The message below from Tamara Amey GardenWeb Community Manager was posted to a thread at Winter Sowing, * Posted by gwtamara (My Page) on Fri, Dec 17, 10 at 11:47 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

KS, I love my duplex; it is in its first year. My shots of it are blooms down low; I can tell yours is "up high" - how large is it, if you don't mind my asking? I was so amazed at the sweet fragrance of the buds. I am really enjoying seeing everyone's shots. Windeaux, frankly, I am staying out of the brouhaha because I don't really care what the rose is. I wish they'd get some of those free-use pics of Redoute's drawings and use those. I hate this to turn into some kind of a competition; I just like to see the fruit of everyone's gardens. But that's just me, I'm sure and others think differently. And, Windeaux, I've only heard Tamara say kind things about you. Gean This post was edited by harborrose on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 21:28

Hi Tamara, Sorry for lack of clarity re: names. Put me in the 'slightly paranoid' - I prefer the term 'careful' - re: ID theft, pile. Yes, so far, every one has used only membernames on this new forum you're a-borning today, nothing you missed. Will we continue to be as careful? My concern is not so much about using a self-acknowledged first name (chemocurl regularly signs herself as Sue, etc.) More that I've seen occasions on other GW forums when someone who seems to guard their 'real' name has been addressed by it, gleaned from a trade snail-mail addy. Hoping we can protect their privacy *before* a lapse. Clearer? Mud? If latter, we can persue once this baby is launched. No abuses so far; sure you're busy. Thanks for your good work.
