I sent some btc to my old address and never recieved them? Anyway to fix this? Were you not able to send them to old addresses before
-
My understanding is that if you generate a new address on SR you can't send btc to the old one anymore.
This is bad news for me :(
This is the exact reason I came on to the forums was to look for an answer to this. I sent bitcoins, then changed address, then sent more bitcoins. At least the second send was the larger of the two.
Still sad making.

Old address where? On SR? A bitcoin client?

Incorrect; old Bitcoin addresses are still valid, though the transactions do seem to get to lost in the SR system from time to time. In order to negate this, always get a "New Address" before transferring any Bitcoin to your account.

Contact SR Support with the date, time, amount of Bitcoin and the Bitcoin address they were sent to and they'll credit your account when they find the missing transaction.

Sorry meant to come back and update sooner.
Both of my transactions actually ended up coming through in a fine and timely manner without SR staff having to become involved.
But thanks for your reply!

How long did it take from the time you sent the funds until they showed up? I sent some last night at midnight, and now it is almost 7PM and they still aren't there.

Less than 10 hours for both transactions. Though, it very well could be a different situation than yours. Technically the address I sent to was still valid at the time of the transaction.
The scenario played out like this: Sent first transaction to valid SR address > Requested new SR address > Sent second transaction to new address. All of this happened within less than 5 minutes.
It might be a different situation if you changed address, then sent to the now old/expired address.
Sorry for any confusion.
