Palmtalk forum - Blocked from Work
by Trópico- 13 replies
- 3.5k views
So I haven't been to palmtalk in a while. The reason is the place I work, in their obsession of making things more unpleasant for their workers, decides to enhance their website blocking to "protect the company's computing assets"; one of the affected sites turns out to be palmtalk. Believe me, it is not about increasing productivity. Maybe the site admins can find that meta-keyword that could be causing the site to be blocked? I don't really know how this thing works, but Neofolis' palm-haven forum is still not blocked (thank God!). If someone has more information on how this website blocking programs work, kindly share it to see if something can be done about it. P…

Why can't we post freebies or trades without paying?
by The Silent Seed- 14 replies
- 3.5k views
Some of us are not wealthy enough to pay for a full membership, yet some of us (such as myself) would love to share / give away some seeds, or trade - where no money is involved - Why should we be required to pay a hefty fee just to post something we are giving away? I understand the wisdom in having vendors / sellers having to pay something, but what about the little guys who just enjoy sharing a few seeds here and there? I mean, this puts people like myself in a position where we are "taking advantage" of the "freebies" because those people giving those seeds away, have to pay, and those of us who get those seeds, cannot return the favor. What was the thinking b…

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.

IPS website past issues is broken!
by Mandrew968- 20 replies
- 3.2k views
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…

On-line photo libraries
by mike in kurtistown- 6 replies
- 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"?

In my opinion, the last 2 minutes is a worthless piece of information. I know that the reason it was changed was that the names listed, were already off line(possibly) but it does let us know who has been online. Anyways, I liked the 30 minute version much better...

WONDERING ABOUT SOME MISSING PHOTOS???
by PALM MOD- 5 replies
- 3.1k views
When we had a minor hiccup about 24 hours after the "new" forum opened, all photos that were uploaded during those 24 hrs. were lost. If you wish those photos to appear, you will have to upload them again. We are sorry about the mishap. Hopefully that will be the only casualty of the upgrade. We are not completely out of the woods yet. I am still working on some of the items that some members have noticed and/or requested. It will be a few weeks before everything is "signed, sealed, and delivered."

"link missing"
by Pivi- 13 replies

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

Edit Feature
by Kathy- 10 replies
- 3.1k views
I noticed in Jeff from Tampa/Costa Rica's thread announcing his move that I could not edit my typo, that I instead had the "quote" feature pop up instead of the edit feature. I double checked by doing a "post preview" and I definately get a quote and new post, and not an edit of my original post. Yet Ray/Tampa was able to edit his post in the same thread. I also tried clicking to the far left (and far right) of the "edit" tab to see if it was place sensitive for my cursor. It was not. Are others seeing trouble with the edit feature? I've noticed it before but was in a hurry so didn't follow-up. Moderator, any ideas? Thanks.

separate geographical posts in "PALM EXCHANGE".
by Mandrew968- 2 followers

Often, I search the palm exchange section. Many times I see people are let down by finding that what they want is on the opposite coast! Maybe this is too complex, but maybe not... How about a section for Southern California, a section for posting just in South Florida, and international add section, and an all encompassing one. This would not only make shopping and selling easier, but also not such a let-down.

Palmtalk archive

So I recently discovered the Palmtalk archive http://69.94.66.81/cgi-bin/ptarchive/ikonboard.cgi? But I can't search because I wasn't a member of the old board, and registration isn't open for obvious reasons. Can the person who runs this board make it so searching the forum is possible to non-members (but not posting obviously) or do I just have to manually sift through everything? Just curious, thanks Keith
