   Content redaction as a result of ToS changes

   As the IPS is changing the ToS, there must be a means by which a user may redact or remove old content he or she does not want to fall under the new ToS. I cannot seem to find this feature. Surely we ought to be able to select which of our self generated content we are happy to surrender under the new terms and which content we choose not to, and so redact from the site. In the absence of such a feature, I think it would be acceptable to allow users to delete all their past contributions or at least sequester them until such time as a more selective approach to content publishing if offered to the membership. Offering these kinds of features is not unusual - in fact, …

   Spell check not working on Firefox + Mac OSX

   Dean, I don't know how much control you have over what goes on with ip.board, and if you can do some HTML/JavaScript tweaking, but the CK editor used by the board is improperly implemented for Firefox on OSX. The CK Editor plugin that ip.board uses requires a declaration "config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false" otherwise the native editor in Mac OSX that firefox leverages won't work. That needs to be in the config file for the editor. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13336998/how-to-make-spell-checker-work-for-ckeditor-wysiwyg-editor, it spells out how to fix the problem.

    Poor site performance

    Why is it that PalmTalk regularely fails to load after around 10PM PDT, and especially on Friday and Saturday evenings? Do you guys have some sort of service level agreements? If so, you may want to check to see if your provider is violating them.

    Tagging feature for photos?

    September 27, 2013 by Kim

    On certain popular websites, you can "tag" a photo by clicking on a point, and a bar will pop up where a name can be inserted. After tagging is complete, you can mouse over the photo, and the names will appear; remove the mouse and they disappear again. Wouldn't that be a superb tool for "tagging" the various palms in garden photos? Is that a possible add-on to this site, Mr. Palm Mod?

    When navigating between the subforums, I often click on the colorful PalmTalk banner at the top of the page. Now when I do that, I get instantly logged out. Not normal. I also get kicked out when I click on the PalmTalk.org tab at the top of the page.

    Hello! I have been off the Palm Talk for years and am listed as a member, but I cannot start a new thread to list palms for sale. It said to contact the "Moderator" but there really isn't anyone listed as "Moderator" so I contacted what seemed to be the most correct choice for all of the "administrator's" available. Any help out there on contacting someone who can permit me to list a palm for sale? Thank in advance!! James

    The PalmTalk Web Committtee has decided to institute a new policy directed at curbing some of the rude, impolite, and hostile behavior floating around the Forum lately. It is a refinement of an existing policy, and one we wish to make sure everyone is aware of. It could be considered a "Three Strikes You're Out" policy. Those members who can not abide by the few and simple guidelines we have here will be issued an unofficial warning to make sure they understand they are in danger of receiving an "official" warning. The first official warning will result in a one week suspension, the second is a two week suspension, and with a third one you're gone. Your can view your "…

    If there's an administrator reading this, I wonder if there is content that is not open to everyone? I'm going through old posts (2007) and often try links that are within a post, only to get a "404 Error Access Denied" message. This link, for example, posted by MattyB: my greenhouse II thread Can you help me understand? id like to read old posts when theycome up. Thanks, JT

    Dean, thanks for setting the board so you can see who gave you Reputation. I was always curious. Before when you clicked on the button to see you ended up giving yourself additional reputation . Also, who is the user "IPS"? Thanks Dean.

    Question for RLR

    Robert, I've noticed on my computer with the new Site that sometimes the text and pictures take up about two monitor frame widths. And, I have a 23 inch monitor. It gets frustrating to keep going back and forth to see what is written. But, sometimes on other posts it's all in the screen. Is this at your end? Or, do I need to do something at my end? I didn't have this problem with the old Server. Or, perhaps I've missed a discussion on this previously. Phil

    Hi Palm mod, Could you delete this member name: Doranakanda It's me also, but when I started on Palmtalk, I had some problem with passwords and stupidly registered under two names; mine is Doranakandawatta and you can see it's alive. This is the wrong one I don't use: Doranakanda Member Since 23 Apr 2012 OFFLINE Last Active Jun 14 2012 03:37 PM Sorry, and thank you. Regards, Philippe
