When I try to change my email address on this website, it says "Invalid password" every time. I obviously logged onto this site with this password but it doesn't work there.

Sorry Lumenos, I somehow missed your post here.

The website retains your signon from day to day. But to change your account it wants to reconfirm your password. It sounds like you signed on to the website ok some time ago, but now are not entering the same password as you try to change the EMail address.

Simple test, go to another PC that has not used the Rosetta site before, and login to the message boards from there. That will confirm if you have a problem with the correct password, or if there is some problem with the change EMail address function (which I just tried and it seemed to work fine for me).

I'm posting here from a different computer, which I have never logged on to this site with before. I've logged on to this site many times by typing the password in, as I did here. I'm using a different web browser with all security and cookie permissions set to allow almost anything. I never had an "invalid password" when logging on to this site. I clicked the "email address" link from the "Your account" (my account) page. I entered the same password I used to logon to this site, to change my email address. Each time I got the error, "Invalid password."

I changed my password, then it let me change my email address.

Glad to hear it. Now I'm curious, did you have any accented or otherwise odd characters in your password?
