I have several queries posted on genforum.com and would like to know if it is possible to change the email address on the queries to my new email address. Can someone help me? >> It would be nice if you could edit you previous posts on forums at GenForum and GenConnect and GenWeb, but that would require user passwords and lots of overhead. If all else fails, go to your previous posts on the forums and respond to your own post with a subject like "MY NEW EMAIL ADDRESS." A lot of people use a free web based email address like hotmail.com for their postings. You can access this email box regardless of your ISP. You can also check your Hotmail mailbox using Outlook Express. Even if you change your ISP, your email address on your posts remains valid. The only real monkey-wrench in this method is if Microsoft eventually decides to charge for Hotmail mail boxes. The other problem is if some disgusting people get hold of your address and fill your box porno crap. Hotmail finally created some user controls over these types of spammers. Gary
