I noticed my PM's were at 100%, went in and cleared a few down, still 100%.
Then I noticed the maximum was showing as 60...
Is this a new policy?

Hmmm... And I see I am now showing as a registered member instead of a contributing member.
Can an admin take a look at how that happened please?

go into your user control settings and : check the following tick boxes: sometimes a wrong one will cause havoc.
I have never seen that feature before :)

Starbase1 may have inadvertently been downgraded, based on information he e-mailed to me earlier today.
He has been advised to PM the admins (who have the power to fix it). I have also posted a message in the staff area.
We'll get Nick back to Contributing status as soon as possible! (Read, once people get home from work.)

Thanks Rigel - I can't PM myself as I am now at 300%+ of the allowed number of messages!

I see him identified as a Contributing Member once more, so that should do it!
Now we just need to wait for the sun to rise in England, heh heh.

That seems to have fixed it, thanks guys!
Now the bad news. It happened when I tried to change my email address, and that did not take - I think there was a brief message about confirming the change from the new address, but no message was received, and just after that my downgrade happened.
Should I try again?

Nothing changed from my doing so it might be some sort of arbitrary bug. Had a couple of unannounced glitches this month.

Argh!
I've been demoted again. And to add to it, the email never came through to confirm a change of email address!

Just to note for the admins:
1. It happened again when I tried to change my email address, if you could enable the new GMX one while fixing my profile that would be appreciated.
Let me know if I can help with testing.
