Hello,

I recently change my email address that was registered with vBulletin.com and vBulletin.org, so I updated it on vBulletin.com, but since I'm showing up as unlicensed on this site, I realized I need to do it here, as well. However, everytime I attempt to access my User CP, I receive the following error:

Boss-Hog, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Why in the world would I be unable to access my User CP in order to update my email address so I can show up as licensed? Thanks in advance for the help.

Send a PM to an Admin asking them to modify the email for you.

It's working now...please disregard.

Hmm, this is an unfortunate effect of a change made a week or two ago (to stop spammers just registering and then posting porn links in their profile) - I have reversed the change so you should be ok.

OK, I changed my email address on here, which matches what's on vBulletin.com and clicked the link sent to that email to confirm that it's valid, yet I'm still showing up here as unlicensed. Any ideas?

Nevermind...this is (hopefully) why:

Please be patient, the 'license status' update may take up to an hour.
