Some people (not all) may experience problems each time you close your browser and come back to the forum of having to log on again even though you selected "remember me".

Not sure the technical stuff behind it but i'm told it should be temporary and after a few days go back to normal.

Our web site has been moved to a new server (lives somewhere else) and due to our domain name still being stored in your browser with a different IP number (address), it will take a few days to filter through, or something like that.

If you don't have lots of login info stored in your browser for other web sites, you can go into your browser options, delete all cookies and that should fix the problem though it clears your browser memory so not a good idea if you log into lotsof other sites.

OK Mr Smartypants, for those of us not PC literate, Where do we find tools.
By the way Mr Handyman, how's your worms? lol.

If you have a problem logging in like I did and cant find the tools menu like I cant, dont dispair it may be an AOL thing not to have tools at the top of the page, but if you go to start, control panel, internet options, you will see delete cookies, click that and hey presto.
