I went to see my btc address on the main site and it wasn't there but there was a "Click here to deposit" link. I clicked on it and then i got this message
Warning: Read this before making a deposit to your account
Your PIN is required to make purchases, withdraw funds from your account, and make important changes to your account. If you forget your PIN, or give it away to a phishing site impersonating Silk Road, any funds you deposit to your account will be irretreivable.
Before depositing any funds, you should change your PIN and password on your SETTINGS page. If you are unable to change them because you've already forgotten them, you must create a new account and try again.
Once you are ready, send your deposit to this address:
**BITCOIN ADDY WAS HERE********************
WTF? is this normal/ it says its my 1st deposit?
-
yes its normal, it comes up if you are making your first deposit, or haven't deposited in awhile. Its to remind you to change your pin/password before depositing.
Once you make a deposit, the screen will go back to normal and you can change your bitcoin address. I had this happen before making my first deposit.
It was addressed in one of DPR posts, I think the one entitled 'a few small things' or something like that.

Thanks. its not my first deposit but i haven't use a btc email address in a long time. just coins i get off a vendor he just puts in my account. was thinking it was weird asking me to change password and pin. and because it wasn't like that a day ago.
but thanks, you eased my mind

Or am I just someone who knows how to use the search function, and put that knowledge to use when I had the same issue? ;)

ok - am I really the only one who is having this problem with the update?
on the account page it used to say:
"to deposit bitcoins, send them to this address:"
followed by a BTC address as well as a link saying "get new address"
but now, for me, there is no such option.
there's only the new link saying "click here to make a deposit"
clicking the link leads to a "first_deposit" URL and displays the new "warning" paragraph
- the link to account settings in this paragraph is dead because there is a mistake in the URL
(should be: silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/settings --but instead says: silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/account/settings)
- the provided BTC address no longer accompanies an option to generate a new address
I'm assuming/hoping these are just some bugs to do with the transition
I don't even know why I'm getting the "first_deposit" message because
I've had this account for a good while now and have deposited BTC many times, including very recently
not bitching though, just looking for help, seeing if I'm the only one/if Admin is aware of any anomalies 8)
Thanks for mentioning the broken link. The link shows up instead of the normal deposit address with the "get new address" link when a user has never made a deposit to their account, or hasn't in several months. It's there to remind people to remember their PIN and passphrase who haven't deposited or haven't in a while. After you deposit to that address on the warning page, you will see the normal view with the "get new address" link again.
