PLEASE TAG YOUR COLD HARDY TOPICS
by PALM MOD- 12 replies
- 16.7k views
We would suggest tagging any new topics accordingly - with "Cold Hardy," in case it is ever deemed necessary to merge this new forum back into the main "Discussing Palms" forum. If that is done, Cold Hardy topics will always be easily accessible by using the tag feature.

Trying to log in using my phone and I keep getting error messages that the password for the user WaianaeCRider is wrong. Well that's NOT ME. I'm WaianaeCrider. I even went in and changed my password and still can't get in. I"ve been in before but everything on my phone got cleared and I have to log into everything all over. I'm using CROME on the phone. Keep trying to log in as WaianaeCrider but it keeps telling me password for the user WaianaeCRider is wrong. I even tried loging in as WaianaeCRider and it still gets rejected. I'm confused.

I don't know if this is where I can put suggestions, This might be something I personally want but others may want and find this useful too but having an app available on phones to be able to use the forums on mobile, I know you can log into the site on mobile browsers but it's kind of funky and it would be nice to receive notifications directly on my device and access Palm talk from anywhere on the go

Sticky threads
by Beachsider- 2 replies

Does this forum have sticky threads anywhere? Maybe I haven’t found them? I know the group has been around a long time. Have sticky threads ever been used in the past? I participate in another huge online community called Reef2Reef. It’s a huge forum like this one for marine aquariums. The sticky threads are used for rules of thumb for success in the hobby. How to do water changes, balancing general aquarium chemistry, husbandry and cultivation, pests, etc. It is useful for newbies and those user who may only drop in to ask a few questions because they don’t have to look far for answers for the most common questions. I asked a fertilizer question in another thread that pr…

Hi, I'm a casual user of Palmtalk so I'm not hoping to offend any of the more experienced members with my post. Is it only me who believes certain etiquette should be followed in forums? With this I mean the use of basic punctuation, proper spelling,... but also not using Palmtalk as your personal blog. Some user(s) fill the forum with new threads every few minutes, some even closely related to the previous one posted. I find some of that content interesting, some other not so much. At the end, the forum ends up looking like the feed of a social media platform or a personal blog. I enjoy using Palmtalk because of everything I can learn through the valuable exper…

is this Forum Software no longer compatible with modern phones? I’ve been trying to write posts but whenever I attach files the pictures come out black. I was really hoping that this forum could be an alternative to the Zuckerberg empire but it appears that the software is not able to upload photos from an iPhone. Attached is an example. Sorry if posted in wrong forum admin feel free to move to right place.

I'm wondering if it is acceptable on this website to make a post requesting palm photos from other members which I could use in a video I'm making It has nothing to do with marketing or money, it's a personal YT channel about plants If it is acceptable to make such a post, in which category of the forum should I do that? If not acceptable, do you have any suggestions who I could contact to ask about photos Thank you

fundraiser idea - prioritizing categories
by epiphyte- 0 replies

we all know the story of the tulip mania? plant trends are rather fascinating. what's the biggest plant trend in the past 50 years? i wouldn't be surprised if it was the recent trend in houseplants that happened as a result of covid and was facilitated by instagram. personally, i enjoyed this trend quite a bit since it created a huge supply of some of the plants i've been collecting for many years, such as aroids. before this trend, when i would see ecuagenera at local shows, they sold like 95% orchids and 5% aroids. now it's the complete opposite. imagine if they had initially sold 100% orchids, then they would have been too late on the houseplant trend…

PalmTalk Dark Theme

So instead of working today I spent the morning creating a dark theme for the site. Why a dark theme? Well for those of you who spend all day at a computer (like me), or like browsing the site in the evening (also me), dark themes are great for reducing strain on your eyes and won't keep your wife up all night while you browse palmtalk in bed. To use the theme, you have to install a browser plugin on your preferred web browser which can edit the sites styling (CSS) Stylish - Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Dissenter) Stylish - Firefox SuperStyles - Microsoft Edge Stylus - Opera Once the plugin is installed, copy and paste my…

3 line preview of forum topics?
by Merlyn- 6 replies
- 824 views
After the latest update all the forums defaulted to showing the topic and then a 3 line preview of the first post. This showed up on my Android tablet (Brave browser) a few days ago, and then showed up on my regular PC (Firefox browser) today. While this might be a nice feature to have as an option, I couldn't find a way to turn it off in my profile settings. I vaguely recall this happening a year or two ago, but can't recall what I did to "fix" it. I already tried logging out and back in, with no change. Any suggestions?

This is definitely turned on in settings. I certainly used to get emails for messages, and I still get emails for subscribed topics. Yes, I have checked that they're not ending up in the spam folder.

I'm just curious if anybody else is seeing any inappropriate advertising on the site? I have seen sexual content (nothing pornographic, just items for sale) and t-shirts with political nonsense. Admins, are there any controls around that sort of thing?

Piping Plovers want to sell me a plant, I want to send him my FedX shipping label, and I can't tell if it was attached. sent last night and the PM shows a box, that says the attached file. Should it show the specifics ie (like a picture view)? In other words, how do I know I was successful that it was attached. Cecile I did a private message and asked but I haven't heard back, but I should know how to work this system and do it correctly. Thank you. Cecile

Searching the forum
by Linescreamer- 6 replies
- 622 views
I come on the forum and try to search before I post questions. However, the site has a crazy search blocking timer. It keeps telling me to wait different times before I can look at the second page of the search results. I can never see the second page of the search results. Can this be fixed? It does render most of the past posts useless. Thank you
