Description

When the user changes email address in the change profile page, they are sent
back to the main menu and the old email address is still displayed. It would
be nice to update this. (or better yet, use their name rather than their
email).

2 ways we could make this a bit slicker, quite easily. 1) auto-login the user
after an email change with the new email address and 2) warn that this change
will take place after they log-out, so that they know the change has indeed
been made. I think the problem is that the email address is stored in the
cookie, hence when you go to the main menu, the old email address appears, b/c
that's what's read from the cookie.

Bob's original comments about this:

One minor little bug I noticed while trying to break the system. If you
change your email address, it works but the system seems to think you are
still logged in as your old email address. The header will be addressed
to the old registration, and if you try to become certified and enter your
email as the new one you will be rejected and will need to enter the old
email. This could be fixed by requiring a logout and then a fresh login,
or it could be more elegant.
