Hi there, I am new at this place, although not about palms. I see quite a few forum members belong to the 'IPS Members Group', which appears below their PalmTalk avatar with the IPS logo. How could I join there?. I am a life IPS member for years. Thanks!

user's avatars
by Pivi- 8 replies

I just noticed that some users use very large avatars that are just scaled down to apropriate size. For example, Surferjr's avatar has 908 kb, 1024px × 861px. Can something be done regarding that... it just slows the forum...

I just logged into Palmtalk, and all the threads have the inital post with pictures etc, but everything after that is in a list at the bottom of the page that I have to click on to see.

I wanted to look up the PRA that we did to the SD Zoo and because all, or any, of the words in the title are under 4 characters it won't do it. I think the thread was called PRA to the SD Zoo. You can't search for PRA, SD, or ZOO. Can that be fixed?

Editing
by gsn- 2 replies
- 1.6k views
I know that regular palm talk members can only edit up to 30 minutes after the original post and the edit time is shown. I also know that for IPS members it does not show it was edited, or the time it was edited when they change something in their post. My question is do they have the same 30 minutes to edit, or is it a longer period of time? The reason I ask this question is, because in some recent threads, it seems I read them one day and they say one thing, then read them at a later time or the next day ,and the post has changed considerably? thanks

NEW RATING SERVICE FOR NURSERIES AND GROWERS 1 2
by PALM MOD- 45 replies
- 7.6k views
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…

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
by PALM MOD- 30 replies
- 7.9k 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…

too many quotes rule in PM's

- 13 replies
- 2.9k views
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?
