Hey everyone!

I will be doing some updates to the forum over the coming hours and days. I don’t anticipate any issues but if you have issues with anything that may be it. If you do have issues please do let me know so I can resolve them or watch out for them next time.

Once updated I will let everyone know of the updates that we implemented, many are backend to make things run smoothly, other are new features (such as direct video uploads!!!).

As always feel free to contact myself or any of the mods if you have comments or concerns.

J.

I believe that PMs photo option is disabled for security reasons and also to prevent abusive uploads. Is that correct, @H2O?

Thanks for the support everyone! Although some new features and an updated look helps, really it’s all of the aweosme members we have here what makes this place somewhere to keep coming back to share.

I was in Ontario for a week (which gave me the time to do the update) but unfortunately I caught a nasty bug while I was there and haven’t been at work all week and only just checked in most days. Excited to share some of the new features and really get the full potential out of this update!

@TooMuchGarlic, Willy is correct, unfortunately we decided not to add that feature as it has a great potential to hurt the forum, there is no way to limit the number of photos someone shares (only the size) so if someone wanted to, they could share thousands and thousands of photos and clog up our server. T-Shirt are on my summer list! I’m hoping Hermione will be able to finish our full logo this spring and I am able to get custom printed shirts through work at cost!

Along with that will be stickers as well, a friend of mine runs a sign printing company and she said she could make up stickers as cost as well!! There will likely two types, a solid more affordable one that I can send to Willy to include for Seed Bank donations and orders as well as a vinyl die cut if we can get a design simple enough to be used.

As always please send your suggestions this way and we can keep improving!

Also with spring here (or just around the corner) we can start planning some meet ups, I will be putting one on this year and planning at least one field trip the Jordan River bogs. Hopefully we can get one together on Ontario as well!

I’ve seen an interesting plant swap in another group where you sign up, everyone’s names get traded around and then you send plants to the person you get. It can stay a mystery or can let your person know you got their name. Everyone obviously needs to be happy with potentially getting plants they already have but it opens up a chance at getting a box of plants you don’t have. There is typically a minimum “value” of plants/seeds needed but there is also no limit. I know some growers in the other group set out extremely rare or large plants to their mystery person.

If we could get enough people I would be down for organizing it!

That sounds really neat, I would be interested in participating! The participants could also probably post their "top 3 wishlist" to give the growers an idea on what they're looking for too.
