I can no longer go back into the archives. Were they removed permanently or is there a problem with them?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and having alot of cramping and major back pains.I also all of a sudden have no morning sickness anymore. I read on a site that these could be signs of a miscarriage. Is it possible or are these normal feelings?

Updating Profile and More

tburge69 — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 10:21:21 GMT

Good Morning,

I tried sending an email however it was returened but anyhow, I was wondering how I can make changes to my profile, perhaps adding a photo or something alos I notice that when I post something the time that shows it was posted is incorrect, for example I posted something last evening and it showed that it was posted at 2:30am why is this and can it be fix, is it an error on my part or yours?

Thanks

OMG I didn't have to log in!

violet1amythest — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:44:32 GMT

Thank you. It was becomming such a pain in the butt to have to keep logging in abytime I wanted to post, which really reduced my postings since I couldn't be bothered or was given errors. But that's all done now. At least I hope it is anyway.

Due Dates

mapsgirl — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 08:30:09 GMT

Hello Technical people!

As I read thru the posts on the Due Date Roll Call thread, I saw the one aboud adding my due date to my "control panel".

I tried. But 2007 isn't in the list yet. Could you please let me know when this is completed so I can add my due date? I'm the first 2007 due date (i'm just a little excited )

Thanks!
Wendy

Not able to preview or remembered when logging in

violet1amythest — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 14:11:29 GMT

The first time I signed in I checked the remember me thingy and when I came back in today I had to relogin again. I also wanted to preview my post to see if my link worked right but it just took me to the same page I was typing on and didn't actually preview it. Is it just me or is there a problem?

"As for the login issue. It is something I've been emailing the web guys about daily and I will make sure if something can be done that it is.

I hope you all will be patient I hope to post some kind of update or resolution to this login problem by the end of the week."

Khrystyne you posted this a few weeks ago, and maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen an update and the function still doesn't work for me?

Just curious.

OMG - Oh my goodness (god, gosh...)

A suggestion

rdtm — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 17:45:57 GMT

Being that there are many new people on the site everyday I thought it might be a good idea to pin a topic regarding abbreviations and their meanings so new people don't feel out of the loop.

It needs to be pinned so it stays on top!

Where did everyone go?

rdtm — Thu, 11 May 2006 16:44:40 GMT

I seem to notice that since you changed the site I barely recognize any of the old sign in names???

Are the old crew boycotting the new site?

I just notice that there aren't nearly as many people on this site anymore, if you post a question you barely get answers unlike before...something must be up.

Notice of PMs?

mapsgirl — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 15:14:39 GMT

I just wanted the web people to know that I"m not receiving email messages that I have recieved any private messages.

Please advise!

THanks,
Wendy

MAJOR Issues

myiris55 — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 12:29:46 GMT

Okay, I have been having big problems with this site since slightly before it's been revamped. I've been a member of Parents Canada for a few months now, and I haven't been able to post a new message or reply to anything in ages. I also have major problems logging on. And before any of you blame my computer, I've tried at other computers as well. And I have a degree in computer systems, so you can't really confuse me with jargon. I want to know why I am having such problems, am I being blocked somehow? I'd appreciate a response.

Why is the wrong time showing next to my post

2boys4me — Thu, 04 May 2006 10:49:56 GMT

Hi there,

I just became a member and introduced myself in the misc. section. When my post came up I noticed the time says it's 3 pm but it's only 10 am. The actual time on my computer is correct. How do I fix this?

Please remember you can edit and delete your own posts. So don't create a new thread becuase you messed up the first time.

Also keep in mind the "Report" button works if you need it.

Adding another section

violet1amythest — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 14:13:57 GMT

Can we also get a new section for people wanting to sell things or are in search of things. It can be an online yard sale kinda thing.

Just because another member says it’s true does not mean it is so.

When reading posts from other members, please do not believe everything you read, and put any negative comments in the context of other information you have. Remember that very few, if any, businesses can claim to have 100% customer satisfaction. Please do not participate in threads that violate our policies as this only draws more attention to the thread by keeping it at the top of the forum.

If you are a vendor, but are also a parent, please feel free to participate in all sections of the Forums but do not refer to your professional products or services at any time.

Signature Policy
