Photo Contest Update! Important Info!

In light of much confusion (and perhaps bad instructions at the outset of the contest) we'd like to provide an update to our Fall Photo Contest.

Here's what we're going to do:

Gather all images that are on the original blog post, and gather all images you send to us via email.

Yes, that's right. Please send us your photos via email (andrew@loghome.com or editor@loghomeliving.com)

We figure this will be eas… Continue

Got a Question? We've Got Answers!

Though we try to make using the features of our Neighborhood as intuitive as possible, we understand that sometimes things are just tricky to figure out.

Well, we're trying to fix that.

A few weeks ago, Rita and Joe Hickey asked us to create a "How-To" type of guide for the Log Home Neighborhood. And it was an awesome idea. The problem is, we're not exactly sure what questions were out there that needed to be answered.

So we creat… Continue

Hello Host, I was wandering if you could help, my box in the right corner that alerts me of inbox mail and other things is not working for sure on the mail alert, also for the last say 2 months or so my name has not been posting on the latest activity collumn and other places, it always post as " you left a comment " It always used to post as Greg Beck everthing I did, I'm starting to think there's a consperacy going on. Thanks for you help, looking foward to your reply.

WOW! It seems that Amerilink has negatively affected just about every member of our elite group. It's a terrible situation and it would seem that almost all the comments recently deal with the unethical practices of this company. Those of us who have not been affected would like to know what happened to bring on this catastrophe.

It seems that until the affected members get a resolution to their specific problems we will not be able to get back to business as usual.

So I ask someone in charge of this web forum to please give the rest of the members a course on what we should be looking for or better still looking out for when considering a log home. manufacturer.

Mr. Friendly Neighborhood Host - I was just telling Michael that since the forum is nearing 1000 members - should we have a milestone party? Something fun to commemorate the event?

Not sure how to add a photo, specifically for the contest? Can anyone help me?

Hey, Am I imaging this or not. It seems that a good number of members who are also representing various log home manufacturers are using this forum to advertise their wares. I was under the impression that we were here to help each other and not to sell products to each other. I realize that it often is a fine line but other times it's just blatant.

If I'm wrong, please correct me. If I'm right how do we get back to basics?
