I went into my Control Panel and attempted to change my E-mail address. I could put in a new address and confirm it and then put my password in the box that says “You must enter your current password if you wish to alter your email address or username.”

When I click submit, it says the password is invalid. To verify that it’s correct, I logged out of the Vassal site and logged back in with no problem. So, my password is fine.

You have to change your email address from the “Modify account” link at  
the top right. The Control Panel of the forum isn’t connected to the  
single sign-on system we’re using.

(If you’re subscribed to the mailing list, you _also_ should change your  
subscription address via the mailing list interface.)
