Offensive advertising on this forum

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

Key to disorders and diseases

Hi Mod, Many, many, many of the interactions on Palmtalk are in regards to nutritive problems with palms, etc.. Lots of us help out with this, it's no big deal, I think many of us are glad to help. In an effort to assist people in diagnosing their palm issues, I remember 'a key to common landscape palm disorders and diseases' by Tim Broschat and Monica Elliott that was published in the September 2005 issue of Palms. It starts on page 143. I've used it over the years when I wasn't able to figure out what I had going on with a palm. Is this key something that we could digitize and perhaps "stickey" in the forum to help people that might be trying to …

Palm Exchange suggestion

The PalmTalk team has done a great service for the palm community with this forum! It has a modern feel with many nice features and the price can't be beat! That said, there are some pain points with the Palm Exchange forum. The listings last forever even if the item is no longer available. This is clutter which the user must hunt through, and there's a lot of it. Listings that that aren't on the first couple pages get 'buried' behind the others. Are they still available or not? We may never know! A possible solution is found in how the exchange boards are listed. A tabular index (or "search page") will provide a superior experience. Sea…

Birthday Reactions

This is just a small, cute suggestion. I always see people's birthdays on the side and I wish I could say happy birthday to everybody individually, but I think it would be neat if the birthday tab would let you send a reaction, kind of as if you were liking a post or something, just as a simple way of making that tab more interactive and to let people know happy birthday.

Why has this site for years said my pics are too big???

For years, this site has said my pics are too big. I have had problems uploading pics on this site so often it makes me want to no longer use this site. I used to have a digital camera to take standard sized pics that I didn't have a problem at all uploading to a tropical gardening Facebook page I have, but this site would give me lots of problems trying to upload the exact same pics. Now, I use my phone camera that takes standard sized pics, but yet again, nothing but problems trying to upload pics. I wonder how many other people are discouraged from using Palmtalk for the same reason??? For those of us who are low tech and not savvy in the technical aspects of phot…

.Good afternoon to you, several day's ago I came across a post on here concerning someone in my general vicinity about a dombeya wallichii in their yard. I never heard anything back from them, or anyone else in regards to the topic posted. Am I still connected to the site; or is there a disconnect on my part; or am I still on this site? Just wondering, and thank you for your time.

Permission to post to "for sale" forum

I'm having trouble figuring out how to post on the for sale forum. I joined IPS, but the page indicates I also need to contact a moderator to request access. However, I can't seem to find info on who the moderators are. So I'm a little clueless. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

This post is simply a suggestion for the site. I am an amateur (home grower) that monitors the for sale/trade category, and one of the things I find annoying is that someone selling a palm will specify local pickup only. Of course, that's quite reasonable from their perspective, but not really an option for me unless that person is located in northern california (unfortunately for me, 99.8% of these posts are in any one of a number of southern california communities, any one of a number of florida communities or texas) - as a practical matter, these communities are not accessible to each other as well - the problem then gets exacerbated when a grower (typically commerci…

Potential "Beginner/Newbie" forum?

Happy Holidays, and an early Happy New Year. I know I'm pretty new to PT myself, so I'd like to suggest a new subforum for beginners/newbies/amateurs/etc. I know with all of the lockdown/stay-at-home orders, massive worldwide unemployment, lots of people (myself included) turned to plants (and palms!) as a new hobby and a way to stay sane. Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly grateful to have found PalmTalk. Reddit has a little info here and there but not much seems to be palm specific. I've noticed PT has a few younger members too. I just think it'd be nice to have a subforum for those of us who are new to this hobby, where "no question is a dumb …

Heart button Vs Up button?

@PALM MOD, If my heading was not too cryptic, What is the difference? Are the responses recorded by Microsoft, google or anyone else for any reason? I know that 'Likes" are used by google to categorize people in some of their web pages. I'm just trying to understand this system. I'm just thinking if there is no difference then why would you add it.

I cut these Bismarkia seeds last Sunday near my home in South Florida. They have fallen off the stalk since then. What do I do with them now? Peel them, soak them, dry them? Are they ripe enough to be viable? I see articles on germination but not on what's best for preparing the seed prior to starting that process. I'd be thrilled if just one popped... Thanks in advance for your advice. S
