I am trying to change the email address used in my user profile by doing the following:    The button becomes disabled, leading me to believe that the change was successful. However, reloading the page quickly proves that it was not successful. This happens on multiple sites.  Details   Browser: Opera 32.0.1948.69 Operating system: Ubuntu 15.04   Debugging  I decided to dig a bit deeper so that I could provide some (hopefully useful) information about what's happening on my end.   When I click the button, a POST request is sent to /accounts/verified-email-set The form data does contain the new email address I entered The response from the server is 200 OK The response data is:  {"success":true,"message":"you will no longer receive unread inbox messages via email"}    The interesting part of this is that I did not see that message visibly displayed anywhere.

The email for getting notifications can be changed by clicking the "preferences" tab in your profile. After entering a new email address, the "Save email settings" button becomes clickable:    Clicking the button turns it grey:    So all looks well. But if you don't confirm the email by clicking on the link sent to your email inbox, the next time you go back to the preferences, you will see your old email address with no indication that it changed.  You can subscribe to the weekly newsletter from the "edit" tab of your profile. If you click the option and save, the next time you visit the edit page before confirming your email you get this message:    Once you confirm the email, the resend link disappears so you know the subscription is set up:    Ideally, the two systems would be unified so that all email subscriptions happen the same way. But short of that, it would be very helpful to indicate that an email address is unconfirmed for notification emails just like newsletters.

I've noticed that emails are not protected in the user description. For example  entered his email and when viewing the source code of the page it is plain text that malicious bots could harvest and exploit to spam. It would be nice if email addresses were automatically encoded to prevent this.

We've made some changes to profile editing. The TL;DR is:        We now encourage users to set a name and picture during signup. If you sign up with Google or Facebook, we pull them in and let you edit them before you create an account.   We've made  across multiple Stack Exchange sites easier:       a. Profile editing now defaults to saving everywhere, and syncs much   faster (&lt;5 seconds, where before it would take up to 5 minutes)      b. If you've customized your profile on different sites, you can now   sync only your changes to all sites (so you can avoid overwriting   customizations if you need to e.g. change your email address)      Now, a bit more detail and a quick word on why.  New User Signup  As part of our efforts to , we noticed that a large percentage (~60%) of new users had no name or avatar -- the ubiquitous "user1859302". While this can be used as a signal of a low quality post, in general it's bad for the site because it makes it look like nobody cares, the opposite of an expert community. When they're common on the homepage or in search results, it becomes something of a broken window.  So, we now encourage users to set their username and avatar during signup. To make it even easier, if you sign up with Google or Facebook we'll pull in your name and picture and let you edit them before you create an account. Since we've turned them on, these changes have reduced the number of nameless users from about 60% to less than 3%.  Here's what it looks like, for the curious:    Note that we don't store your image unless you confirm that you want it, and you're free to change both the image and display name and go back to being "user19580329" if you really want.  Profile Editing  The old profile edit page gave you two options: save your profile for this site (the default) or copy all your changes everywhere in the network. This caused two problems:   Most users didn't want to customize their profile on every site. The default was wrong, and the thing they wanted to do (just update it everywhere) was a big scary "Copy changes to all Stack Exchange sites" button. The users who did want to customize their profile, often didn't want to customize all of it, just one or two fields. If they ever accidentally clicked that "Copy changes..." button, it would blow away all their customizations.   So, we made it a bit more intelligent. Here's the original spec which basically outlines how it works:    Basically, the system now assumes that most users just want to have one profile everywhere and makes that the default. If you want to customize, it's now a bit easier to find and when you make changes only those changes will be copied everywhere so you don't have to worry about losing all your other customizations.  To make this even work, we fixed up the syncing process so that it happens nearly instantly across all the sites. This gets rid of the 5 minute delay when you save changes on one site before they show up across the network.  That's it!  and let us know what you think.  Credit:  on the profile editing and  on the signup changes.

This appears:     Our apologies, this form has been disabled due to suspicious content. If you believe you have received this message in error, please contact the original form author.     How can I make my form code work?

I was able to change my name on all Stack Exchange sites, but not on the main profile at  itself.  Is there a ways to do the change on  as well?

This is a little confusing to explain, so bear with me here...  I want to set up a system where a user can send templated emails via my website, except it's not actually sent using my server - it instead just opens up their own local mail client with an email ready to go. The application would fill out the body of the email with predefined variables, to save the user having to type it themselves. They can then edit the message as desired, should it not exactly suit their purposes.  There's a number of reasons I want it to go via the user's local mail client, so getting the server to send the email is not an option: it has to be 100% client-side.  I already have a mostly-working solution running, and I'll post the details of that as an answer, I'm wondering if there's any better way?

My husband wanted me to set up a Facebook account for him and I accidentally used our shared email address, which is set against my own account.  Since then, neither of us has been able to log in, so I can't alter any settings.  Can anyone advise how to resolve this please?

I registered my Stack Overflow account using the Stack Exchange OpenID provider. I later changed my e-mail, but I cannot change the e-mail address associated with my OpenID for some reason. Why is that, and how do I change it? I logged in to Stack Exchange and it lets me change my password, but never my e-mail.

I am really new to WordPress programming and I am not even sure if this feature exists. What I am trying to do is send an email to users (not admin) when an admin changes their password/email?   At present when I add a new user, an email is sent to them but no email is sent to them when I change their password/email.  I will really appreciate any assistance here.

When a Community user tries to register using an email address that already exists in the system (using self-registration), they receive a very generic error message:     "Your request cannot be processed at this time. The site administrator has been alerted."   Does anyone know how we can customize this error message (via code or anything else) to rather display something like this:     "Oops! Looks like you're trying to register with an email address that is already associated with a User. Please go back to the login page and log in with the email address and your existing password."

On my homepage, I'm using this method to hide my email from spam bots:  &lt;a href="admin [at] example.com"    rel="nofollow"    onclick="this.href='mailto:' + 'admin' + '@' + 'example.com'"&gt;Contact me&lt;/a&gt;   What do you think about it? Is it effective? What other methods do you know or use?

A while ago I lost my password database (and since then do the obvious and have encrypted backups...) and as a result I lost my password to most websites and I was unable to recover one of my emails. I decided just now to see how the SE site works on mobile (I use the app exclusively), but I just realized which email this account is associated with!  Is there any way I can get the password or/and email of this account changed?  If not should I try to use this account for as long as possible, or just start over now? I'm finally at a happy place with my account and it'd be a shame to start over.

Well today as I was going home I got a strange email, in my private inbox (email associated with S.O.) asking me if I had solved a question on S.O. that I didn't ask. To be more precise I had given an answer.   After reading:       and several other email related issues on S.O. I decided to let you all know about this because probably I am not the only one.   So the mail subject was:     Re: Deleted facebook account - Cannot access my apps?   which refers to   And the body (masked last name of sender):      Hi Jimmy,      Just wondering if you ever got this question answered.  If not, maybe   a brief chat with a html wizpert could help: link   .      Good luck getting this resolved!      Cheers,      Michael      ------------------------- Michael W%^%^GF Founder, CEO @ Wizpert   Now I know that my email address is not visible and I read about the MD5 regarding gravatar but I don't think this is the case. I thought about some methods and sure it's possible via metadata, github, etc for someone to get my mail, but I do not dare to think that this has reached an automated level, so that some service could easily get the email of S.O. members.   I didn't get annoyed by the message, since the CEO took the time to contact me :-p but someone else could get annoyed by these kinds of messages, since they come in the important inbox of gmail.   What is more strange is that Wizpert seems to be a nice site and also is active in the Careers 2.0 if I am not mistaken.   Another thing that crossed my mind is that since Wizpert needs unanswered questions to promote their services, possibly this is an action of Wizpert trying to attract people into their services.   Well that's it, I hope I did good to let you know (maybe I did't include the correct tags).

My site is made of book(book pages) and any authenticated user is able to send the book page as an e-mail to anybody (other user in the site / external user using e-mail) he wishes. The mail system is working fine but when (lets say) User1(user1@example.com) is sending mail to anyone, the sent mail headers are as follows:      site_admin@example.com on behalf of user1@example.com   I want that a user should be able to send the email directly by his e-mail id.  I am using Drupal 7, with  and  configured to send to book pages.

If an email message contains an email address in the body, Gmail automatically converts it into a mailto: link, which is helpful.  And many times each day I've enjoyed being able to right-click a mailto: link in an email (within Gmail) and then click "Copy email address" in the context menu.  Then I can paste that email address into a program (such as when I want to search a database).  However, within the past month or so, I've noticed that I can't right-click and click "Copy email address" without Gmail then popping open a "New Message" panel and changing my current URL to have ?compose=new at the end.  I wonder if it's related to .  How can I disable it?  I'm tried of having to click the "Discard draft" trash can button so many times throughout the day.

I have a form on my front-page. It sends the entered address to Google API and returns the JSON to wp_options. That works fine. I am using update_option to do that, so it rewrites the meta_key each time. How would I go about having each address entered remain?    $address = esc_html( $_POST['address'] );    //assign JSON object to var using  geocodeing function('address') input    $address_results = gmap_geocode($address);    // transfer data to options array   $options['py_name'] = $py_username;   $options['address'] = $address;   $options['coords']  = $address_results;    // create and name the option_name and set fields with $options array   update_option( 'row_name', $options );

Many times, when I copy&amp;paste an email address into the "To" field in a Gmail message, it refuses to send the email, saying that “the address has not been identified”. This is very frustrating. Is there any solution other than just manually typing the address?
