@irish_i_were_british oh really? that's weird. okay, um well first click on your profile (the top right corner.) then click "settings." then, where it says what your email is, push "change" and just retype your email. after you retype it, it should say "verify email" then it should send you a verification email.
remember to make sure you're on the online website! it doesn't work on the app.
if that doesn't work then im sorry, i don't know what else to do. i just tried it and it worked for me, so im not sure. maybe if you're not from the usa it's different? idk, sorry :/
