   New computer new problems?

   Anyone using 8.1? I am going to buy a new laptop but am concerned since I was using my brother's with 8.1 to post here on Palmtalk and it would not allow me to upload pictures on to the site. Should I look into another OS or was that a one time error?

   The last few days when trying to log in, I got this message (see photo) and couldn't log in or post. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem.

   If you will notice, in the upper right hand corner there is a new button that takes you to PalmTalk's new Community Calendar. Will some of you give it a try (if you have an event to add) and let me know how it is working? Hint - You add "New Events" in the lower right hand corner.

   -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…

   NEW POLICY RE: EDIT/DELETE

   February 6, 2007 by PALM MOD

   • 16 replies
   • 4.6k views

   When a post is edited significantly or deleted altogether, it changes the context of all the subsequent replies. In some cases it renders them meaningless. Because this is occuring with increasing frequency, members will no longer be able to delete posts, and will have only 30 minutes in which to edit. This policy is much more in line with the majority of forums on the web. If you need to correct something factual, post a correction. If you just regret what you said, or the way in which you said it, try apologizing as you would in real life. If you feel it is important enough to delete or edit something after the 30 minutes, PM me, and if it doesn't materially affect t…

   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.

    NEW RATING SERVICE FOR NURSERIES AND GROWERS 1 2

    November 28, 2008 by PALM MOD

    • 45 replies
    • 7.3k views

    Allowing comments about nurseries and growers in the "Discussing Palms" forum has turned into a fiasco. Not only is it off-topic to what we would like to discuss in that forum, it has turned into a disrespectful free for all. The IPS wants to allow feedback on growers, so that buyers can get some idea of who they are dealing with when they find a nursery here or elsewhere. So, in order to provide some order, and to provide a more worthwhile service, we are instituting a new area that will be used exclusively for the discussion of those who sell seeds and/or palms. In addition it will contain a rating system for individual nurseries and backyard growers. Jungle Music…

    The new upgrade has some new ways of doing things, and some new features. I am still discovering them myself. It is impossible for me to check everything and every situation - so reports of issues would be appreciated. If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them here. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

    The PalmTalk Web Committtee has decided to institute a new policy directed at curbing some of the rude, impolite, and hostile behavior floating around the Forum lately. It is a refinement of an existing policy, and one we wish to make sure everyone is aware of. It could be considered a "Three Strikes You're Out" policy. Those members who can not abide by the few and simple guidelines we have here will be issued an unofficial warning to make sure they understand they are in danger of receiving an "official" warning. The first official warning will result in a one week suspension, the second is a two week suspension, and with a third one you're gone. Your can view your "…

    This is definitely turned on in settings. I certainly used to get emails for messages, and I still get emails for subscribed topics. Yes, I have checked that they're not ending up in the spam folder.

    Offensive advertising on this forum

    I'm just curious if anybody else is seeing any inappropriate advertising on the site? I have seen sexual content (nothing pornographic, just items for sale) and t-shirts with political nonsense. Admins, are there any controls around that sort of thing?

    On-line photo libraries

    May 1, 2007 by mike in kurtistown

    • 3.1k views

    I have used as online photo library to post picture libraries for fellow palm hobbyists. The photos I post are jpegs. I found a few months ago that if I tried to download, it was in a weird format that could only be used by the photo library. For maximum usefulness, a photo should be downloadable as a jpeg. Now, I find that I cannot download a file, even from my own libraries, without "registering". Does anyone know a library which allows free downloading, as jpegs, without "registering"?

    Palm Exchange suggestion

    I think the Palm Exchange could be improved if it were restructured. Currently the subforums are as follows: For Sale For Trade Plants Wanted Freebies Palm Grower/Buyer Ratings Shipping typically isn't an option when you buy palms so it makes a big difference where the palm for sale/trade/wanted/free is located. I regularly find myself clicking into threads offering palms for sale just to see they're in California and immediately close the thread. In consideration of this, I believe the Palm Exchange would be more efficient if it were restructured to be location based. Here are the subforums I propose: California Florida …

    The PalmTalk team has done a great service for the palm community with this forum! It has a modern feel with many nice features and the price can't be beat! That said, there are some pain points with the Palm Exchange forum. The listings last forever even if the item is no longer available. This is clutter which the user must hunt through, and there's a lot of it. Listings that that aren't on the first couple pages get 'buried' behind the others. Are they still available or not? We may never know! A possible solution is found in how the exchange boards are listed. A tabular index (or "search page") will provide a superior experience. Sea…
