Honestly I can't see the point. It seems to me (and I might be wrong). That anyone can change the info whether rightly or wrongly that is already there.
Oh perhaps they are running out of disk space?
No room for new stuff?

Maybe one day.
And no I can't send stuff to CowboyNeal. because I don't use Outlook. Oh yes I can. Sorry it's just a copy and paste away.
Comin at ya cowboy.
Yes the parent is correct. Best comment so far in my humble opinion. Thanks for expaining how it works. But I want to be a bit off topic here. Sorry.
Rant starts.
What the hell is this site doing?
I sign up to slashdot one of my favourite websites ever. But I can't post from work because of the proxy. So OK I am at home on leave. I fill in the form and get a mail back. I am a member, they send me a password. That's all fine.
But when I try to change the password all I get is a nearly blank page. Yes it has the links etc on the left side. But no way to change the password to something I can rmember. like i*%WhOLD#0 or some such easy one.
So I try to contact the slashdot team.
But I am told I am not logged in. However I seem to be. I have logged in 3 times so far I think.
The FAQ just sends me back to the above mentioned nearly blank page.
OK OK I am an idiot who shouldn't be allowed to post.
But I should be allowed to change my password.
At least
