LJ PSA TIME! Keep your email account updated!
It's PSA time again here at LJ!
* Go to [http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/]
* YES, go do it right now. Sheesh!
* Check the email address on the account.
* Do you want that to be your email address for your account?
* If so, leave it alone.
* If you need to have a different email address on your account, because the old email is no longer valid, CHANGE IT.
* Keep in mind that you will need to have the new address for 6 months before you'd be able to remove it from your list of validated addresses.
* Keep in mind that you'd need to receive a validation email in order to validate that email and be able to use all of the features of your account.
Remember to always keep an updated email address on all of your internet accounts. Most sites these days will NOT change your password for you and will NOT change your email address for you. They don't want to change it and get sued because some identity hacker made the changes and screwed with settings on your account.
It's *YOUR* job to keep that information up to date! So go check it and make sure it's current.
Love,
kate.
who just did several hours of support consisting mostly of "forgot password, defunct email" requests, and really wants to make sure she never has to answer one of those for you people.
