That is really strange! I was logged in under my user id: offdisc. This should point to offdisc@gmail.com , but that was recently changed from mrh@panix.com. Either way, why doesn't the error say anything about that? And why does it care since I already was logged in? How can I fix this?

Mike it's an old system. When you register for the forums it saves your email address as of that time rather than your membership id or member number either of which would probably be better. Anyway, you should be able to fix this be unsubscribing and then resubscribing to the forums you want to join. We are in the process of updating the IIUG Website etc. The main landing pages are already there and the forums are on the list for a round of updates later in the year. Art Art S.

Oh wow --- this is really interesting. This post was sent to ids@iiug.org, and made it to the Forum. So it seems to be an issue specific to the forum Web Page. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Art Kagel > Date: Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 3:26 PM > Subject: Re: Unable to Post to Forum [37224] > > Mike it's an old system.
