   I have no idea how to contact the forum moderator, but I have been advised that I should have an IPS atavar that automatically attaches to my posts. I have been an IPS member since 1980. Mike Merritt

   Hi there, I am new at this place, although not about palms. I see quite a few forum members belong to the 'IPS Members Group', which appears below their PalmTalk avatar with the IPS logo. How could I join there?. I am a life IPS member for years. Thanks!

   IPS website past issues is broken!

   I know this site has been recently overhauled(at my request), but I don't believe anything has changed. I still can't retrieve past issues(some issues can be clicked on and viewed, but mostly they cannot)! As an IPS member, I am perterbed to say the least. I don't want my money back(as I hope it goes to worthy palm conservation), but how can I honestly reccomend the IPS to potential members?! Palms and Principes is why I joined the IPS and I still cannot access this reading material in all the time I have been a member. When I click on the article, Adobe asks me to accept their terms and I do, then I am met with a runtime error and my entire window is closed! If this we…

   Can anyone tell me if there is a forum where members who are selling their houses (with a garden full of palms) may mention this and post some photos? It irks me to sell my house to someone with no appreciation of what's growing in the garden. Thanks.

   Hi there Dean and fellow palm site gurus. Is it possible to have a little pop up window appear when folk log on to the site. Each individual could manage his/her own settings for that to occur. It would nice to know, Oh look, Frank has just signed in, I think I'll send him that pm now etc. Just a thought.

    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 …

    Kris's beautiful Plumeria photos show up fine, but my Mozilla Firefox browser doesn't show his texts. Microsoft Internet Explorer does. The problem seems restricted to Kris's posts. Anyone else experiencing the problems?

    Can I not put a link in my signature? I have seen other users with them. If I put just one link, it says "too many links". Is that a bug or by design?

    Linking problem to PT through google

    This is a peculiar annoyance that keeps happeneing to me for the last two weeks. I always go to Google, search for 'Palmtalk' and therafter click on the first link that turns up in the result - usually to the PT Forum. On doing so I get directed to this - http://url123.info/e875cd64, which is some literature on Windows 7. Now the funny part, if I go back to the seach results on Google and retry the same link, it works fine. This has happened on three different PCs running different OS' so it can't be a PC specific problem. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience.

    Malware websites

    A couple of times in the last few weeks, I've had one of those "Get me out of here!" warning pages using Google Chrome when opening a topic on PalmTalk. On both occasions the same website has been highlighted as hosting malware - www.arbolesornamentales.com. This is the same the problem that beset Cory's website a while back. CYCAD CRAZY!!!! in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms is the topic causing problems. Looking at the topic content, I can't see any externally hosted images from www.arbolesornamentales.com or avatars, so I've no idea how this site is being linked.

    Hi Palm mod, Could you delete this member name: Doranakanda It's me also, but when I started on Palmtalk, I had some problem with passwords and stupidly registered under two names; mine is Doranakandawatta and you can see it's alive. This is the wrong one I don't use: Doranakanda Member Since 23 Apr 2012 OFFLINE Last Active Jun 14 2012 03:37 PM Sorry, and thank you. Regards, Philippe

    Micropay, Vote Or Dance For Quality Content

    The problem with forums is that they're full of buried treasure. Unless a thread is stickied, no matter how much useful information it contains... it will eventually be pushed off the first page. And then it will be pushed off the second page... and then the third page and so on. A google search can easily help people find buried treasure... but, it can just as easily help people find buried trash! And the internet has a lot more trash than treasure. What's needed is some group rating effort to highlight the quality content. Here are some possibilities... 1. Unlimited micropayments Each member would have the option of using paypal to put money into their dig…

    Need to change my email address/password

    Dear Admin, I want to change my current email address as registered. In order to do that I have to enter my password. I don't have or remember it and my current email program is out of action so I can't look up any emails from Palmtalk. I can't change my password because it would be sent to the old email address which is out of action and hopefully will remain that way. So, here I am working on a laptop which auto recalled the password last time I had difficulties. I am only here for a short time, so could someone please PM me a password urgently so I can get in and change my email address. I have a new PC arrangement and want to have this info for the new PC set up…
