   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!

   Is Palmpedia maintained by or otherwise related to the Palmtalk forum? And is there a known reason why I haven't been able to access the site for several days?

   Split "local pickup" from "shipping available?

   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…

   I don't know if this is where I can put suggestions, This might be something I personally want but others may want and find this useful too but having an app available on phones to be able to use the forums on mobile, I know you can log into the site on mobile browsers but it's kind of funky and it would be nice to receive notifications directly on my device and access Palm talk from anywhere on the go

   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.

   @PALM MOD , Please put this at the top of the list of Topics, not at the bottom if you can, it is probably better there. I have no knowledge of web design, just web visitation. Just trying to help.

   PalmTalk Dark Theme

   So instead of working today I spent the morning creating a dark theme for the site. Why a dark theme? Well for those of you who spend all day at a computer (like me), or like browsing the site in the evening (also me), dark themes are great for reducing strain on your eyes and won't keep your wife up all night while you browse palmtalk in bed. To use the theme, you have to install a browser plugin on your preferred web browser which can edit the sites styling (CSS) Stylish - Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Brave, Dissenter) Stylish - Firefox SuperStyles - Microsoft Edge Stylus - Opera Once the plugin is installed, copy and paste my…

    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 …

    Fresh Bismarkia Seeds. What now to prepare them?

    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

    I have uploaded many images, but today I had a failure. The photo is a JPG file sized 5.07 mb. The error message was "There was a problem processing the uploaded file.-200." I tried to upload from both my profile and my wife's profile of our shared desktop PC. I also tried both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. No upload! Any suggestions, please ?

    Suggestion on images

    September 1, 2019 by RedRabbit

    • 19 replies
    • 1.5k views

    I suggest removing images from quotes. When you reply to someone the images really aren’t needed and just provide redundant content. The problem is they can significantly lengthen the page and slow down the load time. Instead of removing images outright, another good option would be giving them some sort of text placeholder. That should be sufficient to avoid any confusion and improve the user’s experience.

    "Cocos nucifera" Subforum?

    Another forum member, Kinzyjr (Jeremy) and I were discussing our favorite palm-related topic, coconuts of course and it came up just how much interest there is in Cocos nucifera on Palmtalk. In-fact, there is a disproportionately high level of interest on the forums in Cocos nucifera, versus any other palm species or even genus of palms. I noticed for example, that on the first page of the main forum right now that 4 of 24, or 1/6 of the threads are coconut specific. Due to the unique presence of Cocos within the palm family (and its importance and ubiquity worldwide in the tropics) versus other genera, its beauty and its status as a symbol for paradise, leisure, vaca…

    Problem accessing PALMS journal back issues

    I'm trying to access Kyle Brown's pieces on Sabal palmetto that appeared in 1976. However, when I search I get a header with that year and no content (see attached example). I'm using a MacBook Pro running Safari, but have also tried Google Chrome. I don't know what issue/issues his work appeared in, other that 1976. I may be searching incorrectly, or there may be a software problem. Any insights are appreciated. Also, is the journal searchable? If so, how?
