The Garden Web Administrator.

13 years ago

The Administrator of this site: If you can read this, take a look at the messages in this "Roses in Aus" page, you've allowed someone to plaster their stupid advertisment all over the messages so they cannot be read - 'Pregnancy and Parenting, etc, etc.'! Do you expect contributers to persist when you allow this? The messages simply cannot be read!!! It's ridiculous!

Hear hear Funnel Web. This used to be such a great site but now people are deserting it by the truckload. They won't have any contributors at all if they carry on like this.

Thanks triciac, I was beginning to think I imagined it. I'm not game to 'click' on the doubly underlined green highlighted 'Parenting' word in my message. Why do they (the administrators) allow all this interfering advertising? I guess they'll accept anyone willing to pay what-ever fee even it is affronting and an insult to human intelligence no matter how offensive or in-your-face it might be. Maybe it's time for rose folks to start up their own site. I've no idea how to though.

I watched the video and fired up the application. It looks like a nice marketing tool for the company that appears to specialize in hardscape products like pavers. The basic idea seems that people play around with the tool and then call the company to come out and do the design and installation. I only took a very quick look at the tool but I did not see much in the way of plants. - Brent

Garden Web 'My Page' question ...
Q

It used to be that when you clicked on "Edit" of "My Page" there was a box at the very bottom that said 'Home Page' and you could put a link to your site such as a blog or home page. A friend had made a home page for me with a few pictures etc. which is linked above so when "My Page" was clicked you had the option to click on the 'Home Page' or blog of that person, but now there is no such option on my "My Page". You can still put it on the "Optional Link URL" box, but as you say that takes a little time. Just wondering if the 'Home Page' option on "My Page" had disappeared for everyone. Click the 'Edit' button on your "My Page" to see.

You are right, This used to be a wonderful site and we had many experts to give us good advice from all over Australia. There was always someone from whom we could take notes. Also in the old days, if the Administrator read reports like yours here(which they did) they would have cut us off and not allowed us to make remarks, so things have changed and it is all about advertising now. As it is a free site on which we can post, even if it isn't a good report, at least we can talk.

Being a little reluctant to 'click' on ad-hoc sites, is this site, 'onitsuka, etc.', a problem? Is it anymore than blatant advertising? Is it a security risk?
