I signed in and got the following;

Confirm New Email Address
Verizon.net will not work!!!!! - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT, PUT A WORKING, VALID EMAIL ADDRESS HERE, not some fake one!

After you change your address, you will be sent a link that you MUST click to reactivate your profile. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POST USING THAT PROFILE!

READ THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS, WE REALLY MEAN IT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL, PUT A WORKING, VALID, NON-FAKE ADDRESS IN HERE OR ELSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE YOUR PROFILE!!!!! Seriously, don't be a smartass and put something fake or otherwise stupid in here, or your profile will not work!!!:

What id the problem (other than I couldn't find any 'contact us', so... this is here.

Theree's nothing wrong with my email!
Have I been hacked?
What's with the language?
 
I think you may have accidentally hit a wrong button. I've seen the same screen a couple of times and it was due to a "click" error on my part. Just back up a screen. Mike

The reason the instructions are worded so strongly is a problem we had with people not taking them seriously before. And if someone does use a Verizon email, it won't work. For whatever reason, Verizon won't allow BF as a destination for its emails.

Why you got tagged for the message, I have no idea. As Mike 157 says, try again.
 
Thx for the response.
I'll let you know if it happens again.
Yeah, probably wrong button...

Wait! I got the login screen, logged in, and was taken directly to that messege!

Oh well, probably a one time thing....

or is it (cue wavy music and fade...)? *__-
 
It won't even ALLOW you to sign up with a Verizon email address so you can't even try it. Still wondering how long ago this was implemented as every other VB board I've signed up with (including knife forums) allow Verizon and it works just fine.
