Actually, I am a member of the community. My user name is mak

I remembered to login just after I posted my message :). Let me post my message again WITH formating :)

Here is the mssage

--------------------------------------------------

Hello, First, I thank all who helped me on my previous postings. It was a great deal of help. But I still have problems :) I was able to login the page once with the code belowe. Now it says that session has been expired. I copied this code from one of the replies. Am I doing somthiong wrong in when simulating a login? I am passing all the paramaters to the url

($url->query_form(
                 artist => $pm_user,
                 albumcode => $pm_password);
[download]


Those are the only parameters to be passed. BTW, can someone tell me how to format the message, specially the the code, nicely like eveyone else does? Thanks in advance
