What actually enables you to know it is the same person creating a second account though? I could create a second account through my work internet (so different IP address) and use a different email address (I've got lots). Yes you could probably tell it was someone in Perth, Western Australia, but other than that, would you know it was me?

I think it would be a shame to lose Steve after all these years, I understand fully that changing the thousands of posts is out of the question but I think it is a shame that we can't just ban his old account and let him create another. Sure, it is breaking the rule, but sometimes things can surely be bent a little?

Read again, about what changing 15K posts entails, crashing the server.

Wanna know what's funny? I will MEET this Pete/John guy, this Saturday, as he and his partner fly into Indiana, to attend my good friend Michelle's wedding.

I know it's random, within the context of the thread, but my "Ledgies collide" thread, has literally linked me up with about a dozen Ledgies. And Pete/John will be added to the list this weekend. I've also met Steve, working with the band he tours with, on the road.

The Ledgies that I met here, a decade ago...most of them don't post here anymore, but a few of us became lifelong friends, and hang out 4-5 times a year, driving 2-4 hours to do so. And I will always be thankful to the Ledge for that.

Pardon my ramble. The Pete/John thing made me pontificate!

I don't know where else to say this but I use a desktop computer and every day for the past 2 weeks this site is logging me out after I leave the page. I never log out of The Ledge. It's forcing me to log back in each time I use it and even when I click the box(Remember me) it still logs me out when I leave each time.

Hey viv, what browser are you using? (Sounds like your cookie enabling has been turned off)... try making sure that's turned on, maybe?

Cookies are enabled and have been. Any other possibilities?

Sometimes clearing everything, the cache and the cookies, can do the trick. But then that will log you out of everything.
