Switching browsers

SIKSUKR · 05-19-2006, 01:16 PM

I am switching from netscape to explorer browser and need to know my password.I assume that when I try to view new posts,all posts in every thread will come up new.Is there anything I can do to be at my current posts viewed reading of my old browser or do I have to go through and view every post?Any help would be appreciated.

If you forgot your password you can reset it here: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/login.php?do=lostpw

The information on new posts, etc. is stored on the server. When you log in on another computer or browser your new posts list will be accurate. Many members access the forum from different computers (work-home) and the new posts list works fine.

The only thing stored in a cookie on your computer/browser is your login information so you don't have to login on each visit.

Don't switch to Internet Explorer, instead switch to FireFox!
