My Profile Editing

feeds@kickapps.com (HavinsMom) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:00:48 GMT

Hello everyone, I'm new and have been trying to edit my profile but every time I finish and hit "done" I keep getting a message stating that there has been a error and everything I just typed has been deleted. I have tried this 3 times now and needless to say my slow computer is helping me out much.

Thanks for your help
