How company recently changed e-mail addresses for all the employees. Both the format of the username and the domain changed as well. Our old address will still work for 2 years before they wipe it out, but of course they want us to start using the new address now.
Many websites, including NI discussion forums, use a person's e-mail address as the login name. When the e-mail address becomes inactive, how does that affect my interaction on the discussion forums? Obviously, I could still login using the old e-mail address. But any e-mails from the forum for things such as subscriptions to threads would no longer work. I could not find any place in my profile settings to update my e-mail address for subscription purposes. Of course, I expect it to be difficult to change the forum login name since that would be my unique identifier in the forum.
This shouldn't really cause me any problems for almost 2 years. And I'm sure I'll have to deal with it on other websites that use your e-mail address as the login name such as sites that I purchase products from.
Anyone else had similar problems with e-mail address changes? It makes me wonder, if the new e-mail address is supposed to be better, why didn't they use the new format way all along.
