Hi folks, Just wanted to stop by and assure you that we are working on these issues. Last week, we launched a new registration tool and there are still some bugs that are being ironed out. I know that it's frustrating and upsetting when things don't work as they should -- I really do feel your pain. Unfortunately, some of these bugs are difficult to recreate because they vary from member to member. What would be enormously helpful would be for you to contact us directly and detail what your issues are. Including information such as a step-by-step overview of your login process, where you are seeing issues, the error messages you are getting and anything else that might have differed from any previous login experiences. Many of you have probably already done this, but please make sure you check your browser settings and make sure that you have cookies enabled. If you would send this information to our contact link below, that would be extremely helpful. If you have specific questions or need something else, you are welcome to email us at the link below or contact me directly at any time -- my email is listed on my profile page. Thank you for your continued patience and support. Best regards, Tamara Amey GardenWeb Community Manager Here is a link that might be useful: Email Us

When I have to Log in (cuz save on this computer doesn't work ^$&@*(^%), It sounds like your browser is set to delete cookies each time it closes...which is a simple fix if that is what is wrong. If you are still having problems with it taking forever to connect, you might try posting over at Computer Help to see if others are having a similar problem. This forum gets little traffic compared to CH. Do you know if your browser is set to empty cache each time it closes. I 'think' that could maybe affect log-in time somewhat. Sue

Are you getting logged out at other sites too? I had that problem awhile back, but got it fixed by deleting all my cookies. Worked like a charm. If you are using IE, go to Tools/Internet Options/General tab and then click on 'Delete Cookies'. Hope this helps.

Hello Siobhan, When I contacted the webmaster, they asked which url I was using and after I sent it, she wrote back: It looks like you are using an old url. Try this one and you shouldn't have any problem staying logged in: http://glyphs.gardenweb.com/forums/paradise/ Is that the one you tried after googling it? I did exactly what you did, I erased the old url and then bookmarked the new one. When the problem began I blamed it on my new computer, but when I couldn't log in from the public library, I knew the problem was something else. I hope that helps.
