Here is the pic I posted this morning in TG's February flowers discussion.

How can we be so sure?

Ha weird.... This 'change' is to confusing and I hate the format.... Have no clue on how to navigate around here.

Hopefully it gets figured out... How annoying

A CLONE?

Seen it done in chatrooms,but here? Hope this gets resolved soon,Purp...Good luck! :)

IMPOSTER! lol...

My GardenWeb ID [ToMMyBoY69] was "already taken" over here, so I had to improvise. Tho, truthfully, I kinda wanted to change it up anyways, and this gave me the opportunity to do so. This new format may take some getting used to, but so far I like the *like* & *bookmark* features. I'm still testing the waters, so I don't really know much else just yet.

You can change your public name anytime. MrBlubs was already taken too but I got to change my public name back to Just MrBlubs in the settings...

Only thing I like so far is multiple photos! Finally

Wait..... Did you transfer your account? Like did you activate it? Because your profile right now says that you've only posted 2 comments since you've joined while mine says 167 and asleep has over 3000. Also your old posts have not changed towards your profile that you Have now (the avatar photo and name) while mine has.

Confusing.

Hi guys, TY for the replies. I've fixed the profile I'm using and don't know if I'll be able to change the user name or not.

I'd gotten to "know" quite a few people by their moniker.

My account won't transfer for some reason, IDK if the person helping me in email is able to do anything more, I haven't looked @ email yet today.

There is also no more preview, so be sure before you click submit.

There are also no more zones next to peoples' names. Not as important in house plant chat as in other areas of gardening, but that's a huge loss. I couldn't be more disappointed in that.

Also gone is the ability to search just one forum.

Also gone is the ability to use HTML for italics, links, bold, whatever. It won't let me paste a link into this edit window. It will let me paste something else, but then jumps to the bottom of the box.

They could have warned people their exchange list info would be lost, and the potential for the user name discrepancy.

I don't understand why GW has been kicked around like this. iVillage never took it seriously, and now it's been usurped by interior decorators. Oh the humanity! Whatever. Maybe there's a section for 'early American garage sale style.' If anyone wants to use a real garden forum, now that this is no longer one, try allthingsplants.com &/or gardenstew.com. They are both mom'n'pop operations, for now anyway, and the entire sites are free, unlike that site-which-can-probably-now-be-named-but-why-break-more-traditions-today...

I can't see what this looks like as a whole, so I guess I'll just click submit & hope it's OK.

Hey, this can be edited. I wonder who can now edit previous posts I've made?

Notifications needed an adjustment for me. Previously I had email notifications off,and yesterday my inbox was loading up pretty quickly before I found what I was looking for in the advanced settings. Poke around in there and see what you can find. Again,good luck...obviously this will take some adjusting to.

Yes, TY, I turned most of that off. Wish one could turn off "likes" on FB!

Also gone is the changed color for visited links.

Now you got me wondering...I kinda got the impression that what I had turned off was not the "likes",so much as the email notices for them...please correct me if I am wrong in that assumption.

There are separate notices now for replies and if someone clicks like on something you posted (and other minutiae.) I've got it set to email me for replies, but not for likes. It's not saying you won't be liked, just that you won't get an email about it, I think.

What's weird is that GardenStew just changed its' look last week, and now looks similar, but much more sophisticated as far as a garden forum goes. Kudos to them!

There's also some lag in the time I submit something until it shows up on the forum page.

I'm lost & confused, it will take me awhile to find my way around here. I hate changes on forums...... Christine

^Amen

Hi everyone, this is me teengardener1888 my name as taken though

Wow, this sucks!

Why the change? Just why???

Is this the forum? If not, does anyone know how to get to one? Eg, House Plants..

By the way, I'm Toni/Hopefulauthor....

Yes - this is the House Plant Forum. If you scroll right to the top of the page you'll see this:

GardenWeb Topics/Garden Forums/House Plants

This the real purpleinopp

To go to other forums click on Garden Forums. Then you'll see all the Forums on the left hand side.

Hi everybody! This was definitely not like the other times GW has changed hands. Such a shock.
