I recently had to get a new email and I was wondering where the option to change it is because when I check the preferences it doesn’t seem to give me the option

This [post](http://community.frame.work/t/how-to-update-your-username/299) has instructions on changing your username. As for your email, if you created the account by connecting to a google account, then you will either have to change the email associated with the google account, or contact support to see if they can unlink the google account from your forum account. If you are just using an account with an email address, I believe that you can change the email in the same place that you would change your username, but my account is linked to a google one, so I’m not certain.

I checked with the admins; to change your email, just reach out to support and they can update it. Support can also change your username for you, or you can follow the guide @Azure linked if you’d like to have it changed sooner.

@Azure, I think that link is out dated, when I go to my preferences, I don’t have the pencil next to the username and it won’t let me change my username.

Can confirm, seems that it is no longer possible to change your username in the account preferences screen, I would recommend sending a message to support if you wish to do so. They will hopefully be able to help, or re-enable our ability to do it ourselves if they didn’t intend to take it away!
