Signature...

Hi Christina,

I'm not familiar with that error. Some members do have an issue with signatures, but they'll get an error message about an email in use or another option being incorrect. What browser are you using?

I did go in and add your ticker to the bottom. Congratulations! :)

Thank you,

I am not able to post a signature. I've tried a dozen times and every time I get the error message "wisdomtooth2020@yahoo.com" in use. How do I work around this or can I? I am very frustrated with trying to post a signature.

Hi,

That's a known issue. The only work around for that is to change your email address. With gmail, you can have multiple email accounts with one name (for example, I could have erin@gmail.com or er.in@gmail.com, or e.r.i.n@gmail.com)—and have them all come into the one account. Google doesn't see them as different accounts.

Other email services are trickier, but another option would be to POP the email address into your current account temporarily while waiting for a fix.

With yahoo, you can create a new email address to use on here, and have it POP into your current email box. This way you won't have to check multiple boxes.

Here are the instructions for doing that in yahoo: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&locale=en_US&id=SLN3527&impressions=true

Please let me know if you need more help!

This is all well and good --- I already have Yahoo reading all my mail --- but really, my current iVillage registered email is associated with me as a CL. Changing the acoount means I'm no longer identified as such, right? So what is the work-around for this? I mean, after all, it's been a few months now and I still can't access my preferences to change ANYTHING (including my email --- beleive me, I tried!) because of that dratted "email taken" message, to say nothing of the character limitation which apparenlty was NOT removed from my siganture (mine still dies at cl of " ),

Have they not yet determined WHY we are all no longer coupled with our own emails?

CL for "

Hi Carol -

Your email address has nothing to do with your CL status. :) You can change it to whatever you'd like it to be, just be sure to let your mod know. However, in this situation, you're just changing the email address on the account—your CM would still have your preferred address for her needs.

You can change your email address here: http://www.ivillage.com/account/info - it's unrelated to the preferences on the boards so you should have no problem accessing it.

I want to clarify—you don't have to keep your address changed for long. Just long enough to make your changes. Then you can change it back if you wish.

The issue is from when we all had cl- names and it is on the list to be fixed.

HTH!

CM Erin, that happens to me also when I use IE. It just gets stuck... When I use Firefox then I can get into the siggie box, and I can delete the old code (the purple siggie you see) and then I can paste the new code in there ,,, I can save it and I'll see the new siggie in the siggie box, but when I get to the boards, it is the same old purple siggie.. just doesn't save.

Google has privacy and security issues. For many in some of the sections the privacy is important as there are data miners who capture what is posted on forums and re-post elsewhere. That is why any discription of yourself,family,or any identifying items need to be left off.

Another problem is the inability to cut and paste. I use Firefox

Hi -

I'm not sure I'm following your Google post—was that to me or someone else?

As for cut and paste, can you explain what's happening when you're trying to do that? I'm not having any issue with that. Is it happening in a specific spot?

Thanks,
