TRAVEL LOGS
by philinsydney- 1 reply
- 2.1k views
I just wanted to clarify the purpose of the Travel Log forum. The description says palm travels eg botanic gardens, but not all threads have been about palms. The recent SoCal hiking thread was very enjoyable, but should I feel guilty when reading it?

There are a number of odd and worrisome wacky things going on with the Forum. None of the normal fixes or maintenance are working. Be assured I am aware of this, and am trying everything I can think of. I am awaiting some experts with this software to reply to my inquiries. Let's hope they can help.

Dean- It looks like the pages have changed around a bit? Can't see "past" attendance on the home page. Also, used to see who was currently reading a certain thread, is that gone too? BS

GOOD NEWS-LARGER PHOTOS
by PALM MOD- 30 replies
- 7.5k 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…

Size of photo attachments
by ruskinPalms- 10 replies

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…

View First Unread
by Mats- 1 reply

Dean - Does Ikonboard support 'View First Unread'? VBulletin fourm software allows you view the first unread post in a thread. For example, on a thread that has been around for a couple days, clicking 'View First Unread' would zip you past all the posts you've already read to the first new one. It would be a nice addition if it's available.

New Post Notification

This may sound crazy, but...... My eMail program produces a sound when I get new mail. Is it possable that this program could do the same w/a new post, or would that drive us all crazy? Sometimes I'm reading something and when done go on to another program. If notified of a new post I just might come back to look at it.

I thought that I had too large an address for uploading as a avatar. Last night I tried every way I could figure and failed each time. I even tried a 90 x 60 pixel thumnail. Here is the picture from my garden that I want to use as an avatar, this is the large version: http://bp2.blogger.com/_UwGkeJ84ueM/Rz5Vqt3Mg3I/AAAAAAAAAt4/LBl6GZBCNMc/s1600-h/talipot2.jpg

What does the "Ignore" button do?
by osideterry- 2 replies
- 2.3k views
On first glance I would expect it to ignore a poster (say Dave from So-Cal... because he uses words like egads and pulcritude). Then would there be missing or blank posts? How about a missing or blank topic? Or does it just not update the envelope icon saying there's a new post. I really don't want to goof with it and ignore Dave.

THE PALAPA IS HISTORY
by PALM MOD- 0 replies
- 2.5k views
I have received directions to remove the discussion about the removal of the Palapa as well. Apparently that too was becoming too controversial. So for now, this thread is closed with the following message only: From the President: "Due to potential liability issues that have been brought to the attention of the IPS, it has been deemed necessary to shut down The Palapa. The IPS apologizes for any inconvenience."

This is the worst in living memory and I hope you havnt been hit too bad. Esp if you are in the nursery trade or farming (Nigel scores twice here (ouch!) I was badly flooded once but not quite all the garden and I tried to take away something positive which is I now know for certain my gardens levels. I Also got our Council engineers to clear our drainage ditch of detritus and th deepen and widen it. So this time no flooding. Anway things could be worse ; apart from 2 million plus pounds of damage and some minor damage only two guys have lost their lives. It could have been worse and more is forecast soon. Apparently this weather "should" have gone to Iceland but we …

I have posted on this before but at the risk of being banned may I suggest high Nitrate plus some P and K and micronutrients . Also Epsom salts for the Mg content (essential to Chlororophyll) It works for me. Regardez and good palm growing all. Ive just spent two months in hospital and beaten the quuacks (polite Brit term for Docs). Im tougher than thyey think and I will be ready for the next big project in a year or three. Plenty of palms anyway! Regardez amigos JUAN

Guys I will try to borrow another system in the next week or two. My main phone line still works but thats about it. Main cable at the local exchange is being repaired and the guys have already repaired my personal phone line so in an emergency such as ("my palm is growing toooo fast; what do I do?")* members can find my number in the IPS Directory. Regardez Juan * send it to me!
