My account contact -details shows a field for Email, but no email information of my account is shown. Also, in case I want to change my email account for Physics Forums account, how and exactly where is this done?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Go to "MY PF", then go to "Contact details". The first thing you see is "email".

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued.
