The Kitchen Table

What would cause me not being able to post??

last modified: 9 years ago

I use my laptop all the time. I just got the Motherboard replaced and now I can't post or comment on GardenWeb at all. I can, on my desktop,as I am now.

I cleared the cache, re-booted it, etc but it won't let me post anything.

How can I get GW to work on my laptop again?

Well, out of the blue yonder it seems to be working again!!!! I was hoping I didn't have to send it back, or call them. The laptop was covered under warranty and I shipped it to Lenovo. Fingers crossed, that I can keep posting!!!

I'm assuming you can launch a browser and navigate to gardenweb.com?

Try to post when using IE. If it works, reinstall Firefox or whatever browser you're using.

B-W, I tried IE yesterday, and it doesn't work either. Chrome is my go-to browser.

What disease/pest would cause this damage?
Q

Eric, cutting off those damaged buds to clean new growth would be a very good idea, and picking up any from the ground below, and sealing them in a bag and throwing them in the garbage. Do you mulch? Adding a few inches of clean mulch below the roses before next year's bloom would be a good idea, too. There's some debate about whether or not disease spores can survive over the winter, but my view is that they have to come from somewhere, and it might as well not be the planting beds. Anita

What else would cause a FL to smell?
Q
Comments (9)
My Samsung FL gets a "residual soap" smell after a bit more than a week. (we use liquid All free and clear, sometimes highly diluted Down free/clean, and sometimes vinegar in lieu of Downy). I run the Pure Cycle (cleaning cycle) every 12 days. After that cycle has run, the washer has no odor at all (I have a sensitive sniffer. :) ) After a few washes, the soap residue smell will return. Today, my wife and I discussed the fact that not all soap is being removed from every wash load, so we are going to begin using even less All. We have been filling the All cap to Line #2. we are going to start filling only to Line #1. Maybe that will allow us to extend the times between Pure Cycles. Time will tell. This past week, for the first time, I detected a faint sour smell, so I added roughly a cup or so of liquid bleach to the Pure Cycle, and now the washer is right back to it's "odorless" state again. We always use a rag to dry the boot, soap dispenser cavity in the washer, turn the dispenser tray assembly upside down to remove excess water, and leave the door and tray open. So far, no mold has appeared on the boot. essentially the washer seems to be as pristine as the day we bought it ~6 months ago.

I wonder if my 'eyebags' are being caused by my thyroid?
Q
Comments (8)
As one who just had her thyroid removed, I say go for it - check into anything and everything that you are concerned about. I cannot tell you how different life is now. Not saying that you are having thyroid problems, or that it is best to have it removed, but just ask. If you don't get a comfortable answer, ask again, or ask another professional. Some things will just be that way for me, but I was amazed at what is changing - and my levels weren't that far off. I just had some abnormally large nodules that were just plain, in the way (and quite painful). Let us know what happens. Oh, and don't worry about your appearance - I've learned along the way that it doesn't even matter. The person you think is staring at you is worried about the know on her forehead. The more self-conscious we are about things, the more they stick out. Besides, so what if they talk - you are still loved.

Is this wound to this Seiryu JM serious? *pic*, & what would cause it
Q
Comments (18)
What kind of wildlife do you have in the area? Squirrels will pull bark off JM's to build nests and rabbits can nibble on them as well. Regardless of what's causing the damage (and I'd consider wrapping to prevent further attacks), it is not extensive and should heal well and pose no serious issues for the tree, all other things being equal.

Make sure that garden web is in the white list on the browser. It could have some how gotten black listed. Doing the work you mentioned should not in any way affect the sites you can use. Unless a list was installed that blocks a lot of websites. Did you change your Antivirus? Did you clear everything not just the cache but history and cookies as well as browsing history? If not do it.

What exactly can you do and not do. lets get very specific. Can you actually get to this website? Can you sign in to it? Can you view posts? Tell me as much information as possible. Not just that you can't post or it doesn't work. Explain it exactly.

By the way the powers that be on houzz are apparently messing with the code again because I suddenly can not post a picture from my android tablet on any of several browsers. I was able to do that just fine yesterday. I would love it if stuff like this quit happening! I have downloaded about 15 different browsers and it does not work on any to post a picture. Day to day things change here.

I'm on the desktop.

I can sign into GW and read everything, but when I type a comment, it buffers for a while, and then a window pop ups. Unable to Comment. I think it says to refresh, or try again. When I go to refresh it, the window asks if I want to leave the page, and that the comment will be lost.

I'll clear the History, Downloads etc and see if that helps. I'm pretty sure I did that anyway, not just the cache.

It was working fine before the techs made the motherboard replacement. It has to be connected to that. Ask them if they made any hidden changes. It's worth a try.

Any chance you need to sign in to your HOUZZ account on your laptop?

Good luck.

I would bring it back to where you got the motherboard replaced and ask them what's going on and see if they can fix it.
