| Hi everyone,
As you may have noticed, we've been sprucing up the site a bit. Among other things, we've added new ways to upload photos and email notifications of post replies. We are still cleaning out cobwebs and weeding some areas of the site, but we are also working on some bigger projects like a better search engine (yay!) and a mobile app. We'd also like to get some feedback from you. What enhancements or additions would you like to see? What do you love? What do you hate? Think big and small! We can't promise the moon, but please know that we will read and consider every one of your ideas and suggestions. We appreciate your loyalty and dedication to our site and we know how important your community is to you. Help us make it even better! Please use this post to offer your feedback. But, as always, you are welcome to contact me directly by clicking on my profile page. Best regards, Tamara Amey

| Dont spend too much time on a mobil version. My Galaxy Note is no longer cutting edge and I usually just plain use the regular website on it and my old Galaxy on all boards I frequent. Axis and Allis forum mini is pretty functional. Just keep it simple and functional. Simple college kid programming tech Facebook beat out the flashier MySpace for a reason. |
|
| Yes, please an edit post option! And a link to Shrubs from Trees and vice versa. Love the new photo option - thanks! |
|
| And a link to Shrubs from Trees and vice versa. Ha! That has always been annoying for me too! Kudos for finally getting the search engine going. It really really could use some work. Hopefully you can search for a users post to. I wish I could enter my user name and see all the posts I've posted. |
|
| I'll be the umpteenth poster to add: Edit post! Also, it'd be a jump into this decade to make in-line post links work, instead of just being raw text that someone has to copy into a browser... just about all forums allow you to put one or more links right in your main post and they automatically turn into "links" when you hit the post button. |

| whatever.. my typing/spelling is part of the charm of my posts.. if you cant decipher pig latin.. whatever.. lol .. newbie posting of pix.. seems to end up with a lot of the pix turned 90 degrees left .. what.. counterclockwise ... top at 9 o'clock ... it really hurts my neck ... i dont use the GW pix posting.. so i have no further ideas in this regard ... and i have no idea why it seems to be the infrequent or new visitor, rather than the peeps who post all the time ... ken could you add a function key.. or whatever its called.. to add this.. w/o the quotes?? ===>>>> '....' .. it would really speed my ability to reply .. lol

| oh yeah, it has been awhile but in the past GW has had some unscrupulous advertisers. A real big turn off when I can't send my mother a link to a thread because I'm worried she will download some spamware virus. But once again you may have already taken care of this and I understand you need some advertisers. |

| I would like a post count as well as a way to look back at all my previous posts. Also a way to see when there is an update in a thread since the last time you logged in and a way for you to click on the thread so that you end up at the newest post in that thread. |
|
| Also a way to have moderators to bump up old threads and merge similar posts. Also a way for experts like certified horticulturists, arborists, and master gardeners to be specified beside their user name when they post. Of course there would need to be a way for these credentials to be vetted by the moderators. |

| Would love a search engine!!!!!! |
|
| Hi Tamara, I have some feedback but it is given with the assumption that posters actually read the instructions: Could you somehow give recommendations for posters requesting ID's? More often than not, these posters are new here and we go back & forth with the same questions. - where are you posting from? - please include a pic, the more the better. - include detail and some means of scale in the pic. - in addition to foliage, include either flower or fruit. If you could include the above we would be eternally grateful. sam_md - |

| Hi everyone! You asked and we listened. Today we are very excited to be debuting our newest feature -- post editing! To use this feature, go back to the post you wish to correct and you'll find the link under the 'My Clippings' links on the right side of the page. I want to give a special shout out to all the testers who tried to break the editing tool. ;) Your feedback was insightful and invaluable. Thank you! You may have also noticed that we adjusted the login cookie awhile back so that you should not have to login repeatedly. Stay tuned -- we have more cool things in the works! As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Best regards, |
|
| Thanks! Can't wait to see all the changes. |
