Seriously My3dogs? I'm scratching my head - this just doesn't make sense to me but then all things internet are a bit woo-woo to me ;-) It has to be related somehow to differences in browsers and/or computers/phones/tablets but since what I know about this stuff fits on the head of a pin I've reached my limit. But you got here today..... what did you do?

Bookmark it that way? But that would be too obvious. I have always just used my 14 year old Kitchens bookmark. Recently it's been as described: weird. When not at home I go in as you described. I just get that mish-mash. I'm not adverse to change, having been in IT for years. But sometimes, just leave well enough alone! If it ain't broke, don't kowtow to your advertisers! Really. Without the client/member base, the advertisers get nothing. Just like every other week Pinterest is "improving" to the point where at least my feed is 80% promoted pins of crap I don't care about. Never did I pin (or search on houzz) for clothing, make-up, jewelry, recipes, and other, gender (biased) specific crap. I'm a power tool, build your own kitchen kinda chick. anyway. Thkx.

If you fire up your old macbook and you're still signed into gardenweb using Firefox, you may be in luck. If you are logged in using Firefox I could do a more step-by- step on how to locate the cookie file. Firefox makes it easy to locate the correct folder. Another way to find troubleshooting info by going through the hamburger menu. (the three lines) Or even better: about:support Then you'll see where to open the profile directory and find the file. I don't like Chrome either but probably for a reason that doesn't matter to most anyone else. (I prefer tabs on bottom, Firefox lets me do that, Chrome does not) The error you posted is the one I get. Other browsers might word it differently but it's the same error. Anyone that does not have trouble with gardenweb(dot)com links, it's because you haven't logged out, either intentionally or inadvertently. Unless Houzz fixes it, sooner or later everyone will be using houzz(dot)com. I like the way gardenweb is styled better than houzz so I'll use it until I can no longer use it. I can picture the techs pulling their hair out and cussing every time they make a change on houzz that breaks something on gardenweb. Anyone that is logged in using gardenweb(dot)com and prefers it over houzz(dot)com, don't log out or clear cookies. :-) "If you can get in on chrome you’re leaps ahead of me!" I missed that. Same here. Maybe in whatever way the OS update messed up Firefox, it just didn't mess up Chrome? Perhaps sitting beside a new Firefox profile is an old Firefox profile with a logged in gardenweb cookie? I might go to the currently active Firefox profile by going through "Troubleshooting information" as above then hit the up arrow and look for another profile directory. Inside that older profile might be a cookies.sqlite file that once pasted into the active directory, would switch you to signed in. (close Firefox before pasting the replacement cookie file, then start it back up) Probably too much to hope for... but worth a look see?

Rusty, have you cleared your cache recently? If you haven't, when you try to access the link I provided, you may indeed get an error message. Try clearing your cache and give it a try. When you visit a website, it stores information, such as the location you visited, or old forms. Here's a website that shows different browsers. You can select the one you use and see how to clear your cache. https://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/
