, that's a bugger. I'm getting a wireless usb modem and prepaid plan potable plan from virgin for the duration of my flat-on-the-backness-I wonder if they have an email/outlook service that goes with it-I guess I'll find out. May have to be just content to browse the forum.

Yes you should an email account with virgin when you sign up, I do not know about outlook as I have never used the program and never will

Sorry to hear you are heading for hospital. I'm sure you'll get an email account but the easiest thing is to hit the "view new posts" at the top of the main page and you will see everything posted since you last logged in.
