Looks like perhaps you logged in with a google account rather than your dedicated gardenweb account. Try logging in as chisue. Not sure how well the recover password works but you can try that if you’ve forgotten it. Or look for it on your old computer, if available.

I see Sue when I open the post but before I open it I see something else, not chisue. In the past Houzz has had a glitch and I have seen full names. I'm not sure if this is the case with you or not.

Yep. She’s logged in under a different account, that’s why I’m suspecting google which is a logon option.

OK, I'm on my old laptop, where I'm still chisue. How do I replicate this one-step sign-in on the new one? (Same problem with all my bookmarked sites.)

I think I have to call DGS (20), who did the set-up on the new laptop.

'Splain me about 'google' versus whatever THIS is?

I had to login via Google too when I had lost my user name because of deleting my login information. I got it back by going to https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/kitchentable, then logging in by entering my preferred user name and *most importantly for me* entering the password I had used with that user name. Passwords are saved in the browser that I use, fortunately, otherwise I would still be using Google. Best of luck, I know how frustrating it can be.
