Comments (14)Maybe this forum might not seem user-friendly to some, but all I care about is that the users are friendly, and answer queries and admire people's plants - I am a long-time fan of Garden Web and in particular of Cacti & Succulents and House Plants and love coming here - we have no website like this in Ireland, old-fashioned though you might think it, and I always look forward to coming here when I get the chance. And if it hadn't been for GW we wouldn't have found our heirloom busy lizzie, which we did thanks to Flora from the UK. Plus I learned about hoyas here, and ceropegias, and sought them out. Three boxes of baby astrophytums testify to my discovery of cacti on this very forum. Thanks, all !...See MoreTrouble navigating around here...help!
Comments (6)Here's a tip for working this forum or others like it. When you go open a post to read it or perhaps to respond, right-click on the post and open it in a new window. (Your original window remains open and under the new window.) Read and/or reply as desired. When you are done with the current window, merely delete it (click the X-box) and you will be returned immediatley to the original window (that is already open). This saves a lot of time (and data transfer) in reloading the original forum-post-list and furthermore, you'll be returned to the same place on the list where you were before (since it was not closed). Second tip: If you will be opening temporary windows as described above, consider this. Before you begin, resize your main window. Make it a little less wide than your screen; leave it full height. Click (and hold down the button) on the top title bar and drag the window right or left until the left margin is near the left side of your screen. If you have you dispaly set to "tile" new windows, the next window you open will appear a bit to the right of window no. 1. Part of window 1 will be peeking out from behind window no. 2. This serves as a reminder of where you are in a chain of opened windows....See MoreI've never been in a forum before and don't know how to navigate.
Comments (2)Click on my pic (or any other user's pic), then click on activities, then click on message. If there is no option to message that person, then they don't allow it for their profile. Hope I have helped!...See MoreFixer Upper / Window Replacement - Need help Navigating The Options!!
Comments (24)Tell me again what is specifically personal about "Chuck in a Truck". That is neither personal nor an unknown term in the contracting industry. It not meant to be derogatory in my estimation and is merely meant to refer to persons that are sole proprietors that have little to no overhead in comparison. If you take issue with Fridge, by all means, take it up with him/her. I would respectfully request that you deal with them by name and leave me out of the response. If you would like to discuss the cost of doing business in a more employee driven system and why those expenses may be higher, I would be happy to do so. Perhaps it will give you some more insight and a better understanding as to why and how things cost the way they do in a different type of organization. For the record, I have more than a few friends that are enormously successful and competent contractors as sole proprietors. I take no issue with that, but to make a comment with regards to "mark-up" that it is merely a company making some enormous profit on the consumer, it flatly false, uninformed, and somewhat irresponsible. You are quite right, it is and open forum and you are more than entitled to your opinion. I would only caution that if you are going to hold yourself out as a resource of information, that the information be somewhat enforceable and factually based is all. I would no more cast dispersions about sole proprietor contractors that paint them in a negative light than I would comment on any large group of persons that are as varied and different as the weather. Perhaps that would be advisable for everyone when it comes to levying negative commentary that they be based in fact rather than opinion....See MoreUser
