Chris, NICE job!!! Can you take a pic of the whole tree? Anirbn, My mom fell and hurt herself badly after she got out from a week in the hospital, so I totally forgot too. My bad. It started getting lighter in coloring..It was loosing it's vivid green look because the temps have gotten so cold. But I stuck it in the house and it seems to be coloring up again/. I will take a pic tomorrow..) I have been trying to grow it Bonsai style since I don't need it to be big and take up room. So it's pretty small..

Sometimes I will get an email directly from a poster on the GW. The emails may be someting I deem not to be private and will copy and paste the reply mail to a thread here. In some cases the email needs no public posting, but that all depends on the subject matter and whether its useful to others who post in the forums. Yes, there are some poeple here who prefer to be anonomous to all others, but if they send you a private email and its for something personal, it would usually be kept confidential if both correspondents preferred it not to be made public. Check your own web page and you have the option of making your email address public or private. Also, you have the opton of allowing another registered GW member to send you a note via the GW web site as well.

They do need to check it. And most people have not enabled messaging-- I just looked at several of the HD regulars' profiles. I bet they're not even aware of it. You'll get an email saying you have a message. Otherwise there's no notification on GW itself to show you have a message. But it's not fool-proof--I had a month-old message that I never got an email for.

Hi Linda, You probably aren't overlooking anything. Each member must choose whether or not to allow private messaging in "Settings". If they do so a link will appear on the right side of the cover photo on their "home page" (and yes, I just figured this one out!) If they choose not to, it seems you, me, and a lot of other folks here spend precious time looking for something that's not there! If memory serves, the old format stated whether or not you could contact someone privately. I don't quite understand the "Follow" feature, which is another choice you have in "Settings". I think if someone allows you to "Follow" them and you do so, you receive an alert whenever that person makes a post or responds to an existing one. I think I chose to "follow" the 3 or so people who first "followed" me; in hindsight I maybe wish I hadn't because I can't follow everyone, and don't want anyone I don't follow to feel slighted. Am I making sense?! Anyway, I hope the info I provided is correct ;-D and helps solve your problem Feel free to share with us any tips you have about this new GardenWeb. It is still a bit confusing & intimidating to navigate. On another note, I hope you are able to attend the Spring '16 swap in Gadsden. If it's anything like the one we just had, you'll be VERY glad you did! Take care Linda! NelsonLoquat - coming into bloom now. Wonderful, very powerful fragrance!
