Anyone else have this problem?

5 years ago

I haven't been able to log on for weeks. Somehow, I got here through the Test forum, but when I try another forum.....I am not logged on and can't.

I have tried using both Gardenweb and Houzz.

I did briefly when using too many ad-blocking and privacy plugins in my browser. I had to allow Gardenweb and Houzz to have access.

bamboo floor fumes--anyone else have this problem??
Q
Comments (69)
I'm adding to this thread because it seems like many folks who are posting comments here don't have a thorough background in the toxicity of a wide variety of home remodeling materials. Unless you buy your flooring (wood, bamboo, cork, etc.) from a well-known, long-running green housing material distributor, it is likely that your flooring is filled with toxic glues, sealers, and other chemicals that produce VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Bamboo in particular has a lot of glue because bamboo stalks are so thin (look at a bamboo cutting board to fully appreciate how much glue is needed). I have a MPH degree (Master of Public Health) and one of my areas of expertise is environmental health. I'm currently renovating a new condo apartment and for every material, I had to buy it from a specialty distributor that carefully vetted their product portfolio. The benefit of buying from green supply companies -- living in a healthy home. The challenge of purchasing green, healthy building materials -- cost. Green materials are more expensive. But, if you add up all the costs related to adverse health reactions and getting medical treatment to address them...then cheaper, less healthy building materials aren't so cheap, are they? A good place to start is Green Building Supply (based in Illinois, they have a great website), which ships all over the U.S. I bought cork flooring from them, they're great. Can't recommend them enough. They carry a wide array of building materials including safe paints, safe caulks and sealers, safe flooring, etc. If you want to get advice before a purchase, check out the website, 'My Chemical Free House.' Corinne is a building biologist and her site is filled with awesome tips for choosing safe and healthy building materials. Take good care & stay safe!

Heres what I am doing I removed my deck , you need a rubber bungie strap ,2 eyebolts with locknuts and washers, now with the dek off of the mower remove the blade break spring, next ensure the blade belt control lever swings freely,now insert one end of the bungie strap into the hole on the blade control lever(where the pto spring goes) now stretching the bungie cord (yes the blade control lever will engage) find a path clear of any moving belts ,pullys ect to the outside of the deck . Now find a flat spot and drill a hole for one of the eyebolts and install the eyebolt,now remove the S hook from the bungie cord and push the bungie cord through the eyebolt(again ensure that you have a clear path nothing will touch the bungie strap when the blades are turning) now find a spot on the foot rest (clear under and on top ) install the other eyebolt. now put the s hook back on the free end of the bungie cord and install the blade brake spring. Now if you hook the bungie cord to the eyebolt on the footrest the blades should activate and when you unhook the bungie cord the blade brake will engage stopping the blades.

Ugh, I have been having this problem for awhile too. Has definitely caused me to not spend much time on this and the conversation side. After opening a thread there is a thin line and anything above that line I can not open with out going back out. Below the line I can click and open. Have not experienced it with my iPad or iPhone - only with my MacBook. Thank you for posting about this.

Mike, you mentioned that you could post more than one photo, I've never seen that option or a way to grab several of them. I've only been able to insert one photo at a time, although I've been using the House Photo button (and then dragging my pic into the box) because in the past the Photo button didn't work so I got used to using the alternate way. Just a gripe, I get notifications to my phone, which I did allow thinking it would be for when people comment or like threads, but Houzz has added in their own notifications of sales or design stuff. Ugg, so annoying. -Nancy

The same thing happened to me last week after I'd done a cleanup and defrag on my computer. Then all of a sudden, it just started working. Try logging on to different forums and see if you can log in. Like, I was able to log in at one discussion forum but not the other, then suddenly, I was logged into the others as well. I'm afraid to clean my cookies again...YIKES!

I wonder if there are changes going on again. I am noticing a lot of unfamiliar names, but they belong to familiar posters.

I ongoingly clear my cookies (I use Firefox 82.0.3) and haven't experienced this.

What i have experienced, is some of my OP posts disappearing (getting deleted without explanation?), and also very long delays when posting an OP.

Yes, this is from a brand new Firefox installation (83.0):

The only thing I did, after opening it up and getting "Welcome to Firefox" page was go to https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions and click sign in.

No adblocker, no extensions of any kind.

A week or so ago I logged out to do a test and had problems getting logged back in on the gardenweb side. I was able to log into the houzz side. The only way I got back in was by copy cookies from another machine.

Logging into a Windows machine on which I had been logged into gardenweb, I found I was no longer logged it and couldn't get back in. I don't use Windows much so gave up. A few days later I started Windows up to discover I was suddenly logged in without doing anything.

I think it's because the techs are trying to juggle two domains, two sets of content pages, two sets of style sheets, one (or two?) user databases, and... whatever else.

Personally, for now I wouldn't log out once you get logged in. (clearing cookies also logs you out)
