GMC Account issues

I tried to change my email associated with my GMC account, and then it sent me an email to validate the new address. Unfortunately when I try to validate it says "This user does not need to be validated" When I try to post or send a message, it of course notifies me that I do not have the permissions to do so and has a link to re-send validation email. So for the time being, no word from me on the GMC :) I contacted a mod and hopefully I can get this worked out
