So You Want To Add a Photo? 1 2 3
by John in Andalucia- 83 replies
- 37.1k views
PART I - UPLOADING A PHOTO Introduction Adding a photo to your forum post is really quite easy. First, some basic facts. To display a photo on the forum, you need to upload your photo(s) from your computer to the Internet. Photos are saved from your digital camera to a folder somewhere on your computer, so you need to be familiar with where they are stored. Photos are technically referred to as image files. Each image file has a unique name followed by a default image extension. For example, an image file from your camera might be labeled: HP0123.jpg The first part, "HP0123" is the file name, and ".jpg" is the extension. The extension represents a recognized image fil…

IPS FORUM LOGO FOR IPS MEMBERS
by PALM MOD- 11 replies
- 10.2k views
There has been a lot of requests recently asking how to get the IPS logo under your name when you post. First, of course, is you need to be an IPS member. Second, you need to let me know you are a member, and that you wish to have the logo displayed when you post. So if you PM me and give me some indication of your member status, I will check it out and make the neccesary changes. If you have just joined, let me know when, and if you can give me a copy of any confirmation you have received, I can initiate the changes more quickly. If you wish to join, click on the link at the very top of the page to the IPS Home Page.

How does one progress in the forum? Is it knowledge based or post based? Does status increase with responses, pictures, or posts? Is it activity based? Whatever it is, it is truly a blast and I love every minute on palm talk. It is informative and entrancing as well as entertaining. Take care every one and happy gardening. Daniel

trouble posting pictures
by NorCalWill- 8 replies
- 4.3k views
I posted a bunch of pictures a few weeks ago without any trouble, and now I am using the exact same technique (browsing my files and attaching them) and it doesn't work...I can't figure it out. I resized them all to the correct size and everything...I don't get it. So I uploaded a picture onto "Photobucket" and copied the address, and put it in my post....and....the address shows up in my post and not the picture, so people have to click on the address to see the pic... What am I doing wrong?

Posted: Mar. 02 2005,01:43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POSTING PHOTOS IN A MESSAGE: Look at the bottom of the message-composing window and you will see a blank box with a 'browse' button to the right of it. From that you can locate a file on your own computer and upload it directly to the Website. Note: you can not PREVIEW the message when including a photo in it. It won't post this way and you'll have to start over. ALSO, since the picture will be stored on the IPS web space, so image files must be 100k or smaller in size; this is plenty big for a good .jpg file about 500-600 pixels wide. …

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!

Convenient Forum Features
by PALM MOD- 1 reply
- 3.1k views
How do you view the forum? Do you log in, click on "Discussing Palm Trees Worldwide," and peruse the topics one at a time, trying to remember what interested you, or whether you entered a comment that should have elicited a response? Then when you are done, you may or may not click on another forum, and do the same thing? More often than not, do you just log out, leaving many of the other forums unread? Apparently this is what many members do, because the other forums are visited far less often. And that is something many of you have found lacking. It has been coming to my attention that some of the Forum's most convenient features go unused. Features that are designed t…

Phoenix canariensis with Yellow leaves
by Fabione- 1 reply
- 3k views
Hello, I would like to understand why the intermediate leaves of my Phoenix canariensis are becoming yellow. I have it for 4 years in my garden 3 km from Ligurian Sea in the Mediterranean and I treat it monthly with specific products against rincoforus like Runner and Nuprid directly in the ground and on the core. Could the reason be some virus or micro fungus or even lack of chimicals in the ground ? Thank you in advance Fabio
