I believe NBCUniversal owns gardenweb, (IVillage). I'm not an expert in the web biz but keeping your users at your site, not redirecting them to another, is one notion that was followed in my day as a tekkie. Why they single out jb is a mystery - maybe the two forums have too much overlap and are in direct competition. I might go to another gw forum, like a gardening one, that has nothing to do with tile and try adding a jb link there. See if it gets rejected.

Aintnosunshine the first thing you should do is start a new thread rather than find a 6 month old one as this only causes confusion. When you start the new thread please include the computer make and model, all names of firewall, anti virus and anti malware programs you are running and when they were last updated and a full test ran. "Some message pops up" up is useless, write the message down and post that too, it might be the biggest help of all. Help can only be as good as the input provided by the person needing the help. Help us to help you.

Nevermind. I think I have it -will start new thread.

Honestly, I'm not concerned one bit. I have never seen a ss sink 'fail' or break. The 20 gauge builder grade beauty (16 years old) that I just removed has a lifetime of use in it yet! My ticors have a thick black coating on them so they will be quiet. Many, many people have Ticors on this site and gauge has not been an issue. I do think they should be correctly represented, as it is unethical to tout something as 16 gauge if it is not...but in real daily life the true gauge is neither here nor there to us. That's my opinion at least!
