Thank you all; Consuelo as well as Mav have a handle on the phenom
But forgive me for my unGeeklike ignorance of the ways of Bill Gates. The cause of the problem (Father, this might be how you got tripped up) is inadvertently hitting "Logout":
Once you have done this the site won't let you back in until you first go to the "login" page, duly log in, then check the "Remember me on each visit" box. Thereafter you will always be logged in until you again hit "Logout"
One side benefit to this thread is that I have finally learned my password. However, I'm still not sure whether my name is dale hileman, dalehileman, of Dale Hileman

helo ppl...
i keep noticing that here this forum or board is being referred to as the new board...why?? what was so particular about the old one? was it better thats why its being missed so much..or what??
We refer to it as the new board because it is new. Nothing special about the old board to make us all nostalgic over it or anything (well, some of us miss Ænigma, but that's a whole nother story). You should know that many of us spent a long time on the old board and many relationships were formed. We fully expect new ones to form on this board, so it's not like we're some closed society that will forever bar folks who weren't on the old board, but just know that it was the old board and this one is the new board. It also happened fairly recently. We may stop calling this the new board sometime in the not so distant future.

> why Anu would pay for forum software, and then not have someone around to watch over it... A cynical marketing guru replies: Anu's prime interest is clearly in the overall website, which is where most of his energy is focussed. Having an active board makes for a website that's *much more highly rated by the google algor(e)ithym, since it is highly active and change is a Good Thing... and every time we post a link it creates extra connectivity which is also a Good Thing... and it provides a hook to hang google ads on which is a Good Thing since it creates revenue... whereas anything more than cursory adminstration costs serious money which is a Bad Thing...

I guess my main thought was "pay", when there are several very good freeware forumwares out there. and UBB ain't cheap.
not my dollar, I guess.
