I'm optimistic that it may just be a short interruption of service and that they will message the community with updates as available.

I am concerned for those though who have chosen to 'collapse' the What's New on GardenWeb: messages and thus may not see the message or this thread, and go bonkers when they experience problems this week.

Being a real busy body, I like knowing 'What's new'.

Sue...an optimist by nature

oh I got LOTS of pictures of her already. She is SO YOUNG, I never had a little tiny one like that before and she does things I have not seen with the others. She is her own little Precious. If only you could see her right now. I had to take the keyboard half in my lap and she is taking up the upper half of the keyboard with her head that lays there :-) yes Kristy...I am a person anyways that thrives when I can give someone Love. Love comes in ALL ways. For ALL PEOPLE and Animals. Sometimes it might be a hug, a smile or just a hello that shows someone...hey, SOMEONE cares about me. Lucy

Check the tomato forum. There was a discussion over there and someone listed how to get rid of the ads. I can't remember the exact post but I'll try to find it. It worked for me!! Found it- Try this: I don't know if there's some additional mozilla thing that will get rid of the ads you're still getting, but this will block them: (copied from another thread here) "The Universal Solution: (if you have a PC) This will work on Windows systems for all browsers; IE, FireFox and Netscape. The Windows operating system provides a system-level method to block specific IP addresses before they even get to the browser. To effect this solution you need to edit a Windows system file called "HOSTS". This file is located in the directory: Windows XP: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Windows 2K: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Windows 98: C:\WINDOWS Open the file in Notepad. Cut the following from this post and paste it to the end of the file. 127.0.0.1 amch.questionmarket.com 127.0.0.1 a820.g.akamai.net 127.0.0.1 iv.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 i.ivillage.com 127.0.0.1 m.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1 tste.ivillage.com 127.0.0.1 img-cdn.mediaplex.com 127.0.0.1 ads.vmirror.com 127.0.0.1 cmhtml.ivillage.overture.com 127.0.0.1 ads.pointroll.com 127.0.0.1 xml.ivillage.overture.com 127.0.0.1 cmls.overture.com 127.0.0.1 cm.ivillage.overture.com Close and re-open your browser and all the ads will be gone. Unfortunately, iVillage may in the future buy ads from a new source. In this event the new ad source will have to be added to the list. " o

Thank you! I got all the dishes, glasses and pitcher as well as the flatware from Dansk when they had a little outlet store here. The dishes have a regular soup bowl as well as what they call a fruit or cereal bowl, which is a totally different shape. Then Lenox bought Dansk and closed the store. It was the greatest place. They sent coupons out often, and you could use them on your whole order. If someone got one for 50% off, they let you share. It was great! Wish we still had it, I would be posting pics everyday of what they had!!! Hi2all, I answered your question about my dining room carpet on the home dec forum under centerpieces. If you want, I will take a better pic of the carpet. Maybe when I get all my St. Pat's stuff out I'll put it on the carpet and take a pic, killing 2 birds with one stone!!! As for the napkins, they call it a crown, and it I would have starched and ironed them, they would have come out better. Next time! LOL

Buehl, please do! I was just trying to save something of use. I'd been checking the GW all night, turned my back for 15 minutes to watch the Health Care vote, and whammo! all the posts were gone. I kept refreshing, thinking, "This can't be!"

"January 7: Beginning tomorrow at 10pm ET..." I believe it's TOMORROW evening at ten.

hmmm...the red message is dated Jan 7th and it says Beginning tomorrow at 10pm ET, we will be making hardware upgrades to our site that will necessitate downtime to our forums.

Did it earlier say that the upgrades would begin tonight? or did I read it wrong. Anyway...I guess they won't be doing anything until Tues at 10PM.

I think they will be working on it Tuesday at 10 pm.

I hope they don't upgrade too much so that my webtv can't access the site. I can't go to a lot of sites I used to be able to go to because of upgrades.

Tuesday at 10 has come ... and gone.

Tuesday at midnight has come ... and gone.

The system is still operating (Wed at 1:45 a.m. Eastern).

This is their idea of a bright New Year, I guess

But - this is the first that I've heard of iVillage operating in the red!

BUT, YES, they did change it! That is not what the first message said. You are right, Patti.

A lot of folks really did not like the 'What's New' thing when GW first started it...saying it was too much at the top, and took time to load, so they made it collapsible.

3 more minutes b4 they start!
