Is anyone else having trouble logging in? It keeps telling me my info is incorrect, when I know it's not.

Sylvia -- I can't get on either. Seems they've once again redsigned the site. I wrote a note advising them that you and I can't get online. Maybe someone will contact one of us :) Gretchen
I just tried and got into BrugBuds and the ABADS site. No problem.
I've had problems, severaly times this week, getting to DG. I figured it was my dial up, but several with cable have had the same problem...
I couldn't get into ABADS, had to re-register, and am waiting for approval?! I got in yesterday, today everything is different.

Still no luck here...
I got in just fine just a few minutes ago! But it does say that on Sunday they are moving to ABADS.org
You need to register at the new site even if you were registered at Brug Buds. Yes, you will need to be "approved" again....lol.
Well, I think I'm done with them. This is the 3rd time this has happened since I've been a member. I'm starting to believe that they're trying to weed out people they don't want on their site. Fine with me... and, I did not have a choice of the old or new site, only the new one, and it would not let me online, even after I re-registered!
I got in this evening, major changes with the layout. After I re-registered, it still took the rest of the day.
I am sorry some of you were having difficulty, but I was away from the computer all day at my daughters wedding rehearsal. When you register for the new site, it sends you and me both an email. In your email it states
"Your account is currently inactive, the administrator of the board will need to activate it before you can log in. You will receive another email when this has occured."
Once I have approved the registration request, you should be able to log in to the forums with no problem. There is also a "members exclusive" area that is accessed through a different password system, and I have to input those passwords manually, so after you register for the forums, please also send me an email with the username/password combination you would like to use for the members exclusive features.
We are not trying to weed out members at all, sorry you feel that way, we welcome any and all into ABADS. Apparently you just misunderstood the system for signing up over at the new site. You have to re-register at the new site and await that registration to be approved before you can get into the site.

Ohhhhhh so it is you, Mary! 30 lashes with a wet brug. LOL We forgive you Mary! But only if you post pictures of your daughter's wedding for all of us.
I just knew ABADs would never do what you thought, Gretchen. First of all, who wouldn't want you and second they seem to be totally apolitical to me!
thanks Kell!
The transitition to the new site serves two purposes. Cost reduction and having our forums on our own servers. Please be patient with us as we make the transition from the old site to the new one. We are working very hard behind the scenes to make things better for all of our members.
Mary has done a beautiful job of putting the new forums together and should be congratulated and thanked for all of her hard (non-paid) work. And yes, Mary, we want to see wedding pictures.
Is this the big weekend Mary??? I agree with Kell and MzM....we want pictures!!!
Well,l I'm glad to find out I haven't been banned. At least I don't think so, even though when I tried again this morning I still couldn't get in.
Would someone post the sign up addys for BrugBuds and ABADS??? I would like to subscribe. TIA!!!
Mary:
Sorry for all the trouble I seem to be causing you... I was very frustrated last night, and apologize for venting so loudly. Thank you for your help and I hope the wedding is a truly blessed event!

Here is the link to ABADS:

Hope this is helpful - Gretchen
Gretchen...thank you for the link...I will look into it too!
Do many of you belong to the organization & forum ?
What do you think of it? Just wondering if I should join. I do not/can not spend any more internet time on the computer than I do now....or I will be ignoring my DH and home more than I do now!! :=)))
It is hard Margie, I do not get to all the forums I belong to as it is. But ABADS is great and so much fun. I get to post my animated gif files there and it really makes for a fun forum.
MZ Munchkin is the VP over there and Mary what are you? She is a big deal too I am sure! And Susie has a great position also.
Even if you do not join, go check out their gallery and their information pages. It is a beautiful site. The American Brugmansia and Datura Society is the Official
'International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA)'
for Brugmansia and Datura.
That is so special ABADS were awarded this honor!
Mary is the registrar, I believe. And she designed the website and did a fantastic job!
Check it out.
I am hoping to have a few of my brugs registered someday.

Okay, here are the wedding pics I snapped with my digital, I know the ones from the photographer will be much nicer.

Got some real cute pics of Theo (my fiance) dancing with Hope (my granddaughter)
You did good Mary! I especially love the one of the 3 girls and the toast, the window is nice! My she found a tall one didn't she?
Did I see a brug in her hair?
Your daughter is a beautiful bride, Mary!! And your son-in-law is one big dude! LOL. Theo look so nice and your granddaughter is truly a living doll. You look so proud and just lovely in that dress. CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for sharing them with us all.
Oh Mary! Everything just looks beautiful! Yall look so happy! I have to agree with Kell! You SIL is tall! Congratulations!!!
Mary, wonder pictures. You daughter is beautiful but I'm afraid you'll have to look up to your SIL. LOL He sure is a tall one. Great shots of Theo and your grand daughter. She's so pretty.
All are great pictures, but I really like the one of your daughter and the two flowergirls. Theo and Hope dancing is a great picture too. I'll bet you are ready to kick back and relax for a while now. The cake was beautiful and everyone looks so nice in the pictures. What a gorgeous stained glass window in the church. I really enjoyed these pictures. Thanks Mary, for sharing the special day with us all.
Mary, thank you for sharing the pictures. They are pretty!!!
Your daughter is a beautiful bride.
I still can't get into ABADS. It tells me my password is incorrect so I click I forgot my password. Then it tells me my e-mail addy isn't listed. What do I need to do?
ada, I would e-mail Mary .
hugz, >^,,^< SB
Ada, did you try to re-register? I was trying to just log in and was getting no where. Brinda helped me get squared away. I know of one other person who couldn't get the re-registration to work, so if it doesn't work for you, don't feel lonely. Like Scoot said, just email Mary for help. Good Luck. Doesn't it just irk you when things don't go like they are supposed to???? It can totally ruin my day. LOL!
LOL.....a newbie like me helping Brugie! Who'd a thought it? LOL Just trying to repay you Shirley for all the help you've provided me! But, that will probably take me about 20 years to get you repaid! LOL (And sooooo happy I could help)
Mary your daughter is lovely, very nice pictures thnak you for sharing so a sweet day with us.
Mary, lovely wedding. Beautiful bride and handsome groom. Looks like all were having a great time. Best Wishes.
ahelms - I also was having problems but emailed Mary and today all works fine. Will I recognize your user name there?
Linda
I'm still trying. LOL
lhughes, I'm the same person there also. LOL
