| Yesterday I moved several hundred stray ID threads from around the DG world to this forum.
Currently, this forum holds over 19,300 threads - wow!
If you click on the "see open/unsolved" threads, you'll see we have about 9,000 8,200 open/unsolved IDs, some of them dating back to 2001: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/plantid/unsolved/8...
A lot of those have probably been solved but forgotten.
Let's all do our part to get our solved "rate" above 50/50 in a few easy steps.
1) Go to your Member page (click on "My Info")
2) In the 2nd green box, you'll see a link to all the threads you [your username] has started.
3) Click on it and then use the pulldown list at the top to narrow it down to just the Plant and Tree ID forum.
4) Scroll down through and check out your posts - if they don't say "CLOSED" in front of the title, they're still open. If any of them have been solved, mark them closed.
If you have an old thread that is still a mystery, feel free to do a one-time "bubble" (i.e., add a new post to raise it to the top), and maybe someone with fresh eyes will be able to help you!
It would be great to see the open IDs slimmed down to just a few pages of recent submissions and the true "stumpers"!
And now I'm off to do my part - I see I have a *few* of my own that can be marked solved ;o) |

| Thanks for the heads up on this. I just went to my member page and found two still open so I marked them closed. I figured I probably had quite a few that I had forgotten about. Glad it was only two but that still leaves us with 8,998 unsolved/open or solved and forgotten to close. Hope everyone takes a few minutes to check their member page and either close out or bump up any that are old.

| Since the Plant Identification Forum is open to the public I think a lot of folks who are not paid subscribers out there in cyber land have probably gotten an ID and never come back.
I must admit that I never notice the sticky's at the top of the threads. Maybe if there were a decent sized space between where the sticky's are and the beginning of the threads, they would be a bit more noticeable. Or if the word Sticky were in larger font and in a very bold color? Something to get our attention. I'm getting old and need all the help I can get, LOL.  |

| georgiavinescom, you would have better luck getting an ID if you start your own thread about this plant. This thread is trying to get members to close out their threads of plants that have already been identified. It's not watched by many people, so those that might be able to help identify your plant won't see it.
To start your own thread, go here and scroll down to the bottom where it says 'Start a New Topic' http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/plantid/all/ |

If you go to your member page, and go to the second green box of links, it shows you what others can see on your member page. It includes a link to the threads you started (but not all your posts.) |

This ones gives you everything you have posted. The second green box is simply named ACTIONS , among many others things it has a line "view the threads xxxxxx has started" . This gives you only the threads which you originated. The third box is XXXXX COntributions and the Fourth XXXXX WANTS YOU TO KNOW. |

Anybody out there who, like me , coundn't find it:
go to your "my info" page
then "threads you have started"
then look above the list. There is a window with an arrow on the right end, click the arrow and scroll to the plant & tree ID.
Any that you have started will each (once you go to each individual one) have a question in bllue letters next to the question it asking if it is solved...click appropriately and voila! We will all have helped Terry! ;-)

I looked at the list of ones you've started in this forum and all of them are already marked closed except for the one that you just started today, and as of the time you made this post, nobody had responded to that one yet so I'm assuming that the thread you're trying to close may be in another forum? There are only certain forums like this one where you can mark threads closed, most of them you can't. |

| Three thoughts : 1. What about a thumbnail format, 5 accross, 10 down clickable, with a bold rectangle around it if identified? 2. Seems like after 6 months, and no results, perhaps the i.d. request could return to sender with an request : a. New image, b. second try ? 3. Up front request that to better identify, include flower(s), leaves, fruit (if possible) at a minimum. This forum is a great feature of DG. |

| Oh help! We had some enthusiastic volunteers replant collards and broccoli and mix them in the flats. Today is market day and we need to know the difference. Anyone know how to separate them at 4-inch 4-true leave stage? The cotyledons were identical and all the true leaves are slightly scalloped, but perhaps there is a subtle difference I'm missing? Thanks a million! I could sell them cheap, declaring the approximate percentage of collards and broccoli, but unfortunately collards don't grow well here and it was just a small experimental batch that has now "contaminated" our much larger broccoli collection! |

| I'm a little confused. I just happened upon this site a few days ago through a Google search about elm, and found a recent ID question posted May 2, 2009. It's marked SOLVED, but it's not, really.
I joined so i could post some information to help the discussion along. So I'm wondering. . . . How do people reach a conclusion that an ID question is solved? Where do you keep the images and final identifications so people like me get to "positive ID" when searching Google, Ask Jeeves, etc?
Great site, though. I love the sharing. |

| Marking solved is up to the original poster...when they are satisfied that a plant has been ID'd, they close the thread. Sometimes they close things too quickly and someone comes along with a better answer later--just because something's marked solved doesn't mean people have to stop posting on that thread, many times the discussion will continue after it's been solved, or someone will come along later and correct and ID that was actually solved incorrectly. Solved threads stay right here in this forum, they don't go anywhere. Sometimes once people have an ID they will post their picture in Plant Files, but many times there are already tons of pics of the plant in Plant Files. Plant Files itself is a great place to look for pictures--if you know what plant you have (or think you know) you can look it up in there and often there'll be a number of pictures that you can look at for comparison. |

Some people may be able to guess what your plant is from your first not as good picture, and if they can't then they'll look at the new better one. It gets confusing when people start multiple threads about the same plant, so I would definitely recommend just adding the picture in a reply to your existing thread. |

| I hafta admit... I'm a "double poster". I'm sorry. I've posted ID questions in both the ID forum and the general "type" forums. I've been good about going back and marking the ones on the ID forum as "solved"... but there's nothing I can do about updating the titles of the posts in "regular" threads.

| Plants, you can add an edited line to your original post in the other forums saying it is solved and naming the plant. That way when folks read it, they get the answer in the first post and can then read on if interested. Just click on the word edit in the lower left corner under your name. |

| Only Admin can remove a post. All you can do is edit your own posts.
If you select the FAQ link from the header at the top of any page, it will give you a lot of answers. You'll get it Flowers, we all had lots to learn when we first logged on. Grin (you will notice that this is edited...look in the lower lefthand corner of any post you make...it will be there.)

| ok, found the plant and tree forum, even found the two green boxes. The only pull down changed the forums you want to view ( which I canged and may never get back to fav's). But never once did I see an option to close, notta, nowhere zilch. I'm am not a subscribing member so could that be the reason? I'll join up when I figure it all out. This must be one of those "Rocket Scientist Things" No wonder people are not closing, got to be an easier way. |

| I fixed several, but found a few in other forums. I'm assuming you'll have to move them. Do you want me to send you a list of these threads?

How do I add pic of my Varigated Solomon's
seal to the plant files, I saw no others? |

| ridesredmule, which Variegated Solomon's Seal do you have? Here's the PlantFile listings for them. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com...
To add your photos, scroll to the bottom of the PlantFile entry and you'll see a link that says 'Upload an image of this plant' in the actions box. |

| We must be thinking about the same thing! I just marked 'solved' on two of my posts for plant & tree ID earlier this morning. But they were only about a month old. Do you even know if the people that made posts in 2001 are still members? |

| We can tell if they are still subscribers (hover your mouse over someone's name in the left column.) But I think the only way we can tell if they are still active members (in other words, if they still pop in occasionally and poke around) is if they post somewhere or add some info to the PlantFiles. |

| I haven't been a member a year yet. I did add the
picture of the plant I thought it would go to my "Have" plant file but it didn't; I added
it this morning. I'm not as savy on computors as you all are. I have tried to remove some
of the things I asked about and it would not let me. I know how particular some of these
forums are, so I try to do what's right, so I won't get fussed at.

| I see them! The photos are in the pending queue. I removed the duplicate and the other will be released to the PlantFile entry once it makes it through the verification process. Usually in a day or two.
I think the reason you submitted two is that you didn't think the first one worked, as it didn't appear on the PlantFile entry immediately. They don't go directly to the entry. They go into a pending queue where they are reviewed for clarity, accuracy, that they aren't 'borrowed' from another site without permission etc.
Thanks for helping PlantFiles grow and sharing your photos. |

| Oh, Thank you. Sometimes my finger slips. But I hadn't
seen a picture when I filed, so I didn't think it took. It is a
pretty plant. Sits back there and doesn't do any harm except -looking good. :-)
Thanks again. |
