Try going to the home page, scroll all the way down there is a place that says letters and comments.
Hope this helps

oh well you can scroll down to the bottom of this page.

I tried the letters and comments but it keeps telling me there is an error and won't let me submit the message. I don't see anything at the bottom of this page except to post a message which I have already done, so I guess I'll just have to sit back and wait for my cancelled checks to come to see if it has cleared.

Thanks anyway!

Beada - Has you check cleared your bank? If not, it is probably "lost in the mail."

Did you include your member name and your email address on the check? That is required for Garden Web to process your membership.

To send an email about your problem (if you are certain you check has cleared), use this address...

members@gardenweb.com

When you email them, be sure to include your member name, your email address, and all pertinent information that is on the check. That will make it easier for them to track it.

This just happened to me...I sent my check in plenty of time and it didn't get there and didn't get there. So...I figured it was lost in the mail and sent another one. Then..the first one showed up...I'm paid up for two years. Wait until the last minute before you do anything..maybe they get those checks and don't get them run through their books for a time. Who knows...but, it's too much of a coincidence that the same thing happened to me also. I can't say that I particularly "wanted" to be signed up for two years, but that's where I'm at....

Beada - I copied your message and sent it in on the main page. I don't know if it will get to Spike or not, but I gave it a shot. Hope it gets staightened out soon.

Well, I can rest easy now. I just got an e-mail today saying that they received my check. OK, so it took 33 days for it to get there, but at least it got there. Thanks to EVERYONE for the suggestions and especially to Barb for taking the ball and running with it. I don't seem to get here as often as I used to, but when I do, I just love all of the friendly help that people are so willing to give. I'm sure I will sleep better tonight knowing that I will be able to access it for another year! Thanks again everyone1

Beada...I don't think they tell you it is received until after they are sure the check has cleared your bank...I'm sure it didn't take that long to get there...

My notice was up for a long time too..Maybe he is just really busy...Glad it is all cleared up for you....

Beada - All is well. I just checked your membership date and it now runs through January 2, 2006!

Mine seemed to take forever also. I'm not getting the going to expire message anymore, but my check has not cleared my bank as yet.
