I'm always astonished on how few people use GardenWeb. I wandered into the beekeeping forum and found it interesting. The following day I went to a garden market (one of those once a week things) and a local beekeeper said he'd never even heard of GardenWeb. Got to get my GW tee shirt out and start advertising this wonderful site.

Thanks everyone! I have sure missed my flowers, we moved to the country a few years ago and between kids, citters and an old house my yard has come last.... Cynthia, I have thought about you often and I must get your number again so we can visit... And my laptop got a virus and ahs died so I don't have much time to get on here...it is a pain to get on the big old home computer LOL!

If you fire up your old macbook and you're still signed into gardenweb using Firefox, you may be in luck. If you are logged in using Firefox I could do a more step-by- step on how to locate the cookie file. Firefox makes it easy to locate the correct folder. Another way to find troubleshooting info by going through the hamburger menu. (the three lines) Or even better: about:support Then you'll see where to open the profile directory and find the file. I don't like Chrome either but probably for a reason that doesn't matter to most anyone else. (I prefer tabs on bottom, Firefox lets me do that, Chrome does not) The error you posted is the one I get. Other browsers might word it differently but it's the same error. Anyone that does not have trouble with gardenweb(dot)com links, it's because you haven't logged out, either intentionally or inadvertently. Unless Houzz fixes it, sooner or later everyone will be using houzz(dot)com. I like the way gardenweb is styled better than houzz so I'll use it until I can no longer use it. I can picture the techs pulling their hair out and cussing every time they make a change on houzz that breaks something on gardenweb. Anyone that is logged in using gardenweb(dot)com and prefers it over houzz(dot)com, don't log out or clear cookies. :-) "If you can get in on chrome you’re leaps ahead of me!" I missed that. Same here. Maybe in whatever way the OS update messed up Firefox, it just didn't mess up Chrome? Perhaps sitting beside a new Firefox profile is an old Firefox profile with a logged in gardenweb cookie? I might go to the currently active Firefox profile by going through "Troubleshooting information" as above then hit the up arrow and look for another profile directory. Inside that older profile might be a cookies.sqlite file that once pasted into the active directory, would switch you to signed in. (close Firefox before pasting the replacement cookie file, then start it back up) Probably too much to hope for... but worth a look see?

Just goes to show how addicting this place is...they always come back. I have actually been taking a break from the decorating side for a while. Now that trends and or styles are changing again I might mosey on over. Wouldn't it be great if Marco also came back? My favorite times on the other side was the D.A.T days.
