When you are looking for popular threads from the GW threads that we all were used to seeing...look at the main forum you are interested in. In this Container forum, look to the right side of the main page . Look under the " Garden Web has joined Houzz" you will see " latest Activity" if you are looking at the latest post. Click the drop down button and choose " popular" you will find all of the great informative threads. You can copy paste these right into the box that you are typing your post. I just did this for the thread about finding ingredients by state and region.

Administration is working on some that were truncated ( shortened) and are working on fixing those great threads . They said they have the information saved and are working on fixing this problem.

I just wanted to share some of the Information that I have learned with you all. We all are trying to learn this new system...

It nice to see you all here and I look forward to seeing all of my friends . ;-)

I hope this helps!!!

Take care,

Laura

Hey Laura, I tried your suggestion & found the pull down menu has 4 choices. This thread WAS under unanswered so I figured i'd change that. it was interesting to look through the different categories. I wonder how they determine the featured threads?

That was very thoughtful of you Rob.. I certainly do appreciate you taking the Time to post a reply. I thought it would help someone, so I'm glad it was you!!!

Good question about how they determine the " featured" threads! ???

Again, you are very kind.

Have a great evening!!

Thx ravencajun. I'm going to print out the instructions for using SR, use Safe Mode. I'm hoping this will get rid of the NSIS errors, Script Errors & also Flash Cards Not Responding. I've been having these annoying problems for over two months now. My only concern is the regular updates that Windows automatically downloads. My update review shows 13 updates done already in Feb...I assume they'll all be deleted too. Will I need to tell the 'puter to update windows or will it once again automatically download those updates.

I should mention that I just took AOL off my computer after 8 years. I understand AOL leaves bits of itself all over as well. When I followed your instructions I ran into a snag but tried to continue on. Hopefully Norton is gone.

Yes. The pricing was cheaper since a plug-in power supply was used. You still need to know the exact dimensions of your cabinet undersides. Not all led lighting is equivalent. There are great variations in output efficiency, color rendition index, raw lumen output, ... There are threads on recessed lighting and Ucl which discuss options in greater detail.

Thanks for that, Digit! I will now be posting pics again—even if they only look like ugly links! I have SO many things blooming in my yard already I’ve been WANTING to post some pics! But have more I need to download/upload (never have figured out which is which!) into the computer first—that I hadn’t bothered since I “couldn’t” post them anyway! Will do it in the next couple days! I don’t have a google+ page! And I don’t intend to ever have one! If I sign up for google+ my WebAlbums will be TOTALLY messed up—as I discovered when I tried to help somebody, last fall, try to figure out how to use Picasa and WebAlbums! It’s a total mess in WebAlbums in “+”, and as near as I can tell, once you sign up for it it’s TOO LATE, and the “new and improved” version (NOT!) is all you have access to anymore. As a matter of fact, if some of your pics really did “disappear,” I wonder if that had something to do with it! I haven’t “updated” Picasa for a couple years either (I just keep telling it NO when it pleads with me to update it!) ‘cause I’m afraid that’ll somehow get me into the google+ version—and I won’t be able to opt out of it again! I REALLY don’t understand why these companies keep trying to “improve” something that’s already working really, really well! (google maps REALLY screwed up their “maps” too, IMO! But I still have a link to Olde Google Maps—that still works! If they ever discontinue the olde maps, I don’t have a CLUE what I’ll use for maps! Bing, IMO, is at least as bad as the “new” google maps! HELLO out there! STOP “fixing” things that don’t need fixing!!!) (And my avatar on FB, which I haven’t signed into for a year!, is an airplane! And that’s the only place I have an avatar at all!!!) I don’t know why you didn’t “need to” change your setting to “enable” PMing, but maybe that’s something else they’ve changed recently—like putting in the ability to enter your zone (tho I’m gonna leave mine in as my “last name!”) When I went to that page I had to change the settings to get them right to enable PMing. Maybe now it’s the default when GW folks get into the houzz site. But there is SOMETHING that needs to be “fixed” for David, because there’s no “message box” visible on His Page, and until that’s there, nobody can PM him. I’m sure it’ll all get straightened out! We are, gradually, getting back to “our old GW!” Never would have believed that when I showed up here the first day and went—SAY WHAT????? I’m really impressed with the admins and all they’ve done! As for me! Maybe I’ll take some more pics tomorrow! Skybird

Glad you found this helpful too!! Im Sure there are others threads about questions and answers on different forums.. But it was just by chance I posted here and Rob found it handy!! It was right at the switch over and we were so lost!! ;-)

I'm glad you found time to check out the forums . Hope your snow is finally melting.. We had an ice storm last week and two days ago, the switch was moved to spring.. I'm hoping it stays that way...

The test forum is a place to try and link things or to practice posting pics..

I was having trouble doing the copy/paste thing, so I needed a place to try different things.:-)

It didn't occur to me that it would be listed along with the other forums.

We had almost two feet of snow just last week, almost all of it has melted in the last two days. I just came back inside from sifting pine bark, it's still 50 degrees out, supposed to get up to 70 by Wednesday.

Hey Laura,

When I went to the nursery a couple weeks ago, I asked about Plumeria's, the woman said they will have some in May.:-) I'll have to go check them out.(maybe get one?) I forgot to ask about Adeniums.

I keep looking & looking at that flower but can't remember what it was... It was the first one to bloom & was very small. I just thought it looked very cool against the night sky.

My cat (Jasmine) loves to garden w/ me.

Take care.

LOL! I wish I could have my cat outside with me. She's feral, and a love, but I'm petrified if she gets out, she'll just take off. We're extra careful to make sure doors and windows are closed as we move around. Jasmine looks like she's smelling the flowers!

Yes! Finally! Snow is melting. Every day I see more actual ground, and I actually wore my slippers out on the back porch this afternoon (2nd floor) to fill the bird feeder! First time without boots in what seems like a very long time.

It's kind of fun exploring a new place. It's almost like the first time I found the original Garden Web. Thank you all for all the help!

Jasmine actually loves eating certain flowers, as you can see in the 2nd pic, she chose flowers over the big patch of catnip right behind her.

Since this is a "tech" thread, I will point out that (in case everyone hasn't already figured it out.) if you put your cursor on a picture, doing that, will enlarge the photo.

On that note, has anyone figured out or tried to use the Video function?

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask Al a OT question, he said if I went to his profile page, I could "send a message" from there, I tried that but didn't see any way to send a message.?

Does anyone know anything about that? Do I have to "follow" him?

Hi Rob!

To send a message to Al or anyone that has it enabled, just click on their pic beside their name it will take you to their houzz page . If you look in the upper right corner you should see ' message'. Click on that and it will give you the box to send a message to him.. I'll try and take a pic and post of where it's located for you!!

I'll be right back...

No.. You don't have to follow someone to send a message

Oh that's great!! I'm glad it's fixed and you can send messages!! I'm sure others have tried as well. He does get a lot of questions!! Lol. It keeps him busy I'm sure!!

Here is another pic of the big guy!!! This was a year or two before the picture from above. I lifted it ( bare rooted and trimmed the roots) every two years to expose more of the Caudex. You can see the other trees in the back ground. It started out small and the ball ( belly) was so small and hardly visible. It has taken on a unique personality!!

Hi Laura and Rob, now we are three :-) I just returned to GardenWeb after about 8 or 9 years absence (didn't have a garden) ... and have been quite lost the past few days. I, too, have been trying to send Al a message (because he used to have Melianthus bushes and i want to beg him for an offset) (of course I'll give him something nice in return) but have tried all kinds of things, still not successful. I've gone into Advanced Settings, and I've gone to Al's profile, but not yet found a way to message any of the oldtimers with whom I used to have contact. Will one of you please try to send me a message, as a test, please? thank you ...

Hi Rob ,

i think he did have some issues last year and he was smelling the fires and they were close but not in danger..

This season is different, he might be close... You can always ask him on the " anything" thread.. He will receive an email update. Those are horrible fires out in California and I hope he is safe...

i need to update myself on that same thread... Lol. I see you have been up to buying new things? Lol. I'll take a look later today... Have to get ready for work!!

have a great day!!

Hey Laura,

Do you know what kind of Gardenias you have? Can you post a pic?

Hi Rob!!

My Gardenia tree is growing in my back yard and I transplanted it many years ago from my mothers yard when she was getting ready to sell her house. I grew up with these Gardenias and we always called them " old fashioned". It's probably not the real common name, but they are different from the trees you find in the garden centers . They are a very large bloom and have a very
strong fragrance. If you would like, I can start a cutting for you? These grow so large and my tree in the back yard needs to be cut back. It really needs some attention. It loves water too!

ill look for another pic for you.. The leaves are huge and a deep glossy dark green .

Hope you are enjoying your summer!!

sorry I haven't been around.. I have been working quite a bit and when I do work, it's long hours..

Take good care!!

sorry the pic was posted there.. Lmao ;-)

Again I have to ask, (don't get me wrong, I appreciate them.) what is the purpose of the "Like", other than to let the person know you liked their comment? Is there a point system I'm unaware of? is there a real difference between likes and Thank you's

The reason I ask is because, some days my email is full of likes - Keep'em Coming! ;-)

Lol.. I totally understand your question and I believe it's just a way to let someone know that you " like " what they have to say.. Same as hitting an " I agree button". It just gives the poster a " nod " from other people to say.. " Yup, I agree with you Rob!"

I think houzz has tried to make things more friendly like Facebook as to letting others give you an acknowledgment and then the original poster has the option to thank the person leaving a response.

Just trying to be friendly.. No points to get anything. Just a way to let others see how many people might " agree" with the person making the post...

Here you go, Rob!

This is for the beautiful sunflower...

Have a great Night!!!

It is really kind of fun.. I like to hit the like button and when it is your thread, you thank the people leaving responses to your original post . You would be the only one to thank others if you started the thread.

like that pic, eh?

Lololollollol. I just left it on Barbs pics on the Plumeria forum! Hahahahaha

she will like it too!!!

what a beautiful yellow Lab. ,. Awww. I had a yellow and a black lab years ago. Her name was Chelsea and the black one was named " Bear Boy". He was found and we rescued him.. What a sweet dog.. I loved them so much..

Sniff. They are in doggie heaven now, but I alway love seeing labs. They are the best..

Great pic!!!

That was a dog I saw last year at Evergreen lake, He couldn't get enough of chasing that branch.

Thanks for the explanation.
