Wshsen you would like to save a post, simply click on the "clip this post" and it will take you to the place to save it. There you have the option to save or not. I have to get in mine and delete some stuff as it's full.

I'll have to try it too. I save a lot of stuff but in another folder on th hard drive. This would be simpler

This is the greatest thing since....well, I don't know what. But it works! And I'm a magnet for any biting insect. You do have to keep the batteries charged. I replaced mine with rechargeables. If you don't hear the fan whirring, yours need fresh batteries. I've worn this at the waist while weeding in my moist shade garden in shorts and got no mosquito bites. I put it on when walking the dog or taking garden tours. Love it! However, it doesn't keep the gnats from biting. Apparently they aren't affected by the vapor. Gnat bites are horrid, but they aren't as prevalent as mosquitoes. I don't care how much the refills (or batteries, for that matter) cost, I'm keeping my personal repeller at the ready!

Green Tomatoes-clipping leaves does it work?
Q

Hi littlecity, Welcome to GardenWeb. I really wish you had posted your question before taking such a drastic measure. While clipping leaves may work, it also can lead to sunscald, a yellowing of the side of the tomato exposed to the sun. Hopefully that won't be a problem for you. To speed ripening late in the season, it is generally recommended that you "root prune" your plants by either grasping the main stem close to the ground and give it a good jerk while twisting slightly, or taking a shovel and driving the blade into the ground 8-10" a few inches from the main stem on two sides. What that does is stress the plant so that it "panics" and starts ripening the fruit earlier than it would normally.

How do I delete some of my clippings?
Q
Comments (2)
OK you obviously know where the files are on the computer, we'll assume here they are in My Documents/Clippings. This means they are all in a sub folder of My Documents in the folder Clippings. Right click the Start button click Explore in the pop up and a new window appears - Windows Explorer On the left side near the top look for My Documents click the small plus + sign beside it and other folders that are inside that folder now show underneath click the Clippings folder and all the contents now appear on the right side of your screen. To select those to delete one at a time simply right click on any file in the right side and in the pop up click Delete. Confirm and it is gone. To delete more than one at a time hold down the CTRL button on the keyboard then click each item to be deleted so it becomes highlighted. When ready release the CTRL button, right click on any highlighted file and click Delete in the pop up. Confirm. To delete a contiguous batch click the first one to be deleted to highlight it, hold down the Shift key and click the last one to be selected. Now all those in between are highlighted, right click on any one of those and click Delete in the pop up. Confirm. Done, assuming that is what you want.

What IowaCommute said worked for me! But I cannot get my garden web username to what it originally was - I had to add an "s" to get Houzz to allow it! Very frustrating! I wasn't successful even turning it to birchpoint_gw as many of you were.

Cool, would you believe I never looked at this before? Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Clippings don't stay forever. GardenWeb does not archive, so if you have "clipped" a thread, and that thread is bumped off the forum - your clipping is gone also.

Some forums move really slow....so they have years of info. But the KT moves pretty fast. The last page, Page 67, is from early February. If you had clipped something from then, by next week - it will probably be gone.

If you really want to save something long term - copy & paste to a document on your computer and save it.

....hmmm....Maybe the clippings DO stick around. I experimented with the last page and clipped a post. The thread has now been bumped off page 67, but I can still see what I clipped. I clipped just a post in the thread - not the whole thing though.

So..nevermind.... :)

Wow...I never knew this feature existed. Guess this proves I'm not very observant. This does sound like something I would use a lot, especially for recipes.

I had never paid particular attention to it........over there ------------->
I guess I thought it must have something to do with plants or an ad or something???

I have thought at times that it would be helpful if GW had archives! Imagine that! They do!!

I believe I will use it!

Thanks for bringing up the topic, Msmagoo!

It's located, in green print, on the right of your screen.

50 is the max number of clippings you can save at any one time. You can make them either private or allow others to see 'your' clippings via a link on your Member Page. I find it interesting to check out see most clipped clippings every so often.
