@ GµårÐïåñ: I think the reason I missed what therube caught is that I *never* store permanent cookies, for any site, anywhere. Dumped every session, always. So my brain was blocked in that direction. If I'm not mistaken, I believe therube correctly surmised that the OP had a permanent login cookie from i711. When he changed his email address (a partial re-registration), some information in the old cookie did not match the new information in the server database. Therefore, once the cookie was gone, the site simply loaded a new cookie with the updated info, and he was good. Of course, I could be mistaken. But the fact that clearing the old cookie did the trick surely points that way, don't you think? (Memo to self: Remember that many users store permanent cookies.)
It also doesn't answer the intriguing question of why two different cookie addons couldn't do what he did manually. I guess that's why I've never found a need for a cookie manager -- Fx works fine for me in that regard. Naturally, YMMV.
