Steve, bloody gremlins I tried both user names and it chased me, just tried the old id and it has let me in.
The reason I changed was that I can not receive the pm's, someone suggested that it may have been the full stop and commer in the name that was corrupting, so soft ar*e removed them.
Just noticed that I have logged in on the old user name but new one shows on top of page.
Thanks for the reply.
Brian
