How do I change the email address on yahoo answers?
I'm not particularly computer literate, so please forgive me if this is a really silly question!
When I got married I set up a new email address in my married name, but I carried on using the old email address as well for business purposes. My Yahoo Answers is linked to the old email address.
I now want to transfer everything to the email address that is in my married name. When I tried to access Yahoo Answers using my new email address, it set me up a new yahoo account - I don't want this. I want to continue using Yahoo with my current user name and to keep my current status.
I simply want to change the email address that the account is linked to. Is it possible to do this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Gerry, thanks for the reply, but I don't understand what it means! As I said, I'm not at all computer literate. What is a disposable email?
If I change my email address and password on Yahoo, it tries to set me up with a new Yahoo Answers account. I don't want a new one - I want to keep the old one, where I have built up points etc. Surely there is a way to do this without me having to start from scratch?
