Hi Georgect: If the person has allowed anyone to message them, by setting it up in their personal profile-advanced settings, then you can send them a message by clicking their name to go to their profile and then clicking the message link on the upper right hand corner. If there is no message link, then they have not chosen to receive messages. You can also send a message if that person is following you. You can try it by clicking my name, because I have elected to receive messages from anyone. You should see the message link when you go to my profile page.

Raven, can you apply a userscript in your browser? (Using something akin to Greasemonkey? Tampermonkey perhaps?) If so, this userscript might help: // ==UserScript== // @name fixSearch // @namespace unique.namespace.489ijkdf.namespace.can.be.anything.unique // @include *gardenweb.com* // @version 1 // @grant none // ==/UserScript== document.getElementById('navSpecialPromoLink').style="display: none !important;"; document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-search-bar')[0].style="width: auto !important;"; Other than the header (the lines starting with //), there's really only two lines of code (JavaScript). The first line hides the sales tag. The second line allows the search box to resize to the proper width. To get an idea whether or not the above would work for you, you could possibly test using a bookmarklet... (1) Create a new bookmark, name it "fixSearch" or whatever. (2) Set the "location" to: javascript:void(document.getElementById('navSpecialPromoLink').style="display: none !important;"); void(document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-search-bar')[0].style="width: auto !important;"); As I'm sure you know, you shouldn't indiscriminately copy and run bookmarklets but this one is so simple, you can probably conclude it to be safe? ---------------------- A different method, if you can apply page styling (CSS), (using "Stylish" or similar) would be to use a couple styling rules like these: #navSpecialPromoLink { display: none !important; } .navbar-search-bar { width: auto !important; } As with the JavaScript, the first line hides the sales tag, the second line allows the search bar to resize automatically. --------------------- I agree though, you shouldn't have to do either, it should just work, no jumping though hoops. Why it's not, I don't know, I'm not a programmer. -------------------- BTW, I don't have a tablet to test with. And squeezing Firefox (on my desktop) down to a width of 300px doesn't cause the search bar to mess up in the same way yours does. In other words, being unable to replicate the problem, I have no way of knowing if any of the above is useful to you or not.

When that happens on Firefox, I switch to Chrome, which usually is better. For me, I think it's when my less than adequate internet service slows down too much to load the page completely (like at 3 pm when kids start coming home from school and get on the internet at home, or at 9 pm when people start trying to stream videos - an iffy proposition when you have bad internet options).

Annnnnd it just did it again. If I post without photos in the original post it goes through. When I go back to add photos it gets stuck. I can't load photos in a comment either. ETA - WTH Houzz, two out of the six photos showed up and now they're gone. Finally worked.
