Resolved: 'Confirm' houzz Problem
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.

I still could not sign in with my Garden Web username....try a dozen times had to sign in via my Facebook Acct....very sad....not happy with this change at all...too complicated...I am going to miss my Computer Forum posters ....they were always there when I needed them....I like change but this is not for the good....I was Cricketm on Garden Web ....
I am here as Marie Bello Susa (my Facebook name) please help me to go back to my User Name: Cricketm......I have Marie Bello Susa acct under msn email acct...and Cricketm under optonline.net....so confusing.....
