How do I change my main e-mail address to john.kane47@yahoo.co.uk and take my points with me?Thanks if you can help,regards,John
Hey John,
If you’d like to do this you need to sign up for the new Yahoo! ID and then email us (y_answrs_team_uk@yahoo.co.uk) and we can migrate your points.
The down side is we can’t migrate your questions or answers, so the choice is up to you.
It’s up to you,
Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers team
Just a question thats been bugging me for ages, why when I go to the Yahoo! Ireland page (www.yahoo.ie) does news,sport etc from Britian appear? Initially when this page was set up, news from Ireland automatically appeared but this doesn’t happen anymore.
I have yet to be told what a blog is
Hi, I was reading the first couple of comments and wanted to know more information about the point transfer as it is something that I may consider.
When the Y!A team says “The down side is we can’t migrate your questions or answers, so the choice is up to you.”
Does that mean that we lose our best answer percentage and the number of questions we answered?
Harry
P.S Sorry if sounds like a silly question.
Very sensible post.
Will be useful for a lot of new members, hopefully it will remain on the main section of the site for a few weeks!
Wait, so if we want to switch our Y!A profile to another email, we lose our best answer percentage plus all our questions/answers?
What about the TC badges?
Regards
Harry
When I was recently switched over from Verizon to Fairpoint Communications, I lost touch with my original Yahoo! Answers account. I was up to Level Six with over 15,398 points and about 78 Contacts. All gone. Is there any way you can migrate all those points from my original Yahoo! Answers account over to my new one? The new one is under the christopher_grasse@yahoo.com e-mail address. Thank you for whatever help you can give me in reclaiming all those lost points!
Sent with positive energies from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. I am 65, so I worked hard for those points, miss them, and would sure like them back somehow…
Awesome! You helped me heaps.
It’s hard to believe that someone on a Yahoo! Team has not yet spotted my original question about locating my original Yahoo! Answers “Chris Computer” account which was up to Level Six and finding a way to migrate all those points to my present account which is under the name of christopher_grasse@yahoo.com I keep hoping for the miracle of reclaiming all those points I earned which were up, well past 14,000 when I got shut out of it by virtue of being switched over from Yahoo!/Verizon to FairPoint Communications here (effective 31 January 2009) in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. I still keep believing someone at Yahoo! is going to spot this comment and help me get all my points back. I believe in miracles. Thanks, guys! – C.G.

Yes this is possible, please email us, the Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers team on y_answrs_team_uk@yahoo.co.uk
