Why doesn't the forum allow my gmail address when I signed up?
I understand the reason but maybe after a period say 30 days or so one could be allowed to change
I do have one with my ISP that I used to register but the only time I ever access it is when I run across a scenario like this
otherwise I do all my online business through Gmail and yahoo so If someone here where to email me I wouldn't see it
Ian,
Is it possible for you to have your ISP address, the non "disposable" one, forwarded to your gmail account? I have several that I do that with so they all come to my .mac account.

When I read your message I said "Why didn't I think of that ?" Then I went through all the menus in Outlook Express (and Gmail too) and found out you can't do that.
Errrr, Ian, in my experience, email forwarding is something done at the server, not at the client. So you would need to check your ISP's web site, to see if they offer an email forwarding option.
if the members as a whole think it is too much to ask that people who want to use a disposable account have to take an extra step of sending an e-mail to us to set up an account, so be it, this rule will change.

Mr. Evans, I really don't know the difference between jumping thru hoops and dancing.
I guess I'm trying to say that this forum is (IMHO) starting off on the wrong foot.
However, I do wish you the best of luck...

I have exactly the same situation. I use Yahoo almost exclusively for a variety of reasons and I will never see notifications to threads or private message alerts in my email. If the policy on signing up is to stand I also vote to be able to change after a thirty day period. I would think that anyone just wanting to cause trouble would not wait thirty days for a quick thrill.
Also, is there anyway to have spell check? That would save me some embarrassing post.
