   NEW RATING SERVICE FOR NURSERIES AND GROWERS 1 2

   Allowing comments about nurseries and growers in the "Discussing Palms" forum has turned into a fiasco. Not only is it off-topic to what we would like to discuss in that forum, it has turned into a disrespectful free for all. The IPS wants to allow feedback on growers, so that buyers can get some idea of who they are dealing with when they find a nursery here or elsewhere. So, in order to provide some order, and to provide a more worthwhile service, we are instituting a new area that will be used exclusively for the discussion of those who sell seeds and/or palms. In addition it will contain a rating system for individual nurseries and backyard growers. Jungle Music…

   What is going on with Pictures on this Board?

   I was late in reviewing Jeff Searle's Sale Thread and when I finally made it all the pictures are gone.This was very diappointing because I know the quality of Jeff's Sales as augmented by pictures put forward outstandingly by Palmarum. This morning I am told by another Member that all pictures on my second Royals Gone Wild have disappeared and are not viewable.The Dialog is in place like Jeff's but the Photos are gone. This is strange because I can view them on my computer.Any ideas about what is going on?

    GOOD NEWS-LARGER PHOTOS

    February 1, 2008 by PALM MOD

    • 7.7k views

    Previously the only way to post photos larger than 100 kb was to use a hosting service such as Photo Bucket. The direct attachment to your post by uploading to PalmTalk was restricted to files under that size. Now, for IPS Members only, we have found a way to allow photo sizes of up to 250 kb to be attached to your posts, and avoid the need for a hosting service. In fact, we would encourage you to post photos this way, so that PalmTalk will never lose photos if members change hosting services, or purge their libraries. You will need to be an IPS Member to take advantage of this new benefit. Please consider doing so. To learn more about the IPS, or to sign up, you c…

    Try a search for 'San Diego Zoo'. Notice two of those words have only three letters, which seems to stupefy the search engine.

    too many quotes rule in PM's

    OK, has anyone else been annoyed by the "too many quotes" notice in PM's? I correspond with many forum members via the PM, not email. After 3 or so replies the quotes build up, and then the software dosen't like it and I have to delete all the previous comments just to get the PM to go through. Then all our previous correspondance is lost. Can we turn that feature off?

    The "friends" Feature

    I got a message that I was added as a friend my another forum member. I said - wow - new feature! So I started adding forum members as friends too. Basically the regulars that respond to my posts and vice versa. I don't mean to exclude anyone ok, I consider everyone on the forum as my friend But beyond the things that we associate with the term "friend" - what excactly are the intended uses of the feature? Note : I never got the hang of sites like Friendster, My Space, Face Book and other social networking site so please educate me on this.

    PalmTalk getting slower and slower

    Okay...is it just me, or does opening PalmTalk nowadays seem to take at least four times as long to load as it ever did BEFORE it was changed over to php? I'm thinking it has a LOT to do with the fact that Palmtalk is now hosting WAY more pictures on its server than it ever did before. All I can say is.....it's REALLY getting slow in here. Dean.....have you noticed this also? Anyone else?

    Travel Logs Discussion

    Presently we have a Travel Logs section that mentions in it's description "Botanical Gardens" among other things. We created it after member suggestion and discussion, due to so many nice travel topics appearing in "Discussing Palms." So as long as we have it, we should use it as intended and described. I have not been as strict when enforcing these guidelines as I could/should be, and there is a gray area. I can not read every post anymore. I can't even read every thread anymore. I skim as best I can, but may miss things. So I encourage and appreciate when members report items to me that may need correcting. Consider yourselves as mini-moderators. Please use the "repo…
