My husband is slowly becoming converted to mudcats. He has asked if he can post things , but I do not want him posting on my cookie, as he opinions are not mine, so how does he get a cookie too???

He can join in his own name. If you're sharing a machine you'll have to reset your cookie when you change users. Or you can use a 'family' cookie and each sign your name to your own messages.

kara - you can each set up an account. when you are done 'catting, then logout. Your husband then can login with his own cookie. it does mean you have to log in and log out, but gives you your own "name"

Go to the Quick Links, click on the pull down menu and choose Log Out, then he can go to the same place and choose Log in and vice versa.

Welcome, Kara's hubby!

that all went very well until he hit submit and then it said that our email address is already in the data base. But we share an email address; so what can we do now, does he have to have his own email address to get his own cookie.

Set up another e-mail account thru one of the freebies like Juno or Yahoo........or just fake it.

I was personally hoping this thread was more about Caitrin's cookie recipe, but alas, all I can find is a mention of cookies and log and........hey...PECAN LOG COOKIES.........lemmee see, I got some pecans.....

Kara--

What browser you usin'? I don't use IE, but I know with Netscape, you can set up separate user profiles that have their own email settings for Messenger, their own bookmark files, their own cache...and their own cookie file. So all's you'd have to do is close Netscape, reopen it, select the other profile, and come on back to the 'Cat.

If you are using Netscape, go to the Netscape menu off your start button, then Utilities, then User Profile Manager to create another profile. That's for Wintel boxes anyway. I'm pretty sure you can do it on a Mac, but I don't know how.

depends on what version of netscape to. I believe that feature is only on 4.5 and above.

Actually, M-Man, close, but I'm pretty sure 4.anything will do it, not just 4.5. I do networking support for dorm rats, and I've been setting 'em up for separate profiles for quite a while now. But we were installing the Communicator Professional package--maybe below 4.5 versions of the Personal version don't do it.

Well, Joe Offer told us we would each need our own e-mail address, so we went to hotamil for a free second box.

my wife, Ferrara, & I have done separate email accounts, Windows profiles(custom desktops!), and Netscape profiles....she has her own bookmarks, cookies...etc...it requires only a few seconds to close Netscape and re-open hers..a bit longer to totally re-log into Windows, but it works just fine!..(we actually PAY for a 2nd email account at our ISP, but any free email account would work..)

You can usually also register an email address as [e-mail]--it's nonexistent of course but I use it all the time to register for sites that I don't want to receive email from (not that Mudcat spams of course).

You don't need a cookie to post here.

For a variation of the original question...
I've got two computers that I get on Mudcat from. At work I've got a cookie and am registered as Homeless. At a friend's, I just get on as a guest. Is there a way I can register as Homeless on the second machine too?

You should be able to. I log on from one of my computers at work and my computer at home. both have cookies in my name. Just follow the quick link to "reset cookie" and follow the instructions.

...you don't need a cookie to mail anonymous threats to the FBI, either...or to write graffiti on walls...or to call talk radio stations from a pay phone and rant...or to wear a mask on Halloween and act like you'd NEVER do otherwise.

G'day,
1. There is no problem using 2 computers with the same Mudcat identity. As jeffp said - that's exactly what I do.

2. You shouldn't have to go to any great lengths to get another email address - your ISP probably allows you to set up aliases - e.g. if your email is [e-mail] you can create an alias [e-mail]. Although they are really the same address, they look different to web sites (such as Mudcat). Go to your provider's home page & look for details.

Cheers,
Alan
