Sorry to post this on the general list but I cannot seem to get an alternative name for me from my home PC. I tried to set up another nickname but it just told me my email address was already on the database. I How do I go about it. I'm not in work until after the Fylde fest and I will get withdrawal symptoms if I have to wait until then!!!

Cheers

Go to quick links, use the pull down arrow. Select ReSet Cookie. That should get you to a page where you enter your call name, which should take you to a page to enter your secret password. Then go up to the top and click on the Lyrics etc. That should do it.

Boy, I'll tell ya, our Wyoming chapter (Sorcha and Kat) have learned well. Pene and I couldn't give better advice.
However, Dave, if you still have trouble, click on my name below and send me an e-mail, and I'll talk you through resetting your cookie on your home computer. It brings up an inportant point - we'd like to ask everyone to have only one membership. That saves a lot of confusion. If you have a second membership, let me know, and I'll mark the second one (inactive) so people don't get confused (we can't delete memberships). You can access your Mudcat membership on as many computers as you like. Just go to "Quick Links" or "membership" and click on the reset cookie link. Be sure to go to Membership and log out if you've put your cookie on a computer you won't be using again. You can also use "logout" to delete any corrupted Mudcat cookies that may be on your computer, or if some other Mudcatter has been using your computer and has left your cookie there. If you have one computer at work and one at home and one at Grandma's house, you can access your Mudcat membership from all three computers, and you can leave your cookie on all three computers (unless you're afraid that Grandma will read your personal messages and post vicious flames, masquerading as you, therby defiling your reputation).

Dammit, Grandma, I told you not to do that!

i can't understand how so many people have problems with resetting their cookie... I've reset mine at least fifty times on various computers at work... have to beause they reload the systems every week. I've never had a problem. Thanks to Joe for making it so easy...
