One thing I've noticed since our new software additions, is that sometimes I have trouble logging in now..hmmmmm.....after I enter my name and password, it will say 'Thank you for logging in Laurie S., you will be re-directed' (okay I can't remember exactly what that says ;-)) , and my name will appear on the active users list below, yet at the top of my screen the 'Welcome, Laurie S.' with my private messages detail does not appear- it's still the log in boxes. I have to close the site, re-open it, log in again, then everything's okay.
Anyway, I'm not trying to issue a complaint here, it's not like it's a major inconvenience or anything, just an observation..I was wondering if anybody else had noticed that lately...

Actually, when I start to type 'T' (for Thom, obviously) I get a drop down menu of what windows guesses to be the word/name that I'm looking for. I then choose 'Thom_Serveaux' which then appears in the 'username ' box, the I type in my password and press enter. Nothing unusual in that, to be sure, but then I get the 'ol 'you have input an invalid username/password' message. Yet if I click on the 'HalloweenForum.com' button at the upper left hand corner, I get re-directed ti the message boards' home page, and over to the right, it says 'Welcome Thom_Serveaux' all spelled properly and all. Like you said Laurie, not anything major, just weird...
