Hope this is in the right place. I'm about to install a new(er) computer with much better capability than my old one. The shop that sold it to me seemed to think if would a good idea to log off on the webforums I frequent, which I usually don't do, I just stay logged in. He said that's because the "cookies" wont be there and site may not recognize me. Is this correct?

I'm not all that tech savvy, and the guy certainly knew a lot more than me. I had noticed that the datafile backup was much less than the total used disc space. He said the other stuff was programs, old cookies, and cached stuff.

The reason I'm asking is because I "think" I remember my password, but am not 100% sure. I went to my profile to check it out and couldn't find any way to ascertain, or even change, my password. Is all this rigmarole even necessary? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Account settings is where your password is and I frequent many, many sites on multiple computers and I only have odd pop ups from Gmail when I log in from a pc it doesn't recognize.

I don't always log off all my stuff... just secure things like bank, email and stuff like that.

Sorry missed a few steps.  Click on user account then account settings.  If you can't remember the PW you can change it here.

Your new PC will create new cookies for you at all your fav sites but you will have to log in first so I hope you know your UN & PW for all your fav sites.

The rest is, as you said " rigmarole "  I like that!

Yeah, that's kind of what the shop guy said. Log back in so the site can start tossing you cookies to establish you. One more question, what is my UN?

Oops, sorry! Just realized that it means User Name! Duh! Yeah, user names I got, but sometimes the passwords escape me.

All web browsers have options to remove history, data cache (cookies), passwords, etc
Also, a user can select a time period (one day, one week, one month, from beginning of time) 
Basically, they are stored in a folder "temp files" on the hard drive.

Do you know the genesis of the term? Back in the day King Edward I conquered the Scots and demanded that the heads of all the clans sign a document pledging fealty to the English crown.

They had to sign on vellum (sheepskin), which was stitched end to end to accommodate all of the signatures. The Scots referred to it as the "Rag Man's Roll", which, in their lingo, translated into rigmarole. Source: Born in Blood, by John J. Robinson.

Thanks all. This helped.

Had to reply to this as yesterday 2 people used rigmarole!  Too funny!  :beer:

One at work and another when we were playing horseshoes.

I grew up hearing that word come out of my dad's mouth on a regular basis. I think he added a syllable as in "rig-a-marole"

Haven't used that saying in years. But, nowadays I've used "What a Cluster F**K" on occasions in it's place...

Well, to get back to the password issue, I had signed out on my old computer expecting to install a newer one immediately. Unfortunately that did not happen on schedule, so I tried to sign back in on my old computer. Unfortunately, the password the old computer "remembered" was apparently in error! It would not let me sign in!

But, a couple of e-mails from the site enabled me to fix that, and I now have a written record of what my password is.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By billchao ·

      Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.

      I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.

      There are plenty of amazing things people are doing every single day, but if other people don't care about it, nobody is going to notice. LPGA is not popular that popular, so despite the great achievement, is not getting any attention and is going to be forgotten very soon. On the other side, if tiger farts louder than normal we are definitively going to know about it because tiger is popular.

      @StuM when I called the course a couple of months ago they said you can mention that you want to add an extra night to the hotel when you book the package through them and the people who are in charge of the stay and play can handle it, did you ask them about that?
