The way the board knows who you are when you re-connect is by a "cookie" in your internet folder. It then matches that cookie against the boards internal log file and if the two jive, it maintains your logged in status. If you access the site from several locations, like I do as well, the board would see the cookie not matching the internal log and prompt for you to log in. It will work until you try to connect from a different computer. If you do have problems, one thing you can do (and is good overall internet practice) is to clean your cache periodically. This will often speed up performance for a little while and can also correct wierd erros that happen from time to time with most sites.

Chris, With your registered account, you should be able to use that account from any machine. What happens when you try to use the same logon name and password from 2 different locations??

Thanks,

John
