Anyone else not getting email notifications of PMs? I have this option selected on my controls, but suddenly they are not arriving even though I am receiving messages. The email alert is a convenient feature, especially when using my phone.

PM PROBLEM
by DoomsDave- 3 replies

Hello, everyone: When I try to access my PMs I get the following message: "[#10229] We could not determine which message you were attempting to view. " I was not able to send any PMs, either which is why I'm posting this up here. Sorry to be PIA, but I need my PMs to start mailing out my palm seeds to all my palm-buds all over the globe, and now I can't get the addresses everyone sent me . . . .

I'm just wondering why I no longer get notified by email when I have a PM. Is it a setting I may have somehow turned off. It's been going on for maybe two weeks now. Thanks.

Why is it that PalmTalk regularely fails to load after around 10PM PDT, and especially on Friday and Saturday evenings? Do you guys have some sort of service level agreements? If so, you may want to check to see if your provider is violating them.

Posting user names of deceased people
by Phoenikakias- 3 replies

I wish to find old posts of RLR, since he was mentioned by _Keith in one of his recent posts, but I did dot know even whom those letters refer to. Fortunately I was able to see in the memorials the name of Bob Riffle, which helped me further to remember his full official name in literature (Robert Lee Riffle). So I had from then on a starting point but I do not know the user name under which he was participating in the forum in order to visit his profile and search for the content... So I was thinking that it might be helpful for newcomers in PT that user names are also published near the real names of deceased famous people in the palm world. What a better way to honor …

Potential "Beginner/Newbie" forum?
by JohnAndSancho- 1 follower

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 …

Problem accessing PALMS journal back issues
by Jono Miller- 22 replies
- 1.7k views
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?

Problem with forum software

I use android 8.1.0 with a chrome version 68.0.3440.70 to access palmtalk. When I try to answer on a topic or if I create a new topic the forum software always already shows my last answer in the text field. It also does not allow me to delete old quotations in those entries. I'm not able to just have a blank text field to start my post. I have tried everything. I have deleted my browser cache, my cookies and because everything did not work even the saved password settings for palmtalk. Maybe the data is saved somewhere on your server connected with my session ID? Maybe you could look into this because posting is now a very tedious task. It also makes me wonder about the …

It seems I can no longer post video links from photobucket, where before I used to. This is the form I have always been using where an image is clickable in order to run a video. [ URL=http://path_to_video.mp4][ IMG ]http://path_to_thumb_of_video.jpg[ /IMG ][ /URL ] Now it just displays the image upon clicking it, but no video! I have no choice but to add a direct link to the video now but that also apparently is starting to give problems too! Help is much appreciated! Thanks

PT/Facebook
by John Case- 1 reply
- 1.3k views
I have had the PT/Facbook association up for a monthor so and have decided to disassociate it. The status posts put on FB are not the type of thing that is relevant to PalmTalk and I use FB a lot, which means that PT is inundated with 'status' post that might be found to be annoying on PT....even I was annoyed with my own 'status' posts on PT. So while some may want this link, I just do not see much value in it. Thanks for opening it up, Dean. John
