Edit Feature
by Kathy- 10 replies
- 3.1k views
I noticed in Jeff from Tampa/Costa Rica's thread announcing his move that I could not edit my typo, that I instead had the "quote" feature pop up instead of the edit feature. I double checked by doing a "post preview" and I definately get a quote and new post, and not an edit of my original post. Yet Ray/Tampa was able to edit his post in the same thread. I also tried clicking to the far left (and far right) of the "edit" tab to see if it was place sensitive for my cursor. It was not. Are others seeing trouble with the edit feature? I've noticed it before but was in a hurry so didn't follow-up. Moderator, any ideas? Thanks.

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?

Size of photo attachments

Hi Dean, I have recently been experimenting with compressing photos to fit the 112640 byte limit. I feel that uploading photos directly to the forum server may be better than using iffy photo hosting services that may go out of business at any time resulting in a 1000's of broken links to photos making most of my posts less than useful. I think this forum should be able to stand the test of time and not be subject to such failures. However, I have found the 112640 byte limit to be very restrictive to posting at the quality that I am accostomed to by using photo hosting services. Is there any way that this limit can be raised using this current forum software ??? Incide…

White version of PalmTalk?
by Kim- 10 replies
- 2.1k views
Does anyone else ever get an all-white version of PalmTalk at random times? The format is the same, it functions the same, but the screen is mostly white, so it's harder to tell where one post ends and another begins. Then randomly it will go back to the blue format, easier to read. Just curious how this happens and if anyone else has experienced this.

NEW FORUM - TIPS & TRICKS

-Did you know PalmTalk now supports the uploading of multiple photos? You can choose 4 at a time to upload. (I may change that to 5) When posting a photo look for "Help with attaching files" Try our advanced uploader which supports multiple file uploading (modern browser required)" Then proceed and look for "Enable Flash Uploader." Check it and you will then be able to choose multiple files to be uploaded all at once. -Did you know there appears to be an option for a "skin" that makes using the Forum from mobile devices easier and faster. A PalmTalk Lite, so to speak. Has anyone tried PT from an mobile device yet? I'm not sure if it is activated. -Did you k…

Tagging feature for photos?
by Kim- 9 replies
- 1.6k views
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?

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 …

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…
