Sure... I'll e-mail you if it doesn't work.

OK, here it goes...

Hey it worked, I'm Kurt now. Actually it's me Chet. Logging back out now. I swear on all that's holy I didn't read your PMs or post anything dumb when logged in as you.

Chet out!

Hey I'm quoting myself pretending to be someone else. Pretty neato eh?

Yeah, don't forget to change your password Kurt. Because I know what it is. [evil laugh]Bwahhahahahahaaa![/evil laugh]

This isn't Sven/Steve congratulating himself on a post is it?

Just kidding, it worked... but I don't understand what changed... Oh well, fingers crossed. Thanks for your help, Chet!

You're welcome. I suspect the problem came about as a glitch from the mass account deletion incident where you had to re-register and then be reunited with your old account. After I deleted the second account, the original was still a no-go so I changed your username and tried it again and logged on no problem. I then changed it back, tried logging in and it worked. So in summary, I have no idea how I fixed it. How's that for self congratulation!

I do remember something about the second account you created was kb58, while the old one was KB58. If I remember correctly, I changed the raw username field in the database table, because I didn't know there was a function to do that in the admin pages.

I'm not going to bother to speculate on how exactly that foobar'd the situation, but I'd bet a dollar that was the root of the problem.

Thanks for figuring this out and solving it, Chet!
