Thanks for the info and glad you said that because that's 'my' time for visiting !

Thanks for the information, Peter.
Keep safe and warm in this wintry weather :o)

Thanks Peter...

Thanks Peter.....

thanks Peter.

Thanks guys. Hope the upgrade goes well.

Good luck with the upgrades guys!

Thanks for the heads-up Peter .....that's about my usual time for looking in!
Best of luck with the upgrades too.

Hope all goes well.....fortunately I'm still "in the land of nod" during those hours....lol

cheers for info guys

Thanks Peter !!

Good luck with the 'techie stuff' Peter.

Peter - is there likely to be any upgrade on our personal garden pages regarding editing and submissions in the near future..?

Thanks for the info.

Cheers Peter.

Thanks for the info...

Thanks folks. Hopefully you won't notice anything at all :o)

Bluespruce, We changed the personal garden page just before Xmas so you can order them by botanical name or date but no other immediate changes. I looked at your request and it isn't simple to do, but it is on our list of considerations.

I just visited the seed swap page to find it was blank - is that something to do with the upgrade or was this something from weeks back that I've only just noticed?! lol

Hi Sid,
That page is blank as no new seeds have been added recently. It isn't used much at all and we intend to get rid of it.

OH NO! PLEASE DON'T!!!!! :-( Back in the late summer and autumn several folks did post up their seeds for swaping on the page and, if my own experiences are anything to go by, each of those would have been contacted by 5 or 6 other members wanting to do a swap, so each time a posting is made more than, say, 6 or 7 people benefit from it....if 5 people made a posting, then that means around 30 people would have done seed swaps.....it's winter now of course, so there is no opportunity for collecting seed for swaping right now, but in the summer there will be young plants to swap and in autumn there will be seeds coming ready.....please don't get rid of it Peter <:-(

Agree with Sid, although I don't use it, I would have thought it a good asset to the site.....SAVE OUR SEED SWAP PAGE

Here, here Bluespruce! ;-)

I've used it, Peter! PLEASE don't send it into the ether/recycling bin!!

Maybe we should publicise it more WHEN the spring comes??

Hi Peter,
My garden should be up and running this year and a SEED SWAP PAGE would definitely be somewhere I will visit.....PLEASE DON'T WEED IT OUT !!!!

Please don't get rid of seed swap Peter, I've used it several times and only been on here a few months, can't wait to grow my swapped seed.
Good idea Spritzhenry, I only came across it by chance, maybe many people don't know it exists.
Going to look through my seed box later and see if I have any to list, now springs, hopefully, on the way.

Hi Peter iv found since ur up-grade My Pagers Load quicker is that to do with it? :) & now u talk of getting rid of the Seed Swap Page in your Comments?? I just want 2 say 2 every 1 if this does happen we can always make Blogs giveing details ect of what seeds we have up for grabs which will get us Swappers More Attention??? ;)

Hi folks,

We'll have a look at the seed swap later in the year but it wasn't used much at all last year and people seem to be swapding among themselves.

We've had a few teething problems with the upgrade - notification emails and emails to us weren't being sent for a while so we've had a bunch of them through at once. We're also getting an error occasionally when you try to post a blog with pictures in it. It says it has failed but was actually successful.

If you see it, please could you let us know. The error you see would be helpful.

Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience.

I had that this evening - I sent you a message about it. It says something like "sorry - we can't do this, please try again later". I ended up with 4 blogs posted, all the same, of course.

Other people must have had the same experience - Gee19 and Ponty - as they posted several identical blogs today.

Thanks, Spritz.

We're pretty sure we've fixed what was causing the blog problem so if anyone sees it again, please let us know.

Jacque, we thought GoY felt slightly quicker after the upgrade too but we haven't been measuring :o)

Thank you Peter

When I log on now, it only tells me if I've posted a blog or added a plant or any photos - it doesn't say how many comments I made any longer - is that new, or is something wrong, please?

Hi Spritz,
Are you looking at your news page? I think we made a few changes - to try and tell you about other members rather than yourself.
