I may not understand what you mean by preferences. My useid and email address are saved somewhere and when I post a message or reply, the blanks are prefilled. Is that due to saved preferences or saved profile? All the alternates for "your name" that I use sometimes when I'm traveling are still shown if I click on that field without having entered anything.

I haven't had a personal profile on the bb for several years.

Everything else on the new site seems to work great!
