  I applied for a new account ‘scjbiz’ username and but mistyped my email account as (email visible only to moderators and staff) . So I couldn’t receive the activation email. Then I reapplied for an account using (email visible only to moderators and staff) but couldn’t use ‘scjbiz’ because it was already ‘taken’. SO, I used ‘scjbiz1’. I cannot change either account because my email address is already taken in one and my username in the other.

  Hi there,

  I see you’re at least able to log into the scjbiz account, which means we don’t need to make any manual changes from our end which would require a bunch of extra verification :)

  Do you have another email address? If you don’t, please create a new throwaway email (hotmail, Gmail or any other webmail service would be fine), then log into scjbiz1 and change that account’s email to the new address. Make sure to verify that change.

  Once you’ve verified, your actual email address will be released, so at that point log back into scjbiz, change this account’s email, and verify it.

  Once you’re sure this account is on the correct email, you can then delete the scjbiz1 account if you won’t be using it.

  Let me know if you have any questions, or if you run into trouble with this process.
