Yes, i went back to forum and logged in. Thereafter, all was fine. Hmmm, we have weather here atm, is it possible a snafu in the connection caused me to have a new ip address before i clicked Post, and that's why it wasn't recognised?

Yes, that is very possible. One way the system prevents snatching of a simple user cookie is to compare your current IP to that of the IP when the session was created. This is not full proof by itself, but there are other checks in place. So, if your IP changed, then it would have caused this problem.
