Can I change the email address associated with an account? If so, how?

Have you tried going to the Tools menu on the sidebar, "Your Profile", and then the "Add/Change Email" button on the page?

I want to change my handle. To that, I'll need another email address. I went through the trouble of creating a separate email address and I went to the add/change option and had my new email linked becuase I thought that "add/change" meant I could change and remove old emails, not just add and now BOTH emails are linked to my existing handle.

I just logged back in after a maybe half-year hiatus from TV Tropes. First thing I noticed is that it now has an associate email option. So I did.

Then I looked at my handle, and figured that I wanted to change my handle name, which I later found out is not possible. So I tried to create a new account for which it needs my email address to work, so I logged back in and tried to change my associated email address so I can use the current one for my new account.

Currently, my situation is that both my email addresses are associated with this account, and I can use neither of them to create a new account. This sucks.

Yeah, one email address can only be used for one account. You'll have to ask an admin for assistance there.

Moving to Tech Wishlist and updated the title to reflect the topic change.

The request to allow email-de-association has been filed.
