Yes, getting these numbers into the newsletter is something I am going to do. I wanted to get it done last week but it didn't work its way to the top of my list.

And in addition to that Dave has apparently been tweaking the system because I no longer have that problem of it not wanting to load more then 1 picture from the same folder anymore. The fella is a genius!

I tip my hat to you.

The auto-date feature was added yesterday morning. It sure has been a huge time-saver for me. You just need to make sure the date is set correctly on your camera!

I know this would be a tradeoff between clutter and how easy it is to discover soemthing the first time, but ...
...
it just took me a while to discover the preferred way to submit a question or suggestion about suspect information. I had to search forum threads.

Would it be worthwhile adding a comment to some page in the Plant database?
Or making it a "did you know?" tip every few months?

"To suggest a correction or new data for the plant database,
click on "Edit" next to the data. Your changes will be reviewed by a moderator."

P.S.
The only way I found to "edit" a suspect picture was to add a comment, and send a tree-mail to the author of the photo.

This photo seems to be of a tree in winter, not a Penstemon:

I know that eventually (sooner rather than later) we're going to need an organized and easy to follow FAQ for the database.

For things like that, just scroll to the bottom for the actions. You can move the image to a different plant or simply propose the image be deleted.

Will the owner of the image get some type of message (t-mail) notifying them that the image posted is incorrect and being moved or deleted?
