Unable to change email on forum account.

[Reko420]

I can't add my email to my forum account so I receive notifications to subscribed topics, it always says incorrect password.

[sMartins]

Yeah... but most of all, at least for me, to know which mail you used on the account ... cause if i forgot my password or stuff like that I don't even know which mail is related to my account.

If you want to change your email for the account:
Go to edit account settings and enter the new new email twice into the first two fields, then authenticate with your account password in the field on the bottom, click submit.
This should only been needed in case you no longer have access to the mail account that was used to register on this site.

You can configure notifications in the board preferences.

Suggest editing that image out, also, you need to fill the "Current password" slot to change your email.

I'm not doing anything wrong.... its giving me incorrect password when in fact it is the correct password... I cant be the only one having this problem

Oh shit, just tried it out myself too, can confirm it doesn't work like it's meant to work.

Informed Loftar of the problem, moving this to Bugs.

Hmm, I guess phpBB tries to authenticate with its built-in password, which isn't set since it normally uses external authentication against Haven instead. Not immediately sure how to remedy. I'll have to think about it.
