That is because of how the links work there. When you go to HMF and click on My HMF, you are redirected to your log-ed in page on HMF. It is the same generic link to every member and if you add that link to the forum, it will always redirect to your own page (or any other members own page, depends on who is clicking it). That's the link that looks like this: http://helpmefind.com/gardening/guest.php?tab=1 Now if you want to link to your garden so that other people see your garden, you have to log out, go to HMF member, Search your nick and then you will get the different link, that looks like: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=99.377331 - that's unique member link. It's not very comfy way to link to the profile, and I could not figure the other way quickly, so searching member name is a bit easier imho. But maybe someone who had more coffee than me and does not have a whining baby and a whining cat, can figure that one out better. :P

Is there any reason not to use robe hooks instead? Many of them look better to me, but they also need to hang onto the towels. The white rubber tip is ingenious, but I'm thinking about how they look when empty (these would be for guests, they could also use them to hang up their clothes when showering.) I have also thought of sewing the loops on the towels, but it seems like that would make them hang even more compressed, and less likely to dry. But in our climate, if you stay so long your towel smells moldy, it is probably time to go home! (But I have lived places where that seems to happen almost immediately, so your mileage may vary) Are some shapes better than others for keeping the towels on? At my in-laws, they fall off before you even turn around, so it's something I'm sensitive to.

Thanks, sj! Our plan was to add a towel bar/large appliance pull to the island to hang out towels but I'm so reluctant to put holes in our cabs. I stuck up 2 of the 3M hooks to try it out and see whether it works before permanently mounting something. I bought a whole bunch of new towels, white with a thin blue stripe for dishes, multi-striped for hands, and yet DH and DS2 are still using the wrong towel. I find it disgusting when they wipe a clean dish with a towel that was just used to wipe raw egg off fingers. Sigh. Anyhoo, I am trying to figure out what method will work best for us. Thanks for your help.

I just saw it at Anthropology this weekend. It was on the rack with the cabinet knobs--was 30% off.
