I agree. The main thing is that at least so far you don't have those frustrating pop ups. Posting a photo is much easier.

I'd like the tea roses to be on the tropical forum

york_rose, No I have not tried Duchesses de Brabant yet. I had high hopes with the teas and noisettes, because I was able to grow Mdme. Alfred Carriere with no problem. However, I read on the web recently that Mdme. Alfred Carriere is not a true noisette, and may in fact be a bourbon. I guess this explains its hardiness in my zone. Currently I am down to thirteen tea roses, and only three are thriving. I am really surprised by the climber Souv. de Mdme. Leonie Viennot; instead of dying back, it has put on long canes last summer. Mlle. de Sombreuil is also turning out to be quite hardy, and so is Mdme. Joseph Schwartz. I am really hopeful that these could turn out to be the teas that will grow into the stunning roses that I've seen here.

Considering the way this website seems to get hacked so often and nobody seems able to fix it, I wonder if any of the "powers that be" would even know how to change the picture... They sure know how to fill the pages with advertising and popups and other junk though.

Glad you're back, Johanna! You're right - it IS a friendly forum. I think all of us here just like to hang out and share what we know, and there's ALWAYS something to learn. So please tell us - what Hoyas do you grow? And which one is your absolute favorite? Denise in Omaha

Kitchen floor plan review after changes based on forum suggestion

I'm not so sure it is possible to make things flow in that order 100% of the time. However, I think its a very good goal to streamline the order of operations as presented. I definitely think it is important to have prep space near a water source which is also close to a stove. But sometimes I do think that the hulking fridge just has a mind of it's own where it needs to/can go. I think if you keep the fridge at a reasonable distance to your wash/prep zone without having to make several left turns around your island you are within the realm of workability. Just my opinion. That said in cobbyw's case the suggestions Jillius made look feasible and that fridge move could be preferable to having it so far into the work zone.

It seems like a lot of stale posts are at the top, but that will be a passing annoyance.

The is an option in the upper right to select posts with the latest activity. Have you tried this?

The new format is an improvement over the old. But I have seen other forums with better features.

I think that all the garden web posts were added with the same date so some old ones floated to the top. That is a temporary problem.

I think it would be helpful to have a way to jump to the most recent comment of a thread. I'm following one with over 50 comments and you have to scroll a looong ways down to get to the new posts.

stickman42 - You can do that. From the front page of the forum, over on the right side next to Latest Activity, choose the middle block. This will change your layout to show a photo (if there is one) next to the title of the thread. Under the tiles will be the name of the person who started the thread and when it was started, as well as the date. It will also list the number of comments. Below that it will list the name of the last person to make a comment and when the comment was made, along with the first two lines of the comment. If you click on this comment, it will bring you to the bottom of the thread.
