Gmail addresses?

[Sahara]

When I registered with the Ledge some time ago I was using an oceanfree address -- since then I've dropped that address and have switched to Gmail, but when I've tried to change the address on my profile I'm told I can't.
Same happens with my backup Hotmail address.

Any ideas?

i think the problem is you can't use any "free" email accounts to sign up for the ledge. i couldn't use my gmail account either - i'm using my school email. do you have an email acct through your school that you could use?

I don't, unfortunately, none of the options I've tried have worked, unfortunately...

Any ideas, mods?

I lurked on The Ledge for years (literally) because I didn't have a normal email account- only hotmail. Marty was actually very helpful to me once I got the right kind of email address, but it's not something they'll budge on, I'm pretty sure.

You can still sign-on and participate, right? I will be bummed if you can't, Sahara.

You're so sweet!
Of course I can, it's just a thing that if anyone sends me an email to the address I have listed, I'll have to wade through 80+ spam messages a day to find it!
Why so many people think I'm interested in hardcore pornography and viagra I'll never know....

gmail is awesome. You'll love it it takes some getting used to, though.

Gmail is indeed fantastic!

I've stopped looking at my old Oceanfree account altogether now -- still no move on this Gmail thing, no?

By the way, what email addresses are acceptable?
