Resolved: 'Confirm' houzz Problem

chas045

This is both a test to make sure I am back on 'gardenweb' and possible help for others like me who may have run into my problem with Confirming my Account. Until today, I was unable to 'confirm' my account although I appeared to be following directions. I clicked the 'confirm' button; input email etc; and received the email message. But when I clicked the email 'confirm' button, I ended up back where I started. The snag was that I was always on my netbook where I use 'Incredimail' for my e-mail. Incredimail has its own browser that appears to do strange things. Today, I used my desktop computer that uses Outlook for mail and was immediately able to Confirm my account and if this goes thru, I am back.

I doubt that I am the only one with odd problems like this. Perhaps others, who can read these threads, but can't post, will find this useful.
