ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Re: Computers and the Internet Password Everytime GRRR!

Not a computer expert so I will try to make sense of this. I reinstalled the oroginal software to my computer to bring it back to it's original condition after having freezeups crashes etc. I then upgraded to Windows XP. Everything is working great. The problem I now have is whenever I come to this site and Mike Holt's I have to log in each time. I also don't get the new post indicators on the topics it just shows everything as being new. I used to just pop in see what was new and post here and there. Now it is a real pain in the rear. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
