Ok, it was turned on after all. I had no idea such an option existed, so there is no way I could have turned it on. Did they turn in on by default when they added the feature?
What information do you need. Neither my account nor my e-mail address have been compromised.
My problem is that for the last couple of year I have not been receiving forum notifications when replays are made to topics/threads I have subscribed to. You all have tried everything you can think of on your side, so I thought I would try a couple of different temporary e-mail address (a different one from my current provide, and one from a different provider) to see if that can help shed some light on the problem. Eventually I probably want to switch back to my primary.
If I understand you correctly if for any reason I want to change my e-mail from say my primary to my work or to my backup/secondary, I have to jump through a bunch of hoops? I have never run into a situation like this even with sites that interface with my financial institution. Aren't we going a little overboard with security for an online game? What is the rational behind the extra hoops?
