I don't know why this is happening (sorry) but my old posting name is coming up when I post. This is not the name I am using anymore, and so what happened, and how do I fix this. Thanks.

Sometimes after you change your name, your old name automatically fills in where it has your "Name" on the Posting form; it has something to do with cookies not changing yet. Or the space will be empty. You just need to erase the old Name at the top of the "Enter your Post" form, and put your new name and password in to the appropriate boxes.
Should solve the problem until your cookies are renewed. I'm not sure how long that takes, but it shouldn't take long.

The dr-bob.org cookies that contain name/pw are stored on your computer and you can clear them yourself.
Depends on which browser you are using. There are instructions for IE, Firefox and Netscape in the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#cleanup
(The question is re: the yellow new indicators, but the same steps should clear the name/pw cookie, AFAIW) After you do that, the boxes should be blank to start with, but should retain your name/password the next time you type them in. (I think you have to shut down your browser and restart again for the change to take effect....can't remember.)
Let me know if you need more help, and I'll do my best :-)

Thanks, I have fixed the problem, and though people are going to know I was OzLand and changed my name, it's okay for now. We shall see though.
