If you are already a registered member, when you go into your user control panel and change your email address here (http://www.3-3-3.org/forum/profile.php?do=editpassword), the forum will immediately change you from the usergroup of being a full registered member to being a user awaiting email confirmation. It will continue to be that way until you confirm your email address by way of clicking the link that is sent to you automatically from the forum. If you are using the default titles of the forum then your title will change to "awaiting email confirmation". But otherwise you will retain your custom title while the forum awaits for an email confirmation from you. When you are awaiting email confirmation, your view of the board and posting abilities will be limited. You will still be able to edit your profile. Your name will not be displayed on the Members's List (http://www.3-3-3.org/forum/memberlist.php) either. If you find that the email you used was not correct, then you can change it to a different one. If you change it to a different one, the newest version in the records is the only one that needs to be confirmed.
Sometimes you never receive your confirmation email and it needs to be resent. It would be nice if there was a "resend validation email" feature, but I've only seen that on Invision Power Board. In order to achieve the same effect here, you would have to edit your email and password twice: first to something fictitious (email@3-3-3.org would work), and then again to the original desired email account.
