try going to the actual main page of the GW ivillage page and log out there then try logging in, I have had a problem at times logging in and I can always do it successfully if I go there and do the log in.

Ok she did what I said but I gave several options which one did she do? did she get firefox too or did she just turn off the script?

also GW has put up in red at the top of the page that they are working on some of these problems and ask to contact them if you have problems I would highly suggest doing that so they can try to determine what is happening.

Here is a link that might be useful: Garden web main page log in

This is what Glenda did:

I am logged out, can't log in.
Did go to home page, logged out, can click log in and make it work.
I went to my Internet Explorer, and disabled the active scripting. That allowed me to get into the threads, but can't log in.
I DID email garden web telling them what I have done

I had a problem similar to that and ended up having to register again, with a slightly different name. That was about 1-2 years ago.

I think the log in problem is one that GW may have to help with. I have never had anything other than a couple of times and for me doing it from that main page worked.

Only other thing she might do is run ATF to clear out all the cache and history and cookies and stuff from her IE in case she has a bad one saved in there that would flush them out.
ATF-Cleaner

very very simple to use the directions are right there on that page. She can try doing it manually as well but ATF does a thorough job.
In internet explorer>Internet options> temp files> clear all

One day ago, Garden Web was experiencing problems. The fix: Stay away for awhile like an hour or so and then check back.

I had to have Tamara help me with this some months ago. She worked some magic, then all was well. Good luck, Glenda!
