What great options. Digitizing a lifetime of music, voice recordings, movies, etc sure is time consuming. But it's wonderful there are so many options out there. Raven- I had forgotten all about Heartland catalogue. It's been probably 20 years since I ordered from them. Those are some great gadgets. The one with lp too is a bit pricey - esp. since I have a cd recorder connected to my turntable. It's a lot less convenient than having it by the computer - but it works well. The one for just tapes looks good. Grandms'- I don't need the turntable portion, but your post made me think that with the right cables (do you happen to know what they are?) I should be able to hook up my old compact stereo/cassette player to my computer. My question about that has always been that I don't think i have an input into my sound card. Does that mean I have an integrated sound card (without its own input port). But there must be cables that could transfer from a stereo to a usb port. Heck - are there cables that go to a firewire port - or perhaps that's overkill for music files. What's Pyro? Did that come with turntable - or just a program you have? I assume Roxio cd creator could do that - burn a cd? how did you find Cakewalk easier than Audacity? I think I've heard good things about both. And Urlee and Jean love Audacity and find it easy. So I'd appreciate any other thoughts in deciding which software to use? Thanks. Lynn.

Thanks everyone for the commiseration - we're all in this together, that's for sure. I know many of you have already voiced your comments [HERE[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/new-look-for-gardenweb-topics-dsvw-vd~5342444) but if you haven't, that's the 'consolidated' thread for griping. You're welcome to gripe here, too but you're singing to the choir - at least Emily reads that other thread and somewhat addresses some of the issues some of the time. How's that for a qualified endorsement ;-) I have not posted there about the message issues out of an abundance of caution although I really don't believe they would care if we stay or go. However I haven't seen it brought up by anyone else so perhaps it's a problem on my end. Don't want to throw blame if it's not them.

Good news. Editing seems to be working again. I'm using Firefox on Windows PC. Edit added - just testing to make sure! second edit - Yes, it worked! third edit - 3 + hours later

I meant that rather than it being an issue of Safari not working with Gardenweb/Houzz, since I have a lot of browsers and they're all behaving in the exact same way, and since all of the ones I have, at least, are built on the iPad toolkit, making them more alike than different, it's more accurate to suspect that the mismatch is there. There are a LOT of weird mismatches happening to a variety of apps in iPadland now. It's likely that they're all dev side, especially since my OS hasn't been deprecated but isn't the latest release. But there's something weird happening all this month... But LOL on the end tag! Especially remembering back to when we could make our posts in HTML, and break the rendering of the whole page for everyone with a missing close. :D I've seen where the error is in the draw on my Windows laptop. There's a stall and hiccup in the drawing of the thread right after it posts the OP plus Featured, then it shakes itself like a wet dog and draws a few posts then shivers and shows the whole thread. On the iPad it stops at the first stall.
