Just a little site update for registered users. We have amended the backend of the website so that you are now unable to alter the email address that you initially sign up with. Our reason for doing so has to do with individuals posting links to hate blogs in the comments who have changed their email addresses so that they cannot be contacted or identified.
For those users who legitimately would like to change their e-mail address associated with this site, send us an e-mail to discussion@matthewgood.org from the e-mail address you’d like to change your account to, and make sure to include both your matthewgood.org username and password for verification. We’ll update your account and notify you at the new address when the change in complete.

Thanks for the clarification, but couldn’t I send you an email with a person’s username and the email publically listed for that profile and have it changed to my own? You’d need to get more information than just the current/new email address and name, perhaps the password or something.

Good point, Colin. I’ll amend the post to include the password.

Sorry for the off topic request, but theo (or whoever’s maintaining this site) might be able to shed some light on some weird weird stuff I’m seeing in the RSS feed… like two dozen “Untitled” articles show up in the middle of nowhere. any idea what gives? I’ve switched to the http://feeds.feedburner.com/matthewgoodorg feed… am I crazy?

Soundstruck, I maintain the site.
After testing on my end, the feed is working properly. What reader do you use?

Don’t know if this is related, but I just signed up. When I try to change my password (from the default), I get an error message asking me to please enter my e-mail. I can’t change the e-mail field, and my address appears correctly, so…

I got the same error message when I tried to input my name in my profile.

Ditto for me re: error message

More than anything the Internet has proven that there are far too many people with way too much time on their hands.

Might I suggest perhaps a simple logging of the old and new email addresses (with whatever data you wish to store) so that if someone has changed their email after performing such actions, you will have retained the previous contact info?
