Hi Might I suggest that the Search default be changed to search "all words"? Currently it is set to search "any words", which of course brings up hundreds of pages in most cases and so is no use. e.g. Seaching for how to "store palm seeds" brings up every page with the word "store", plus every page with the word "Palm", plus every page with the word "seed" - thousands of pages. No help at all! Hopefully this is a forum setting which can be easily accessed by administrators(?) Thanks

Well, The heavy lifting is done. There are still some tweaks etc. that need to be done. If you guys think it's weird getting used to and figuring out the new forum look and features, you should take a look at the Administration Control Panel. Please realize I am starting from the same place as you are. I will have to figure out some answers as well. So if you have figured out an answer to a question, please chime in. Don't forget, there is a "HELP" option in the upper right hand corner. Try checking there first for the obvious things you may be having trouble with. As to the PMs - I mentioned that the PM system was much different. I don't know all the intrica…

Book Reviews

I ran an advanced search, but did not see anywhere that this question has been asked. Is there a "Book reader review" on PalmTalk anywhere? It would be great to see book reviews set up in the same manner we have been reviewing palm nurseries. Do we have this somewhere? If not, is there interest in setting it up?

How about a CycadTalk subfolder?
by Madchemis- 21 replies

Hi All, I'm new here, I've been wondering since their is frequent discussion, sale, and exchange about cycad. Wouldn't it be better to have another sub-topic devoted for it, such as CyadTalk. I know that there is a Cycad Forum, but it's mainly sales and exchanges in Africa. I like their forum setup and I think it would be good to have one here too. This is just suggestion and would like to know what you feel about this. -David

Black band with Firefox
by iwan- 8 replies
- 2.7k views
Since the upgrade to IP Board I have occasional issues where a black band covers part of the screen. It only happens occasionally, and the width of the band varies. I have the same problem on another forum that uses IP Board also. Browser is Firefox 3.5.1, but has persisted through various version upgrades of FF. A search here found nothing and only one hit on Google. Obviously, I have not found the right keywords to describe this issue. Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution? A page refresh will take care of the error, so this is just a minor annoyance. Note, for some reason the thumbnail shows completely black, but if you click on it, it wi…

Suggestion
by John Case- 0 replies

With all of the discussion, photos, etc. regarding the Darian event, it maight be a good idea to consolidate them into its own subforum...at least for a while. This looks as big or bigger than reporint on a biennial...... just an idea....it will also prevent off thread commentary in the Discussing Palms subforum, of which I am already guilty......

Apology to Ed
by Nick L- 7 replies
- 2.5k views
Hello Ed, I have made a horrible mistake by misjudging you and if you will allow me I will try and explain why and apologize for my behavior regarding the mad fox seeds. I had made a post in Randy's Mad Fox thread and it was deleted. The content of the post included a quote from your for sale thread indicating you had received the seeds and were ready to ship them out, and that I would soon be a recipient of 50 of your seeds, nothing more than innocent exuberance. The post was deleted without explanation and I became quite upset of the censorship. After several failed attempts in the thread to get an explanation as to why my post was del…

CHANGES TO PIC UPLOAD CAPACITY
by PALM MOD- 23 replies
- 7k views
For IPS Members, there will now be a 2000 KB per post limit for attachment uploads. This means you may display many more thumbnails in each post. You will find this more convenient if you have a lot of photos to post. In addition this will further reduce the amount of scrolling necessary for those threads that utilize thumbnails. There is no way for me to place a limit on each pic's size. As a result, you may now upload one 1900 KB photo, or nineteen 100 KB photos per post. I would encourage you to still attempt to keep photos to a reasonable size. Anything over 350-400 KB does not make the photo any better for our purposes. So any photo larger than that is an unnecessary…

Hi, I recall some time ago that a call went out from the moderating team for voluntary assistance with Palmtalk. I am curious, if somebody did volunteer to help out, can you please advise who these helpers are and in what capacity they are helping ? Their ID I mean.

Dear all, have read a lot in the Palm Exchange area. Palmtalk is an international forum, I guess it could be helpfully for international potential customers to flag the listed sellers with this information. Not sure if there is a software setting available to add such a special field but it would be great. Thanks a lot and regards, Verena

PM attachments

I am a technophobe, and can barely deal with text and e-mail. Is there a way to send a photo as a jpeg attachment to a PM? I now can upload such photos as a response in a thread, but I don't see any mechanism to do this in a PM. Thanks!

Malware websites
by John in Andalucia- 4 replies
- 2.5k views
A couple of times in the last few weeks, I've had one of those "Get me out of here!" warning pages using Google Chrome when opening a topic on PalmTalk. On both occasions the same website has been highlighted as hosting malware - www.arbolesornamentales.com. This is the same the problem that beset Cory's website a while back. CYCAD CRAZY!!!! in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms is the topic causing problems. Looking at the topic content, I can't see any externally hosted images from www.arbolesornamentales.com or avatars, so I've no idea how this site is being linked.

Desired new Feature
by John Case- 7 replies
- 1.6k views
Dean, It probably isn't possible, but it would be interesting to me if each profile had a feature for the member to list the palms they have and the status, such as in ground vs. potted, alive vs. dead, when obtained, etc. This might help any of us who live in close proximity to try some palms that they thought they may not be able to grow. I would volunteer to beta test... Just a thought....

Hello, I don't know if there is a way I can manually fix this or if it is a computer problem, but whenever I view a post made by myself, my picture shows a question mark in a box: [?]. However, my picture is there on my profile and on my control bar in the upper right. Also, I recently joined the IPS and I'm listed as being in the the group forum members in all of my posts. Is there a way for that to reflect my membership? Thanks, Ryland

Palmtalk forum - Blocked from Work
by Trópico- 13 replies
- 3.5k views
So I haven't been to palmtalk in a while. The reason is the place I work, in their obsession of making things more unpleasant for their workers, decides to enhance their website blocking to "protect the company's computing assets"; one of the affected sites turns out to be palmtalk. Believe me, it is not about increasing productivity. Maybe the site admins can find that meta-keyword that could be causing the site to be blocked? I don't really know how this thing works, but Neofolis' palm-haven forum is still not blocked (thank God!). If someone has more information on how this website blocking programs work, kindly share it to see if something can be done about it. P…

I can't upload pictures anymore.
by Tyrone- 6 replies
- 2.7k views
I can't seem to upload pics anymore. The software will go through the motions of uploading the image, my modem will flash like crazy during the upload, and then when it's finished and should show up how much space you have left and whether you want to attach another image etc it's all blank, except for one little box you can click on only to tell you that no images were uploaded. Weird. Am I doing something wrong? Has the software changed? I was able to post a few pics on the weekend but now I can't. Best regards Tyrone
