Hello Jackie, You mean to tell me that you went through all that. Man, that takes a while, because I just keep adding to it as we go. This log home project is slow going, and it's cutting into all my other piddling stuff. Anyway, thanks for looking…

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

I entered the discussion and text then tried to add and it said "Please write the first post for the discussion". So I'm not sure how to do that. Also when I came to your page, the left side under building systems is all drug adds. I think its been hacked.

Does that mean if I was viewing my comments fron someone elses computer I would see " Greg Beck" made a comment or would I still see " you left a comment" ??????? I'll leave it alone at your last reply, Thank you

At 10:25am on April 3, 2009, Greg Beck said…: 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.

At 10:50pm on January 13, 2009, Ted said…: 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.
