    I'd like to throttle the geniuses  that created this system. I can't even get in to change my email address.

    Thatshould have happened year ago was cancel all the dreamweaver account and make the Dreamweaver folks reapply or they should have been combined under the Adobe sign In

    I need to switch my email address to comcast other wise when I switch off Kimbanet for good I no longer will be able to go to forums and they will not know I am elible for reduced update rate to Web Premium rate.  @#$% Adobe!

    Do you have an older style Adobe ID that is just a name? Or do you have your email address as your Adobe ID?

    In either case, only the email address should change, the rest (screen name, history) will stay the same. If you have an old style ID I believe the name you sign in with will stay the same. If you have a newer one, then the sign in name will change to your new email address.

    My email address was set up back before the Macromedia merger. I set up using email address and have a Nick name as you can see I use the nickname. because if I use the email address it switch to the old macromedia Account. Which I have been try to merge or get rid of.

    My current email address which I will write so its not recognizable as an email address:

    pjones1xxxxxatxxxxxkimbanetxxxxxdotxxxxxcom

    I am switching to :

    pjonescetxxxxxatxxxxxcomcastxxxxxdotxxxxxnet

    Remove all the x's

    The name I use is Phillip Jones

    The forums just pick up your name/nickname/email address from your Adobe ID when you sign in. There is no control over any of those things from within the forums. If you are having trouble making the change you will need to go through Customer Service. I don't have access to your personal info at Adobe.com.


    Okay I'l see if I loose 15 years of history so be it.
