   Hi, I seem to be on Warn Status. Can someone tell me what this means? Have I done something wrong...or, is this sort of a probation period for new members?

   Searching for binomials

   August 17, 2010 by Breadfruit Bill

   Let's say I want to search for a specific palm using its binomial... For example Dypsis rivularis. I don't want a list of every time either search words have been used; all of the dypsis threads or a slew of Ravanea threads pertaining to rivularis... I am specifically targeting "Dypsis rivularis" Is there a way to accomplish this? Like using quotes around the nomenclature or a plus symbol between the two parts of the name? Any ideas?

   help me search for a photo

   hey, i'm new on the forum and wanted to ask for some help on how to search for a thread. The thread I'm looking for has photos/info about the recent palm sale by SFPS at Montgomery Botanical Center. It has a photo of a Coccothrinax Crinita wearing glasses that I wanted to show a friend... It'd be nice if I could just find all the past threads of the SFPS Palm sales at MBC. If theres anyone out there that can give me link of those threads that'd be awesome.

    Multi quote

    Is it just me or am I observing a multi quote being used alot when not needed!!! I have seen threads take for ever to load because of posters using it with big pic downloads! Why use multi quote when it does NOT help us understand your post? There are only a handful of members using it in a way that is rediculess! Most members use it only to enhance the understanding of thier post. Am I the only one that feels this way? Randy Paul I need that dictionary!

    How to use this forum fast and effectively

    Hi All, The palm talk forum website is very powerful and has an enormous amount of information. The only problem I see is that when you first start up you need to know where to look, to know how to use it. Most of the information is there but not in one location. Would it be possible for a basic document to be created that documents all the features and the best ways to enjoy the forum. I am still finding ways to do things on the forum and cannot find if they are documented. The search engine does not always work, for instance search for 'Reputation' (which I still don't understand what this rating is) and the search engine does not find any threads or posts rele…
