Linda, it seemed to work for me, after it barked at me to enter my birthday. Maybe it's doing that to you, too? Personally I don't think it's any of their business when my birthday is, but I had to enter something in order to save the changes.

Linda, I had the same issue last night. I changed/ edit my preference to allow for emails, it appeared to accept the change, then I went back to check and the preferences reverted back to the original settings. I haven't looked at my member page today...better see what's up.
I sent an email to the garden web for assistance, you may want to try the same.

Hi Donna, yes, it kept asking for my birthday too. I put in the day but not the year and it coninued to ask. Maybe that was the problem. Like you, I don't see any reason to put the year in.

Valarie, I was doing the same thing, allowing for emails though this site. As you suggested, I did send an email to the administrator.

Thanks, ladies.
Linda

Well, I heard back from GW and as you suggested Donna, it was the fact that I had not put in a birthdate. Apparently it is needed for a legality regarding protection of childhood privacy. Rosa, who had replied to my email, put in a fictitious one and now it is fine. You can also opt to not have the birthdate show on your page by checking the appropriate box at the bottom of the page.
