Second, would someone kindly restate--as if they were speaking to a 7 year-old--the logging in/logging out auto & manual that was mentioned on the last page or this one? What is the relationship among those options--what're the causes & effects?

I will try to help you...without going into relationships, causes and effects...

Go to your USER CP and EDIT OPTIONS and make sure the two 'cookies' options are set as yes.

There you will see these two items, which should be set as bolded:

Login, Cookies & Privacy

Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies) yes no

Browse board with cookies?
Clicking yes will use cookies to keep your id for this session. Clicking no will send it through the links. (Selecting no may cause problems when sharing links with people behind the same proxy as you) yes no

To manually log yourself out:
1. On any B-D page, at the top right, press Home button.
2. At the bottom of the Home page, press the Log Out button to manually log yourself out.

The way to log in when you come back is, at the bottom of the Home page, enter your publicly displayed name and password.

Dininziliel, perhaps your real problem is that you need to follow any of the several links to the old forum posted earlier in this thread. Login and go to your user configuration there ("my profile", then View/Update profile) and see that you have a Login name and a publicly displayed (PD) name. The Login name was the name you used to have to use when you logged in, then gave a password. The PD name is the name that showed up beside your posts.

In the NEW forum, you no longer use the Login name. At the bottom of the Home page, where it says, "Login with username and password" enter your publicly displayed name (the old name you posted under under the old forum) and password (the password you used to login with under the old forum).

Maybe this information will be enough to get you back to your old, dead self! With your old, dead post count....
