Wow!?!?! Just tried to log in after a week or so of upgrading my OLD (2009) computer and pro boards not recognizing me. I tried every user name and password combo I have ever used (not just on this forum) and nothing but an acknowledgement that my email address was recognized and my account had already been upgraded, but still would not allow me to log on to the forum or pro boards until I created a new account. So as you guys probably have guessed (DUH) this is still RG or my old user name rgmarsing (big change huh).

Seems to me, if your email was recognized, they could have sent you a new password.....no place to request that?

It's all good. After I finally got on the forum it only took me a few minutes to resurrect my avatar and I'm very happy with my upgrade. It's AMAZING how fast my computer is now with my NEW SAMSUNG 840 250GB solid state drive ($139.00 on sale at Amazon). About 15 to 20 seconds instead of one and a half to two minutes to initial boot up. It is definitely worth a little hassle. Oh and thanks to Bashan (or whichever Admin. for replacing my stars. Been here since 2010 and earned them.)

Glad you got those stars back... hehe. What was the deal, anyway? What impact does upgrading your computer have on login? Is it cookies? Do you have a different OS, browser? I may be going through the same process with upgrading my computer. Just curious..

Yes Mark I not only added a Solid State Drive to replace my old hdd but also upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I'm sure cookies (not our "Cookees") were at least partly if not entirely responsible. I tried to migrate all I could over from my old hard drive, but it still took me 2 days to basically get back to where I was. Still as I mentioned I am glad I did the upgrade. Amazingly faster than before. Thanks JR. I appreciate it.

I just installed a ssd too. I use linux/firefox along with xmarks to keep all my old bookmarks so I had no trouble getting back to where I was with a regular hd.
Only gripe I got now is them damn popup/nag windows. Nagging some one to post when they may have nothing to say is stupid.
