Hi Rudy,

Give me your instructions please. How can I change my password?

Click on "My Controls" at the top right of the screen (should be in bold). From the "Menu" pane/box on the left, pick the last option "Change Password". And there you are.

Something must have gone whacky with your cookies. Even for me usually once a week or once per 2 weeks when I join the site it doesn't remember me and I have to re-login. That never happened before, since the new s/w though.. they messed around with the cookies and something still isn't quite right leading to these occasional problems.

FWIW - same problems with cookies, but not with new posts. I have noticed that there is definite interference between Hotmail / MSN and this site with cookies. Often, if I log onto my Hotmail account and then spawn a new browser to open an E60.net page then I am "logged out" of E60.net. This also happens if I log out of Hotmail explicitly, thus deleting the Hotmail cookie.

I haven't gone to the extent of monitoring the actual cookies (after all, it takes 30 seconds to re-log in), but something's definitely happening.

Okay, I'm not crazy after all...

Last night, I was not on the forums at all after around 10:30pm or 11:00pm. This morning, at around 9:10am, the main forum page said:
Welcome back; your last visit was: Today, 06:58 AM

No way was I online between 11pm last night and 9am this morning. Why would that happen? My computer was on all night but there were no browser windows open or active. I don't subscribe to the RSS feeds, etc.

Anyone have any theories? The only thing I'm still looking at is whether or not my BlackBerry is doing something automatically in the background that's causing the board software to think I logged in.

Lomag, if it's possible, I really would like to see if you show my account logged in overnight between the times I listed...

Hey Rudy,

It looks like you do have something pulling an RSS feed. Your last access last night (rather this morning) was around 00:50 AM, then we got just one hit below at 6:58 AM then you wokeup at 9:13 AM.

Thanks Lomag. I knew it had to be something...

I'll check things out a bit more and see where the culprit is.

Can you do me a favor and PM me the IP address? It'll help me determine if the machine is at my home, my office, or if it's my BlackBerry...
