I have a website I pay for for my English Bullies but its dummy proof. I know there are free sites but I need an easy one. LOL Let me know if you can help.Brandy

This disease was discovered in 1941 in parts of the USA and Canada according to a site I found. Another site I found talks about using the disease to eliminate the invasive multiflora rose. It's a good idea as it crowds out native plants and could be a problem for farmers, but not so great an idea for us rose growers. This site is the one I've linked, It is chock full of other info, so if you use the find and replace mode by clicking and holding down the ctrl key on your keyboard, and then pressing the F key, then using the word "rosette" you will find the info. I wonder if that's why there is very little really to combat the disease on garden roses. Farmers have different needs than gardeners, and I do understand why they would want to eliminate multifloras, instead of get rid of the disease. After all land is money for them. It's like the wolves are good wolves are bad debate, good when it comes to thinning out diseased deer etc, and bad when they eat livestock. Of course the livestock is money in that case, but the wolves are native. No easy answers sometimes. Yeona, a rose lover, (love the length, variety and color of bloom) and hater, (hate the diseases, blackspot especially) in one. Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Rosette disease in the eastern two-thirds of the United States

Hi all, This information is for everyone, but I wanted to specifically reply to Jodi on this one. Thanks for providing that critical feedback. I took some time to answer your questions and address the points you laid out. In the new version you cannot rearranged the order of photos you've posted in the exact order you want them. While you were able to organize by moving photos, albums, and whatnot, this was the case, initially. However, a few weeks back we were able to re-introduce drag and drop custom sorting under the ‘organize’ feature. If you need any help on that, I actually just put together an article covering drag and drop. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/17kJOfn When you are in an album you cannot upload photos to it without going to your library and selecting the same album you are already in. If you’re speaking of a ‘contextual’ upload button, you’re right (by ‘contextual’, I mean that if I’m in X album, and I click upload, X album should already be picked as my destination folder. This was how it worked on the old site). However, this will be changed very shortly. We will make the upload button at the top of the screen contextual, it will behave like it did on the old site. You can no longer view all images unless you're in organize view and why they call it organize when, like I said, you cannot move the images around in a custom order. Correct, we’ve moved back to pagination (page numbers) instead of infinite scroll. We were receiving a *very* high amount of negative feedback regarding infinite scroll, whereas now we receive much less negative feedback on pagination. That being said, we’re always discussing ways to improve photobucket, and the ‘view all’ idea is something being discussed. And ... you can no longer share your album in slideshow mode. Ah, but now you can! Check out this article on sharing your album slideshow (as well as embedding it, etc.): http://bit.ly/ZKZEhf On that note, I just want you to know that there is a logged bug, that our team is working on, where the slideshow doesn’t present your images in the order that they’re actually arranged within your album. D’oh! I actually found that out after spending an hour arranging photos of my ridiculous dog (http://bit.ly/17kLvcU). Plus ... when they migrated into the new version I lost all of my notes and comments under certain images. I put a "." (period) in the title of every image I've ever shared at the KT so I don't post it again. Now I no longer have a complete record of those images. grrr. Dang. I’m sorry about that. If you wouldn’t mind, please open up a ticket and address me (Billy) directly. I want to try and see if we can recover those. Last week I went from 60% full to being shut down yesterday because I had used 100% of my allotted space even though I had not uploaded but a few photos. In order to gain some space back, I had to delete several albums. Again, write in so we can make sure this wasn’t in error. This does bring up a good point, though. PB has changed their subscription model, which can be viewed over here: http://photobucket.com/pricing A few weeks ago I decided I was going to leave PB so I've been looking into other services. Unfortunately I have auto-payment set up for my paid account and payment was due last week before I could move my files so I'm stuck for another year. They better start improving their services asap. Writing them does no good whatsoever. I've never head back from them when I've written with a question, comment, complaint or taken one of their surveys. Ever. I really don’t know why you haven’t received any responses. True, they may be a bit belated from time to time, but there should always be a response to a user’s question (provided there’s nothing obscene!). We have, however, had issues where help tickets have been closed out automatically. We’re trying to troubleshoot the system we’re using, to ensure everyone receives an answer. For those with FireFox having trouble with Photobucket, you might try reinstalling or going back to all defaults. To do this go to Help>Troubleshoot Information>Reset FireFox. When I did this the auto-copy links option which wasn't working anymore was fixed. When you do this kind of reset, a folder showing all your Add-ons is dumped on your desktop so you know what you used to have installed so you can reinstall them. Thanks for sharing that tip, Jodi. A lot of times, there are conflicts with random add-ons and extensions, that goes for any browser. It also helps to make sure to clear your cache/cookies (as you’ve probably already heard from us :P). All that to say, thanks for your honest and critical feedback. We need it, we do take it into consideration, and we actually do want our users to have the best experience possible! The move to the new version had been difficult for some users, and we really want to do our best to make that change. Please, reach out to me in a ticket. Would you title it “For Billy, GardenWeb”? I’ll keep a look out for it. So thanks, all, for your patience. Keep an eye out - in the coming weeks, we'll be introducing some updates to the media detail page. It's going to look a lot better, work a lot better, and just be more awesome in general. This post was edited by Billy_at_Photobucket on Thu, Apr 25, 13 at 15:33

This is the 2nd in a series of 4 photo tours of Public California Garden Spots in the Silicon Valley Area. It is being reposted here using thumbnails to satisfy demand for viewing by folks who have only dial-up modems and were unable to tolerate loading photo links to photobucket.com. Click on Thumbnails to Enlarge Them It's wonderful to be taking Monday off. And I just can't get this gardening hobby out of the blood, needed sunshine for the flu and needed to feed my photographer's bent. So I went Japanese for the day ... And on inside the gate ... The nice thing about Japanese Gardens is that they have everything a good visual artist loves ... geometries, lines, textures, light, shade and color. I usually don't like to post my better photos on the web, but OK. There are some nice pics in what follows and in the next "I Think I'm Going Japanese #2" thread which has photos from Hakone Gardens above Saratoga and Monte Soreno, here in the South Bay. There's nothing that makes a good picture about the following, but it does show some of the wonderful textures visible in the garden ... I like this shot ... Those are from the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose's Kelly Park. It's a nice peaceful place where you can sit down and let your mind settle. If you are into visual arts, Japanese Gardens offer numerous opportunities to explore those things which ultimately make your art good. I hope you enjoy the Pics as much as I enjoyed visiting the gardens this morning. Have a nice one.
