skycat 6,172 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Can any moderators please help? I've got a laptop now, to replace my desktop that is, soon not to be, with Virgin, as we are moving on to a boat. I've set up the new account which now says awaiting validation. But it's been so long since I joined that I can't remember what to do next! Do I have to wait until someone in admin sees my application and send me something to fill in? I have one day left before my current email address expires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,376 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Why not just change your email address on your account your using now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Why should you have to set up a new account just because you have changed computer ? Sometimes I'm on here on my pad like now, sometimes it is on one of two laptops or generally on the IMac. there's no problem in switching/using any of them. I've also used other computers like at work. Just sign in up in the top right corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still don't understand how changing a computer or provider stops you getting onto the site. Why not get hotmail/ outlook mail address. It doesnt matter where you are or who your provider is. I've even logged in from a hotel computer out abroad. Perhaps I am being a bit thick here. If so advise me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
