For some reason, suddunly, I have been being logged on as guest. I can't access my mail... I am in some twilight zone existance... It is a strange existential experience. I expect Rod Sterling to begin anouncing in his monotone the start of an episode... I keep looking in the mirror, I am still me? I feel like the little kid from that movie, who falls into the telivion... (we're here!) MAX! Reach into the monitor and snatch me back! HEEELLLLPPPP!
Yours In the One Big Union... if not for the moment in Mudcat...

Yes spaw there is a plugo-ma-tic!

If you click on the membership link at the top of the page and resubmit your details will you get you cookie back?

...or put cookie in the filter box and set the age box to one year and hit refresh, lots of lost cookie threads will appear
good luck

No, please do not resubmit membership information.

Larry, I answered your question in the Help Forum, which is where people should ask technical help questions (not here). It's a simple matter of logging out and resetting your cookie - There are logout/login (cookie reset) links in Membership, in the QuickLinks, and in the FAQ. Full instructions are in the FAQ under "membership."

Ooops sorry Joe, I just read one of the other threads where you say "please don't resubmit...."

Nope, not an emetic, Mr. Red, but close - we call it "The Purge." If people follow my Standard Login Instructions in the FAQ (under technical advice - membership & registration), they'll solve most cookie problems.
