Edsel Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Moderator note - first 5 posts here were moved from another topic that was being derailed. 23 hours ago, RitaB said: Hi, LaVergne, welcome to the Board! Rita, LaVergne is simply Edsel on a client's computer. In order to post, you have to register, and the IP address of the computer in use will not allow a duplication of another name. Apologize if you were misled, there was no attempt to "hide" my identity. I think you know I would not hide behind a tree to post, even for unpopular subjects. The client's computer is in LaVergne, Tennessee. My engagement at this client will last until January when a full-time person will take over. Thus posts from "LaVergne" will be few and not last very long. Edited October 31, 2018 by jklcpa added mod note of explanation 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely NO NEED to set up any other username to access this forum.

First forum of this kind where I've found this to be true. A good idea, too - keeps from needless proliferation of names. Helpful post - hope others read it. "LaVergne" may die a premature death... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A username and password will allow access to wherever you want to log in to, but you need to make sure that you trust the computer and network it is on to have that information stored in its cookies. By the way, I strongly suspected this was you just by the way your post was worded before I ever checked the profile. There's more information that Eric and I can see than the general membership has access to. Buh bye LaVergne. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby Normal Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have a lovely friend who is not so computer savvy. She forgot her facebook password so she started another account. Eventually she recovered her old account's password but she apparently uses both accounts (one on her computer and one on her phone, I imagine). She often ends up liking my posts twice. The icing on the cake is that her profile pic on the new account is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. I almost posted her to https://old.reddit.com/r/oldpeoplefacebook/ but, like I said, she's a lovely friend. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 We old people more or less on Facebook appreciate your restraint. I've never looked at reddit but might have to seek out the one you mentioned. Now, how do I do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 You don't have to create an account on reddit to view the content. If you're interested, I am one of the moderators on https://old.reddit.com/r/tax/ We get a lot repetitive stupid questions but, as always, I've learned things there. We also have a few IRS agents that hang out and are quite useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Trouble making the link right! (Please don't put me on oldpeoplefacebook!) https://old.reddit.com/r/tax/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Abby, why aren't either of your links working? They both come right back around to this topic on here. Cut and paste of the address into the address bar works, so that is odd that the link itself doesn't. I used the same web address that Abby provided and this works: LINK Abby, is your linked site mostly questions from professionals or from the public with answers by pros? I ask because I noticed another one referred over at the right of that page for pros with the addition to the link "/r/taxpros" that has a different format. Which is it that you moderate? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I moderate /r/tax. I almost never go to the tax pros one. It's mostly petrified average taxpayers that post questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
