i am known by thereelstory AND thereelstory1 because for some reason my computer randomly signs me out from time to time. when i try to log in the password reset doesnt work. what am i doing wrong. ? i have tried to even paste as a last resort. it bothers me because i have been here for a while and want to have the same tag so people will become familiar with whom i am and not discount me for a rook(although i have alot to learn) please help me with this concern so i may have my old handle back.:(

appreciate it and appreciate all the knowledge.

ps i am currently on thereelstory1 but want to be on the original.

Are you saying that once you are signed out, your original password no longer works to sign back in? That is strange. Stranger still is that the password reset does not work; it should email you a new random password.

I will manually reset thereelstory and email the new password to the email address it is registered with.

This evening I also had this strange behavoir. I wanted to edit one of my posts. I went to the post and opened the edit window and when I was done and clicked the "edit message" button, I suddenly was logged out and the posting was rejected, because user "anonymous" has no right to edit or delete the post.

I had to login again and then it worked fine for me again.
