Same or very similar problems at both sites. 2 weeks ago I upgraded my SBR password and changed the email address. I created an account here with the same screen name and same details I used at SBR. The SBR account automatically deactivated and it wouldn't accept the reactivation code that I received by automated email. I can sign in there but I can't post, give or receive points, send PMs etc. All I can do is change the 1 line phrase under the screen name. SBR aren't responding to Contact us or email. I tried creating changing the details back but it didn't help. A week later I created a new SBR account but that wouldn't activate either. I strongly advise against changing passwords or email addresses.
The account here is also 'deactivated'. When I sign in here it says to sign in with the original account and link it. Yeah, good luck with that. Not a big issue to me as i'm a broke dik but it's a heads-up warning for you SBR regulars.
