I just tried to update my email and mobile email addresses in my profile, but when I checked the addresses in one of my standing alerts the old addresses still showed up. Then when I went back to look at my profile, the old addresses were there too, so the request to update the profile is somehow not taking effect.

You may have edited your [forums profile](http://discussions.flightaware.com/profile.php?mode=editprofile) instead of you’re [FlightAware profile](http://flightaware.com/account/manage/)? Unfortunately they’re not yet integrated.

The problem appears to occur when you edit a single field and try to update the profile without tabbing out of the field you are wanting to change.

I experienced something similar.

As a new member I was able to register, set alerts and navigate within FlightAware using the Opera browser, but when I returned to edit my profile page to set my home airport and log my text alert info, it would not take.

I switched to Chrome and the changes took instantly.

Just thought I’d throw that into the archives for those who come after.

I had 4 flights being tracked and one changed it’s number. When I switched to the new one and redisplayed “my flightaware” all 4 OLD flights came up. I tried multiple times without success, thus my post on this forum.  
Any ideas??  
Thanks
