    I went over to Landscaping.com for the first time today, but, despite logging in I couldn't read any of the posts. I could browse the photos...
    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Terry, I think this is the same bug that we were talking about a few days ago on one of the other threads--if you click on the title of one of the threads that's been started, it takes you to the Landscaping.com home page rather than letting you read the thread. I tried viewing the threads that I had started on a couple of my own landscapes, and I think I tried going into a thread of someone else's too and they all take me back to the home page.

    Any of those that I click take me right to the Landscaping.com home page. Not positive that's the same problem philomel was having, but I think it probably is.

    Yes ecrane, that's exactly it. Clicking on the threads at Landscaping.com takes me straight back to the home page.

    When this thread popped up in my threadwatcher I hoped someone was going to say the problem is fixed.
    Looks as if there's at least three of us...? LOL

    I discovered another way in which lets you read the threads--go to the "Guides and Information" tab, then click Landscaping in the navigation box. You can read all the threads this way, and you can view all the landscapes, but you lose the ability to browse landscapes by keywords like you can if you go in through the Landscaping.com home page. But when you go in that way, you can't read the posts.

    I'm either really confused or having similar problems. I can't seem to figure out where/how to make a new entry. I was going to post of the of the pictures I took this summer of our patio, pergola, walkway project.

    If you want to add a landscape, go to the main landscaping.com page. Then if you're logged in, you should see a list of options across the bottom of the page, one of these is "add a new landscape". If you're not logged in, you won't see those options, but there should be a link that says "log in". Your id and password are the same as DG.

    Assuming I'm in the right place, I'm not seeing that. I do see an option to Log Out, so I assume I am logged in. I made a few screen shots to help. In addition, it might be helpful to know I'm on an Apple computer and I use Firefox. I've had problems here in and there with Firefox so that might be it. But I'm not sure I can even get explorer on an Apple computer??? In any case, my computer brainy husband doesn't let me use it even on our old PC. :)

    Here's the top screen shot: Huh, I can't post images here... eek. Well, I have the screen shots if someone wants them.

    The top screen is the standard Dave's Garden banner and navigation bar.
    Then I see about 12 response threads to something, perhaps the threads that go with each landscape photo group???
    Then I see about 40 landscape pictures with titles.
    After that I see the standard page bottom naviagation links: Home|About|Advertise|Mission|Acceptable Use Policy|Tour|Privacy Policy|Contact Us followed by links for Gardens.com, Blooms.com, Landscaping.com and Flickr

    You went in the wrong way--you have to go in through the main page at landscaping.com. Easiest way to get there is scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page pretty much anywhere on DG and you'll see a link there. When you go in that way, you won't be able to read the posts, but you can put in new landscapes. Then if you want to read posts, go in the way you've been going.

    Ohhh! Ok, I've never gone that way. And I did have to log in again but I can see the link to add a landscape now. I'll have to work on that tonight when there's nothing better to do. Thanks again for all your help everywhere ecrane3. You're everywhere I've been it seems!

    I had problems before also, it is still a problem. Was able to post my photos though, but I couldn't start a thread.

    If you want to start a thread, instead of going to Landscaping.com, you have to go in through DG...go to the "Guides and information" tab, then in the navigation panel on the left or right click on "landscaping". I know that doesn't change the fact that things aren't working right, but at least it's a back door way to do what you want to do.

    You cannot post until you register and login.
