My problem is that I am always signed on with my husbands screen name, crewbus. I would like my own idenity. 1) how do I get my own screen name? 2) how do we switch them back and forth.

Help!
Tammy (not crewbus, but his wife)

Look to the left of your screen and hit the Logout button. It is the 7th button from the top. Then just sign in with the new screen name.

Yes...all you need to do is log out of his account, then log in under yours. When you finish be sure to log out yourself so that he isn't you :smile:

Part of the problem is that when I try to log out and log back in, it says that he is logged in thus never really logging him out.

When you click log out do you see the message "Logging you out" or something similar? If so, when it returns to the home page do you see "Welcome XYZ" under the MCO logo (where XYZ is your husband's username)? If so, this is a browser caching issue that I can assist with (let me know if this is the case and I'll follow up with you). If on the other hand you see a username and password field under the logo then enter your username and password (of your own account) and you should be able to log in.

When I log out of his name it does say crewbus has logged out but then it takes me back to the home page and it still shows his name as signed in.

This sounds very similar to another problem I've seen with Internet Explorer. To correct this do the following:

1) Launch Internet Explorer
2) Click on Tools/Internet Options
3) Under Temporary Internet Files select Settings
4) Select "Every visit to the page" and click OK
5) Click OK
6) Visit https://www.northamericanmotoring.com and you should see the username/password login fields displayed on the page
