How come the emailed links from Techspot lead to wrong username or password

I don't think one thing has to do with the other, you could be using different browsers or you may want to check your cookies settings.

I think your on the right track as I have IE + Mozilla but I need to get back to using Outlook Express with with IE and thunderbird with Mozilla

Set both Mozilla and Thunderbird as your defaults.
Use IE strictly for Windows-updates.
Delete all cookies in both IE and Mozilla. Then login to TechSpot using Mozilla.
Should be OK from now on (unless you have more than 1 userID on Techspot?)

Which would go against our TOS

thanks its all sorted back to explorer + outlook and everything is fine. Couldnt see any good reason to have more than one ID at techspot or any other forum that I use the same username in total of four forums. Happy New Year.

Ive downloaded the latest build of Firefox which I intend to use as explorer has bad days.

You guys have done me a favour as there were log on probs elsewhere and they seem to have come out in the wash be Jesus Patrick.
