When you change the email address in your bbs profile, the bbs deactivates your account and sends a new activation email to the new email address, similar to what you received when you first registered. You will need to follow the directions in this email to re-activate the account, so be doubly sure you enter a valid email address from which you can retrieve your email. These precautions are to assure you have a valid email address listed, otherwise any emails the bbs would send you (notifications of private messages, notifications of posts in subscribed threads, etc.) won't work.

The activation email goes out immediately and normally you should receive it in a minute or two. Should you go an hour or more, please see this thread on the bbs.

Should you need to change your email address again before successfully reactivating your account, just log in with your normal bbs username and bbs password and edit your profile one more time.
