I am here b/c I am interested in asking a question about Unger Brothers. For ease I was attempting to reply to an Unger Brothers thread but it may be better I start my own here since I am not approved there.

I collect silver, notably silver panda coins and I've begun collecting victorian and art nouveau lockets. I am located in the USA. I attempted to follow the instructions to post a picture and it will not allow me to log in to the photo gallery using my user name and password. any assistance is appreciated.

Please be more specific. I have read them and it took me to a page on how to post pictures which had a link to the SM galleries. It will not let me log in.

We just looked up your Id/PW. And used it to log in to the Gallery. It is case sensitive and don't make the mistake of adding a trailing blank.

Everything you need to know about getting access to the other forums is in the Guidelines.

There is some type of problem. I reset my password in order to gain access to the photos gallery. I uploaded and posted a photo, but in order to post the photo and msg on a forum, it would not allow me to log in using the new password I just created and used to log in to upload the photo. In order to post on this forum, I had to again reset the password for a 3 time.

The Forums and the Gallery are separate programs. When you first join the Forums, the ID/PW are set the same for both. From that point forward what the password for each is, is under your control. So you decide whether they stay the same.

Hello Bonsai
It is interesting to see others having problems with their posts.As I have said before ,this forum is not user friendly,and in my opinion the clumsiest forum .All that Scott keeps telling members is to read GUIDELINES,
we must all be very dumb ,reading the guidelines is not the issue ,it is the way the site is designed ,while we are trying to do things ,we never know where we are and where we go next,and when we do what we think is correct we a rejected for some silly reason (that we did not know what was going on,while we were ,going through all the silly procedures)

Regards freddy.

It is very hard to 'participate' and be consitent with the rules when you are not allowed to participate. I generally assume that they just don't want any other information than that which is already in the group. It has been sad. i have wanted to participate here since about 2010. Too hard to navigate the byzantine corridors.....
