Oh...and I saw this in one of your replies, "PS-am having to change subject a bit since it keeps telling me I've already submitted a response (this has happened on another forum, too, recently???" If you respond to a thread in a short period of time, it is necessary to change the Subject of Posting line by one or more characters or spaces. Once it is changed and you hit Preview again, it will then Submit...just as it did for you. Having to change the Subject line is 'supposed' to help at keeping the number of duplicate posts down. You sure thwarted them on that...lol Sue...aka chemocurl

Hi folks, Just wanted to stop by and assure you that we are working on these issues. Last week, we launched a new registration tool and there are still some bugs that are being ironed out. I know that it's frustrating and upsetting when things don't work as they should -- I really do feel your pain. Unfortunately, some of these bugs are difficult to recreate because they vary from member to member. What would be enormously helpful would be for you to contact us directly and detail what your issues are. Including information such as a step-by-step overview of your login process, where you are seeing issues, the error messages you are getting and anything else that might have differed from any previous login experiences. Many of you have probably already done this, but please make sure you check your browser settings and make sure that you have cookies enabled. If you would send this information to our contact link below, that would be extremely helpful. If you have specific questions or need something else, you are welcome to email us at the link below or contact me directly at any time -- my email is listed on my profile page. Thank you for your continued patience and support. Best regards, Tamara Amey GardenWeb Community Manager Here is a link that might be useful: Email Us

I use ipad and have found if I leave the page to look at another tab, or my ipad times out, the GW page reloads and loses all my info. I've had to remember to copy everything if I need to go do something before posting. That way I'm not rewriting. Very annoying, but believe it's a safari refresh issue, not so much the forum.

I think we're all jumping the gun here and skittish because of the change we just went through - we knew it was coming but they pulled the rug without giving us a date. Seems they were doing some maintenance the other night and nothing more but I think setting up a meeting place on the Houzz forums is a great idea in the unlikely event that our GW side disappears one day - I think we're safe to assume the Houzz side would remain. Whoever sees it first can go over to the What Are You Working On forum and send up a a signal flag - GW MEMBERS HERE or something!!! daisychain - our group did have a long advance warning with a specific date when all MSN groups would be shut down. Our group managers had the ability to email en masse and we did that multiple times to hopefully catch everyone. That gave us time to research other options, but as I said, after 2 other host changes we are on facebook now. I'm sure there are some members who lost us along the way with the changes and others who won't join us because it's now on fb, but that's life - there is an ebb and flow to these groups that would happen anyway.
