I've put both violets in a little greenhouse. The browning is visible on almost all the leaves, not just the outer ones. From far away, the other violet actually looks healthy, not wilting or curling, just the brown discolorations. Both show browning on the leaves, and one violet has a couple leaves that are curling. Now it's been a couple days, and both violets show obvious signs of shock. I closed the window and didn't put them back until the following day so they could warm up a bit. When I saw them, I went AHH and moved them away from the window quickly. The violets were exposed for maybe 10-20 minutes. It was pretty cold outside, I think around 40 F. (Edit - oops, wrong link, among other things.So SOMEONE (sitting next to me who feels very bad).opened the window next to a ledge where two of my african violets were sitting. It's not the worst of what I regularly see, but it's the first example I came across. Linked is a thread with a few examples in it. And for that purpose, it's easy enough to copy/paste and put quotes around a sentence, like we tend to do here, no? Keeps the thread much cleaner to read. Worse yet, does one really need to quote the NEXT PRIOR post when responding to it? Especially when that next prior post was THE OPENING POST? Are people really that incapable of following a conversation? I mean, sometimes it's helpful, for clarifying which specific upthread comment you're replying to. So often I see someone quote several paragraphs of posts, only to themselves post a simple reply like "good idea." I'm only a member of GW but I do read a few other forums, and to me one of the most irritating things is what I'm assuming is a simple click of the mouse to incessantly quote prior posts unnecessarily. Like lpink I appreciate what I've seen some criticize as being a primitive forum. My big question is was GW spun off or was Houzz acquired by NBC? The good sized and scalable fonts make it easier to read GW as well. Jasdip is spot on about the avatars, animated signatures, etc., that choke most message boards nowadays.
It's also great that we're mostly self policing, and members feel free to throw in personal news, minor tangents, etc., without having the topic police editing them.Īnother great thing is all the white space. This past year there must have been half a dozen discussions of how to make spaghetti sauce! How great is that! Each discussion is a little different, and (nearly) each new person each thread attracts has something interesting to add. There's nothing duller than a forum where the members expect a newbie to wade through 3000 pages of past content to "get up to speed" on that which has been discussed before. I've said this before, but the format where most recent reply, rather than most recent thread start or most popular is on top, and old threads fall off the bottom, is most conducive to lively and always fresh daily discussions. They'd be best served by leaving clunky old Gardenweb alone. I'm sure the Harvest Forum will find traction with the backyard-to-table crowd. There's the whole urban foraging movement, and Williams-Sonoma selling Yuppie chicken coops. It's not whether they have cooking, it's whether bringing in the CF to talk about cooking is of complementary interest to the people who frequent Houzz. I'm only guessing, but I'd think Houzz would want the forums, and want to keep them intact for that reason. Additionally, social streams are proven ways of keeping people involved with a site after a particular interest has been filled. There's a lot of cross traffic among some GW members and Houzz. My first reaction is that it's a good fit. : 310 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 The GardenWeb and Houzz Teams Privacy Policy © 2015 Houzz Inc.
