Thank you for your quick reply
I have tried what you say but this did not seem to work - I'll try again though
I can only say I did not receive any confirmation email and I've used the 'Change Email' link now and no confirmation email is coming through.
There is no way for me to know why the site is not sending an automatic confirmation email or, if it is, why I am not receiving it since I have other emails sent here without any problem.
The link in the email says a confirmation email will be sent and so does not report a problem.
I've just tried again and here is what it says:
"Mail was sent from [email protected] to [email protected].
A confirmation request has been sent to [email protected], the email address you wish to change to. When you get the message, click on the link, make sure you're signed in, then click on the Confirm button."
But no email has been received by me and this is at least the third time I've tried this.

It's late in the UK now where I live so I'll turn in.
Perhaps the easiest way is for yourself, as an editor, to simply change this email link (if this is possible for an editor) on the basis of the comments I've made and without needing any other confirmation.
I've whitelisted the change email address from the CVP.
Thank-you

OK, I've tried again with a different email address (still a hotmail one though) with the CVP address whitelisted. I'll wait a while and see if anything is received.

The new email address seems to have worked and I would much appreciate the following messages be taken off when I sign in:
"Since this person's email address has been returning email, it has been marked as dead in the database to prevent more email from being sent to it. It may still work, but if you want to continue receiving email from us, you should change the email you have on record with us."
"For citational purposes, we keep records on anyone who contributes content to this site. Since Glenn Nicholls has contributed content to this site, our database listing on GlennNicholls needs to stay up. But if this person is dead or no longer interested in remaining active on this site, let us know, and this account can be made inactive."
Thank-you for your help

Sorry to persist but I'm puzzled here - I've signed out and then back in but the former message is still showing even though the new email address has received mail from the CVP.
The message shows under person information.

This other paragraph seems to appear on everyone's person information page, even editors it seems - it's just a way of making sure what persons are or are not active I suppose.

I think there is a fair chance that Chess in its various forms is the world's most popular board game, or thereabouts, but if FIDE claim 600 million adults play Chess (and presumably they mean play Western chess regularly) they are claiming perhaps one in eight of the world's adult population do so - a big claim indeed.

It seems there may not have been a backup for a week - has this been forgotten?
It seems a member trying to change his email address might not work - I've tried to change mine but have not received the necessary email to the new address with a link needed for confirmation.
Could somebody check this, and also a backup hasn't been done for some days now.
If somebody could kindly sort these two things out - thanks.
SAE Nicholls
Thanks for the quick response.
I can't see anything - can one of the site's editors simply change it to the new address if I give them this?
Regards

There are messages when I sign in:
"For citational purposes, we keep records on anyone who contributes content to this site.

But if this person is dead or no longer interested in remaining active on this site, let us know, and this account can be made inactive".
This messsage seems to be because my email has changed to [email protected] but I cannot seem to edit my existing no longer used (and by now probably dormant or deleted) email to change it to this current and live one.
I would then ask that one of the editors kindly updates my email link address and is aware that I am certainly interested in remaining active on this site - indeed I have been keeping up with comments in the past few days and my latest contribution was this year.
Thank you for the help I am sure you will give.
