Well, it appears that I may have been wrong. I didn't have to go through the registration process. All I did was type in the password and user name that I've been using all this time. But I just learned from MarieD that it didn't recognize her name and password. It's possible that it has something to do with the fact that I'm the admin, but that is not the name and password I use when I log into the Admin area, so, technicallym I'm not the admin under that user name. Thinking about it now, I do remember that I actually registered several years ago. If others did not register, but just typed in a user name and password into the login area, the forum would remember what they typed in, but they wouldn't really be registered users.Like I said, this is a feature I never had to use before with this forum, so I don't know the details on how it works.
