Hi all,
I was just wondering if my boyfriend wants to create an account on here using our same email address will that be a problem? I want to ask this before I create his account cause I don't want any problems.

This is a very good question but i would think that probaply you can't because the admins and comunity leaders want to make sure that the two accounts belong to two different people. By having the same email address probaply wouldn't work.
But it is easy for your boyfriend to create an email account for free. Hotmail, yahoo and google seam to be the most popular. But this is a very interesting issue. Couples who share the same email address how they would create an account.
Look forward to see the answer to that.

Well, I'd have to do some research on this but I'm not even sure that it is possible to use the same email address anymore because of how we now verify accounts here on the Zone. Every account has to be verified by clicking on a link in an email and I'm not sure that the site will accept the same email address being used for that so as Nikos says, you may well be best to use a separate email address for him. Plenty of free ones to be had so that's no big problem.

I'm not completely sure on that, I'll look into it for you but that's what I think for now.

Dan.

Dan is correct. Your boyfriend will need to use a different email address.

Thank you for clarifying that Chris. I thought that was the case.

a lot of isps will let you have up too five e-mail addresses so you can both have separate e-mail addresses.

Yes, I have two e-mail addresses on my ISP. I give one to friends and use the other one when I am ordering things online or writing to some type of business.

Another free site to get an email account is www.care2.com I like that one! Your email is free there! The best thing is that you don't have to varify a picture when you sign up!

Oh cool I'll try that site out in the near future sounds like a great site for me. All these other sites I've tried: yahoo, AOL, they both have that verification picture thingy that frustrates me. I mean I don't always have anybody sighted that could look at the stupid thing and tell me what's in the damn pictures so I'm like why can't I for once do this without anybody's help for goodness sake? I'm lucky I even got past hotmail cause at least with hotmail you can hear the little audio and type in what's in the picture code. But even the audio can be tough to hear at times you'd have to blast the volume on the speaker to hear really what it's saying.

Oops I made a mistake on AOL they have the audio too was just thinking about that I tried it before I had to verify my new address. Besides yahoo another site has that picture code that somebody sighted has to read I forget what it is.
