I believe the anser to the question is this:  When you go to forums 
and etc where it keeps track of your posts read and your user id - 
these are stored in cookies for that web site.  I am sure there are 
programs to back up your cookies but I have no personal knowledge of 
them.  Someone else on this forum should be able to help with that.
