Seriously, only alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9) are allowed in nicknames now.

[DI] lMG0D5552666,

Because you may have personal images (or skins you might upload and so on) are held with in a directory on our image server, we can only accept alphanumeric characters. Characters such as "[" or "]" become invalid since that is not a valid character for creating folders on the server.

IMG0D....contact [email protected] as he'll be the only one capable of accessing your nick directly. Explain you cannot access it yourself because of the current brackets used in it....

Help Please?
I need to change my email address but can't seem to get into edit my changes. Can someone help please?

It seemed to me that Frogboys original post or a version thereof would be an ideal introductory sticky to the new board. It is welcoming, encourages self-help first and directs people to appropriate pages.

Should work now...there was a database being worked on for a period of time and it gave that error while they were changing stuff.

You may have to email [email protected] at this point in time, because I dont think there is an option to change email addresses yet.

i don't think so !!
they accept anything if you ask me
when creating an account they show the error but
they go on before you have read it !!

To Change your Password or Email Address on Wincustomize:

Click on "My Account" in the top right corner.
Click "Personal Information"
Now, right below where it says "Welcome WinCustomize User" there are two tabs...click the "Options" one.
Change what you need to change.
