Here are some more thoughts from a demented mind in Central Florida:

I did a look under here and then under Internet and Computers, but I'm not sure I have the correct answer I need.

Through IE, I'm able to log into here just fine. However, on Windows XP with Firefox Ver. 1.5.0.3, it won't let me log in with my password - and yes, it is the correct name and password, with caps sensitive in all the right places. What am I missing? I do note that my version seems to show under "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3", whatever that means. Do I need something for this sucker to run on XP? Why just this site?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Why yes, I am both a musician and a lawyer. Thanks for asking. :)

Try clearing your cache in Firefox. I've had this happen as well. I don't recall the exact fix.

Yep, that would do it. Wow - Firefox had cookies for my old AND current password. I bet that's what screwed it up. Thanks, Zed brothers! :)

Zeds: I've noticed that some of the threads just won't die. Is there an unofficial lifespan to these things? How long since the last reply is to late? (Yes, I am asking this question to give you an opportunity to rant on the topic.) ;)
