1) Thanks, the workaround for weight was what I was looking for
2) I joined GR early Jan, iirc (but my mind is like a steel trap - rusty, dangerous, and illegal in many states). I did peruse the discussions on the issue and see there were similar problems; but they seem to be cleared up for most now ... just not me (I rarely seem to have *easy* issues).
I did change email addresses on GR and the projects themselves - in order to tie everything together at GR... I'm not sure if I wound up changing the username at GR or not ...
