I would use it. I use the DG one and one issue is I'm not real sure about the scientific names of my plants and have no idea what a cultivar is so I rarely find a match in their system. Another issue is The "disable" button; it is great for hiding the plant so it's just part of my inventory list for me but not available for trading at this time. Problem is, no one else seems to realize what the disable button is for so everyone looks like they have a hundred plants to share.

Seems like an easy fix for that is to opt-IN for trading instead of opting OUT. If we have to click a check-box to make it available for trading, that should reduce that issue

That's exactly my plan.

I have watched and read this thread since you started it Dave and if it's what I think it is, I will definitely use it.

I'm thinking it's similar to something you did before??

I will definitely use it.

Thank you!

Similar to my previous work but much upgraded and enhanced, of course.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Dave Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it, love it, love it!
I would use it. I've been dreaming of it. And YES!

Well, I think that feature is a good idea! I would use it!

I thought so... you always do things RIGHT. (which is why this is such a great site)

Do your magic, then!

For the tech-impaired (like me) it's all magic, anyway!
