Poor Dave...

"Easily pleased" wasn't quite so easy! I mean, we all know he's a programming genius and all, but I have to say that the poor guy was a might bit frustrated with this feature this afternoon! So you may be thinking "easily pleased", but he's probably thinking "if they only knew!".

But yes...we're happy with him too Green Grin! He's a keeper!

Really great feature and easy to use! It makes the starred pages MUCH more usefull.

BTW, I can never stop myself for asking for more and more and more.

Would it be worth the screen real estate to add a column (automatically populated) with the name of the author or contributor of the post, idea, blog article, plant entry or photo?

When Jay posted the request for this feature, I was over the moon. I had been thinking about it for awhile but didn't have the nerve to ask *Blush*

I was thinking Dave could allow us to change the titles of the starred pages but being the idiot I am am about most things computer, I LOVE the notes feature. So simple and so easy Hurray!

I can't begin to imagine all the work you both do for this website but I sure hope you know how much we appreciate it. Lovey dubby

Thank you so much Thumbs up

The system says that when it can't find the item that was originally starred. This is most likely caused by things that were deleted.

I just now updated the system to try to remove these automatically for you.

Like the "Random ideas", it keeps drawing me back into browsing the list of "stars" and taking a second look.

Memory lane!

It's a great addition, thank you!

@dave Back on the topic of sorting. Would it be any easier to making it automatically sort the list alphabetically base on our notes?
Example: If I have 5 starred pages dealing with hibiscus, I would start each note with the word Hibiscus, such as Hibiscus - Hardy Hibiscus, Hibiscus growing, Hibiscus moscheutos etc. That way all similar pages would be automatically grouped together.

I have updated the feature to sort by your notes. You can now control the sorting by editing the notes. Smiling
