I see that the Plant Database no longer lists the members that "HAVE" or "WANT" a certain plant variety.

That makes me sad, I thought it was a great feature and when I saw a question not being answered, sometimes I would "@" a few people who "HAD" the plant, to see if they would care to answer.

But admittedly, the feature seemed underused. No one has ever contacted me for seeds that I listed as "HAVE" and "offered for trade". And I haven't kept my list of "available" seeds up-to-date at all times.

Is there still a way to search the database (or rather everyone's Plant Lists) globally, to see who HAS a certain variety and might offer it for trade?

Hmm, if it's not there that wasn't intentional. I'll look into this.

Well I'm seeing it on the top of the plant pages...

Cat Grass (Avena sativa)

I agree it's a great feature, but when I search a plant, Rick, it's all still there. Try again.

@RickCorey I still have the feature on my plant list, both on my phone and on my desktop. Not sure why you aren't getting it. The other day I had to shut down my computer and completely log in again because I wasn't getting my home page I had saved. Try a reboot.
This is the way I keep track of what I have. Not so much to share yet since most is fairly new, but I always look to see before I buy something if someone else shows having it and a couple of times I t-mail them to see if I still want it. Have a Merry Christmas!

I do the same thing, Ginny.
You all have a wonderful Christmas!

Rick, maybe you're just looking at plants that no one has or wants? (Hard to imagine, but it could happen)

Strange, I see want, have, and used to have on my plant list, legalily's, and plantmanager's. But the only thing I see on Rick's is "have".

That turned out to be it. I had never seen a plant like that before, but yes. "Mikado Poppy" isn't listed by anyone as "HAVE" or "WANT", and THAT'S why there was no list of them in the Plant Database.

Sorry I didn't think to check multiple plants before starting a bug report!

That was the first one where I noticed the lack. I guess I never marked it as "HAVE" in my list because I never had any extra seeds.

Vickie, I didn't list any "WANTS" in my plant list because I mainly grow from seed, and participating in seed swaps means that I have more seeds than I can plant.

Most of my new "WANTS" come from seeing something in a seed swap and deciding that I HAVE TO grow that someday.

Whew, that was scary. I love that feature.

I love that feature also, mostly because it normally gives the location where plants are being grown.

I use the 'want' feature in a slightly different way. I look at my sister's plant list and anything she has that I want, I mark as a 'want.' She can then just go to my list, limit it to 'wants' and get a list of plants I'd like her to chunk out for me. Works well. Glad it is still working properly.

Pretty slick!

I'm going to ask that my misleading title be changed!
