Crocus in both hemispheres August 2008

[Paul T]

Glad to help, Lesley. 

[Lesley Cox]

So I'll try posting the crocus pics I couldn't find before.

No, they're still not there when I browse to attach. They're there when I just open My Pictures for a look to see if they're there. But at least they're all alphabetical now. Something really weird's going on.

[Paul T]

Hmmm.. Lesley, I am not sure I can help with that one.  Not without being at your computer.  Sorry.

It also confirms that the search feature really isn't working properly, as we referred to 'Skyline' there a few times yet those never came up in the search I did.

Hmm? Wondering about this, I know that it sometimes seems that the search facility is not cathching everything, but when I tried a "skyline" search just now,and among othersthreads, it also  brought up one reference to the Southern hemisphere thread that Paul cites above... perhaps ony one ref. per thread is cited? Will try to delve further into this matter... it is puzzling.

Maggi,

I find the search facility is unpredictable to say the least.  I have had some searches bring up numerous different results in the one topic, while others only one from a topic, and others missing a topic completely.  it is a real shame, as it means that the wonderful information we're amassing here isn't as available as it could be.  I can guarantee that for me when I did that search it did not bring up that topic at all for 'Skyline'.  I found it by going and checking my own photos, from that working out which "flowering now" thread it would have been in, then trolling through it page by page until I found it.  The 'Skyline' name was mentioned at least a couple of times in the thread, yet none of them came up in the search.  I am wondering who many other people use the search function, never realising that they're only getting part of the results they should be.  There was a bit of a discussion of this up in the member area as well, and others had the same problem with the search function as I did, so it isn't just my computer.  It is apparently a tad erratic, but that just leaves it in good company here on these forums!!! 

[Maggi Young]

Yes, Paul it is too erratic  and we will have to see if anything can be done to improve the search facility.

Crocus banaticus is on the way. Had today my first flower!

[David Nicholson]

Arthur, as this is an SH thread, just to keep the record straight, and for the sake of continuity, would you please also post your beautiful Crocus speciosus in the Crocus August 2008 thread.


edit by Maggi: Arthur's photo moved to Crocus August page

I only pack them, David is responsible for the posting.  But at least you know they will not be long in coming.
