Wondering what the organization or hierarchy of threads and discussions will be? Will we have a main section with threads that pertain under it?
I was going to start a 'Macro & Artsy images of Dahlias' like we had here, but am not sure if I just start a 'discussion'.
OK, I think I am in now...No longer Islander , but now "calico20hill" because that is when
I started this new garden after moving form Vashon Island, WA to Warren, Oregon. My old Business was "CALICO GARDENS CUT FLOWERS" but I retired from that when I moved. Now I grow things for my own pleasure and to share with others who like them, as well as continuing to breed and grow new dahlias under the name of "Salish". I no longer live on the Salish Sea, but it is such a part of who I am....and NW Oregon is not that different in many ways. MY property here is less then half the size, and it is on heavy clay soil that is very hard to work with, I now grow only in raised beds because of that . The past 3 years have been difficult getting to know a new community with all the social isolation of protecting a medically vulnerable son from Covid. (Born with a rare muscle mutation that causes loss of energy from the muscles) My son is a great companion and cooks for us while I garden...could be worse, LOL. He is 39 now and one of my best friends. Husband is a retired Boeing Engineer who is generally up to building any garden bed or other interesting structure I need. (Right now it is a catio for our 2 new rescue kitties). My youngest daughter lives about a half hour down the road which is why we chose this location...We moved here just after our one and only grandbaby was born.
Welcome, Noni. 
If you are using a big screen, you can pin the discussions open as a sidebar. I think the option disappears below a certain screen/window size.
calico20hill So that's where Calico Pie in the Sky got its prefix! I'd noticed it when I was searching around the Internet for pictures of collarettes. Read what you wrote on Cubits about how you lost it. Do you remember its parents?
You can reply to specific posts or you can still quote people. If you highlight the text you want to quote, a 'quote' button will appear.
Amanda, thanks for a job well done!
Probably most of us have some varieties and topics in which we have no interest at all, ever. You can select Ignoring, and it will be as if the discussion never existed. At this time, I don't know the way to reverse it, or if there is one, so use with caution.
To see ignored discussions: go to the discussion 'tag' like Photos or Chat and you will see ignored discussions in the list. To see all ignored discussions, type "is:ignored" into the search bar.
You would click on one of the tags like 'Bouquets' or 'Chat' and IF you had ignored any of those discussions they would be be indicated and you could change the setting to see them again.
Ignored discussions won't show on the 'All Discussions' view.
Krista I could post the details of the 20 minute site outage yesterday. Tell everyone all about the deprecation of the swiftmailer package in composer, caching, and the /tmp directory's permissions & its umask. Might inspire you to ignore something.
mr_blown_dry seems like you have given a perfect concise description to the issue. 20 minutes to find that problem sounds spectacular! Thank you very much.
Bessie Yes, but not a detailed description.
Fortunately, I'm obsessing over how it's running and watching for impacts on DA and I noticed pretty quickly. (DA was fine, the outage only effected the forum.)
mr_blown_dry Touché, sir! I stand corrected. And now will be forever grateful for your willingness to be the bulwark that protects us from the intrigue that is the underbelly of this system.
Suggestion...not sure if you can do it, but when you follow a link it would be great if a new tab opened in your browser so you don't lose your place on the forum. Pretty sure that's done on this end if it's possible.
DarcyD Great idea! I prefer that, too. Done!
