Thank you
I had some fears that I might not. But I had several other Moms email the Admins and Ning too. I found out I am not teh only on having problems with delay messages fo logging on. Ning is working with Comcast. Comcast is the one having issues. And I am a Comcast customer. Have to share. Comcast is awesome, but when they have a problem - it is always major. But when they work on it - Comcast has fixed it. Hope they can this time too.
havea nice evening all TLynn

But when you log onto your personal page - at the top is a line of sites you can go to for hlep; Main, Invite, etc. Try clicking on forums and leave a messge in the advice area. Replys get back fast. Maybe you can find an answer. Good luck.
