I have contacted the administrators. I am not able to type in & post anything on your thread. I have refreshed the site and my computer - no luck. Also, when I just went into the thread, I could read but there were no names. It just said "Member." This is only on your thread - crazy. BethL

    I just posted and had no trouble. Perhaps turn your computer or phone off for a few moments, then reboot? This has often helped me out.

    More maybe's: Restart your browser. Try a different browser. Clear cookies for alzconnected.org. Restarting your computer should probably be last unless you don't mind losing the context on your desktop.

    Thank you everyone.

    Issue # 1 I reported earlier today - unable to leave a comment on “Just need to talk with my friends” thread.Issue #2 is that I can still read the thread, but there are no names of the posters. Just says “Member.”

    This issue for me only applies to this one thread. I can post and see names of the posters on any other thread.

    Tried several things, will try above. Also tried on a different device (iPhone vs Mac) but since both are Apple devices they communicate and I have the same issue. I should try my Kindle.

    @BethL

    This is exactly what happened to me the other day. It's happened a couple times.

    I reached out to the website moderator and Maria got back to me quickly. They did rectify the situation quickly but aren't sure what's going on. One thing she was interested in was the device I was using, the browser and they'd love a screen shot if you could send one.

    Beth - this happened to me as well maybe a month ago. I reached out to the moderators and Maria got back to me quickly. I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but it did get fixed. Like @harshedbuzz I sent in screenshots.

    Beth, years ago when they would work on or make changes to the forum I was unable to post. They finally.figured out that I would be able to if I clicked on the circle with an arrow on it. That is located in the upper left on my table. It worked but this may be something different

    I tried on my Kindle - it obviously isn't synched with the Apple laptop and phone. Same thing. Wondered if it was something to do with my password so changed that. Didn't work. Looking forward to hearing from Admin.

    Hello Friends, Admin emailed and said they would work on the issue. What is crazy is that I can post on any thread but ours on the porch. 🤔

    If I cannot get back on to post, I'll be able to when the thread renews next month. I can read, and even though names on the posts are not there (says "Member"), I can figure out who is posting by what you all write. I know you well!

    Bought mulch yesterday and mulched around trees and the flower and vegetable gardens. More of same today. Hugs, Beth

    Hi Beth. We'll find you here. That is so strange that you are able to post on other threads! See you back on the porch soon. xo

    Morning Beth!

    I'm up too and have thus far sprayed the Bee Balm for powdery mildew, fed the geese, watched the barn swallows feed the babies, 1 load of laundry, did a "good enough for today" quick run thru the house to straighten up/put away, and now thinking about what to do for dinner.
