I'm so excited to finally get on board. I have a. Passion for all Pearls. I have a collection from 8 yrs ago of Vintage necklaces and many loose vintage pearls from broken necklaces I came across at 2nd hand stores. I stopped collecting and I need help from your expertise on what is what pearls I have before offering them on my seller app.

Dear Cathy
I am really saddened to see you go...really.
I believe the issue is totally on the browser and not on the forum, so there is not much I can do but offer suggestions.

Also, there is nothing really that "new" it's still the same forum but there are things like the new "Camera Icon" feature that actually make it BETTER than before.

I hope you stick to the forum...I will be saddened if you don't. :(

How is Walter doing? How are you doing? Did you get your shots?

I'm sorry to hear that. I know your heart is in the right place. However, if the problem was my browser, it would change if I change browsers and I've tried 3. If it was my laptop settings OR browser settings, it would affect other websites and software. It's not; it's only Pearl-Guide and only since the update. The opening page doesn't display correctly either. BWeaves has the same exact issues. Every programer I worked with for 30 years made all the fonts smaller so more would fit on phone screens etc., and we'd have to go make them fix the issue. Or the programer's settings are off for Mac OS? I'm not a programer but that is my educated guess. My phone displays the opening page somewhat better, but of course everything else is even smaller, on a tiny screen, so that's not an option except when traveling without a laptop. I only spoke up to document what I was seeing, and that it matched what BWeaves is struggling with, NOT to complain. I am more than willing to learn new issues, and also to wait patiently for issues to be addressed, to be glad if some things are improved and I CERTAINLY understand the need for better security. Clearly there is no Pearl Guide solution for the small fonts many of us have spoken about, nor for me.. I leave this message privately as it is not my intention to bring complaints nor negativity to this forum. Heartbroken. We are okay, have had 2 covid shots each, and nothing else changes because we are still a danger to our daughter and grandson for whom there are no vaccines, even though our son-in-law is a paramedic and treats covid patients every day. He's vaccinated, but not the family. I pray their futures will be better than ours. You're always welcome to find me on Facebook or email of course. Be well and be safe.

Hi Douglas,
It seems it's been solved yesterday evening CET. I don't have that problem anymore. Thank you and have a nice day.

BTW Marianne...
did you try using the instructions I posted on the thread about the issues of the upgrade? I posted about font resizing on Safari.

If not...please let me know so you can try that (will send you the link) and see if that helps!

Thank you again!

Hi Douglas. I have my font settings in Mac Preferences at nothing smaller than 12. Seems to work on other platforms, but not PG yet. Congratulations on doing such a wonderful job as moderator. Hugs,

Hello StarryPearl :)

Are you still experiencing the "editing" issue?
If so...PLEASE:
1) Send me a screenshot of the problem
2) Tell me what web-browser you are using and
3) Operating system or phone system

We have already fixed several issues and now moving to fix the last ones.

Thank you!

Hi Douglas,
Yes, I do.
I just posted the screenshot in that thread.
I'm using Google Chrome.
It's Windows 10 (Professional I believe).

Thank you so much for you and the team's hard work! And thank you so much for your super informative reply to my questions. It is so fun to read and learn your experiences. It's my birthday today and I am taking the course 68% and can't believe I am messaging with THE Douglas in the course. :p

Take care.

Hi I purchased several "Mikimoto" items on Ebay that turned out to be fake. Spent about 40 hours with eBay and going through listings to point out fake listings. They did little to nothing about it. In the meantime I purchase a gold bow/pearl clasp strand of pearls. Its is marked 14k and I would have thought it was real but the jewelry store that sold it was very vague. Can anyone tell me if my clasp is real?

Hi Barry, you sent a message to yourself and not a post. But, used pearls do not resell well, so I would not count on getting much money for them. Try looking at eBay to get an idea of prices. Good Luck.
