Discourse dropped an email address from my preferences today

I had 2 email addresses configured with Discourse.
One of them is the address that I prefer to receive notifications.

At 13:19 (UTC-3)I received a notification from Discourse in the address I like.
At 13:53 (UTC-3) I received a notification in the address I used to keep as secondary on Discourse.

I checked my preferences on Discourse and noticed one of the email address got removed.

What happened between those 2 messages?
Is this a bug in Discourse?

I can look into what happened here. I can see that on September 11th (the day you posted this), there are some log messages which indicate an email address change. Both are still connected to your account. Did you make any changes to your account in FAS, by any chance?

I see that both of the email addresses are there now — did the one that was removed reappear, or did you re-add it?

No.

I re-added my primary email address here as soon as I realized this had been modified.
I did that before I created this post at around 15:30 (UTC-3).

Hmmm, okay, yeah, from the log I can see when you added the new one. And I can see earlier where it switched – and don’t see any errors from around that time. I will have to ask Discourse support to see if they can find the cause.
