Yep I've been on an SE account ever since I got my token in 2009. I'm pretty sure it's compulsory for everyone now? I've checked the POL email externally and I don't appear to have any new messages there anyway.

My major problem is my time zone, to speak to a chat agent I'll have to wait 'til 1am local time for US support to open. I guess I should write support an email.
