PLEASE TAG YOUR COLD HARDY TOPICS
by PALM MOD- 12 replies
- 16.4k views
We would suggest tagging any new topics accordingly - with "Cold Hardy," in case it is ever deemed necessary to merge this new forum back into the main "Discussing Palms" forum. If that is done, Cold Hardy topics will always be easily accessible by using the tag feature.

@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.

"Cocos nucifera" Subforum?
by palmsOrl- 2 followers

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…

"link missing"

For last few weeks i noticed that when I search for some palmtalk topics on google, and when i click on the link i get redirected to http://url123.info/ and it says "link is missing". But when i click again on the same link in google, palmtalk page opens normally. I wonder why would palmtalk link redirect me to http://url123.info/ especially when link is ok and it's not missing? In this particular case i was looking for "www.royalpalmisland.com" and topic on palmtalk came out as first result. Link on google result By clicking on the firste result i was redirected here http://url123.info/e875cd64

3 line preview of forum topics?
by Merlyn- 6 replies
- 684 views
After the latest update all the forums defaulted to showing the topic and then a 3 line preview of the first post. This showed up on my Android tablet (Brave browser) a few days ago, and then showed up on my regular PC (Firefox browser) today. While this might be a nice feature to have as an option, I couldn't find a way to turn it off in my profile settings. I vaguely recall this happening a year or two ago, but can't recall what I did to "fix" it. I already tried logging out and back in, with no change. Any suggestions?

8.11 MB only allowed???

After only uploading 3 pics in a reply (Peter's "White Triangle" thread) it wouldn't allow me to upload any more pics saying I'm only allowed 8.11 MB. Even when I tried to upload additional pics into another reply box it still won't let me. So you're only allowed 8.11MB total for an entire thread?

If there's an administrator reading this, I wonder if there is content that is not open to everyone? I'm going through old posts (2007) and often try links that are within a post, only to get a "404 Error Access Denied" message. This link, for example, posted by MattyB: my greenhouse II thread Can you help me understand? id like to read old posts when theycome up. Thanks, JT

Affiliated chapter subtopics on Palmtalk
by Mike Evans- 3 replies
- 2.1k views
Dean, Our local Palm society chapter is having problems with keeping our website current & up to date. I am sure that there are a number of different affiliates around the word that have the same problem. So, I was wondering if the Palmtalk forum could start a new subtopic labeled "Affiliated Chapter News" Under this subtopic could be other subtopics for all the affiliated chapters that would like to post their news on IPS Palmtalk. What I am getting at is, this space would be for each affiliated group to post their newsletters, photos and updates about their chapter, on this forum, rather than have their own website. This Forum would give the local members a pla…

Allowable Pic Sizes

Admin Guys, Would it "break the bank" to up the allowable pic size to 125? Some are having trouble getting under 100, and I know a lot of mine come in at 110 or so, and I lose a lot of detail taking the next step down.

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…

Arizona Subforum?
by MKIVRYAN- 5 replies
- 1.8k views
I was wondering since Phoenix has such a drastic difference in climate from most of the other cities represented here if we could get a subforum of our own? I regularly find myself looking for information on a palm but can only find input from people growing in FL, CA and HI. While its nice to get some feedback from these people for the most part it does not apply to my situation. Can Phoenix get a subforum or maybe the southwest in general?

Avatar issues
by plamfrong- 1 follower

- 2.6k views
Seems that I can upload an avatar and see it on my avatar control page, but the old avatar continues to persist in message threads and is not replaced by the new image. It doesn't help if I delete it and upload something from scratch... the old one still pops up again. When I click on 'view image' it seems as if some sort of time stamp is being put on any new image I upload as an avatar which interferes with the ability to see it in message threads. I'll try to provide a more detailed explanation if there's no easy answer. Thanks, Ian

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

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.
