I don't think anyone could beat Kathy's tutorial. That's wonderful.

Karen

Gosh thanks! I was proud how far I've gone into geekdom.

I really really really needed that laugh too! thanks!

I have no idea how to do those kind of things on this fancy computer thingy I have I only learned how to upload a video to youtube last week

but I AM always willing to learn

so trish are you asking for things that should go into a 'all things plants for dummies' kind of thread? I can think of some but they seem so basic now

DG was my very first experience with online forums etc so I was REALLY lost. Things like how to quote a post, how to upload a photo, and how to cut copy and paste were all foreign to me back then

Yup Angl...hover on up thar! Remember the FIRST day....start there! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, " Site Navigation for Dummies" (saury Dahlia...whilst swirling thru the daisies...I incidentally stole yer 'spression)!

Hi Karen and yes with you.

Trish,
The setup by Kathy of the Orchid forum on Cubits was absolute perfection!
It had EVERYTHING and IMHO should be used as a model for all forums on ATP.
It had it all, in that it built community by being personal (ie: interviews, polls, sharing members passions in the gardening realm, etc). Those things need to be kept forum specific.
Each ATP specialty plant forum could benefit greatly by having this functionality.
If it is all segregated ,you lose the sense of community so important among the separate plant type enthusiasts.
Thanks, Trish!

Janice-

We have a lot of fun ideas that we can't wait to implement. We've been planning and creating in our heads for months.

As good as Dave is, even he isn't fast enough to implement so many ideas all at once

But they will come, and I think you will be very pleased!

Gosh Janice, you make me blush! That is such great acknowledgment! I had no idea it was working so well for others. Thanks!
Trish, can you give a hint or two.........

Ever wonder how many members/articles/posts we have? Click on the "Memberlist" at the bottom of every page to find out.

Different ways of searching:
sitewide at the top of every page
forum search- at the top of the forum
clicking on a username allows you to view all of the posts made by that person

I'd need more coffee and sleep to come up with more off the top of my head.

Uh Trish I don't think coffee and sleep go together!

Doug

If you are tired enough they do (I can attest!)

Doug

but I was thinking the same thing this morning, need coffee and sleep

One of the two, then

Right now I vote for sleep. The coffee isn't working. Well, maybe a little.

Kathy, no need to blush! Janice is correct, it was one of the best places to post ever!

Thanks Ursula!!!
