Photo Contest Winner: 2014 Avid Green Pages Reviewer Garden Ideas: Master Level Garden Sages I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! I helped plan and beta test the plant database.
I'm glad that I'm getting closer, but I still don't think I understand completely. If you already got the information you want, you don't need to keep answering my "cross-examination"!

You said:
>> to save a member site to go to it to view their pics, go to their forums, etc.... There are some members that I relate to for my garden ideas but may not want to contact directly just favorite their site for reference.

When you say "a member site", I'm not sure if you mean some part of this NGA website (garden.org) that the member created or is associated with. For example, members here have their Profile Page in THIS website (garden.org). Each Profile Page lists articles and "Ideas" they've written, their blog, things they've contributed to the Plant Database and companies they've written a review for. You can also view posts that they've made to threads in the forums in garden.org.

Here in NGA, we each have our "favorite forums", but we don't "own" our own forums, except for Moderators or Admins who do take care of specific forums.

If you just want a quick way to link to members' Profile Pages here in NGA, I can't think of anything other than going there (for example by clicking on the picture in the upper-left corner of each post), then copying the URL to a list you keep somewhere, or the blue custom menu bar. Or, once you went to their Profile Page, you could use your Browser's "Bookmark" feature, or "Favorites" feature to bookmark their profile page.


... or maybe you meant websites anywhere on the Internet, that an NGA member created or maintains.
For example, many NGA members came from the "Cubits" website, and still maintain their own sites over there.

For that, I don't know ANY way other than asking that member what website they have of their own, going there, and bookmarking it in your browser.

If you wanted a bunch of those "external" links handy here in NGA, I do the same thing with my signature block (below this post). If you make up a list of 4-10 URLs of websites you would like quick access to, with a short nickname for each site, I could turn them into a "signature block" that you would copy-paste into YOUR profile page's box for "Signature appearing below your posts:" That might be a little tricky, but let me know if you want to try.

I hope some part of this is helpful!
