    I presume it's because you started this thread ... so whether or not it's bookmarked, if you've not changed your notification settings so that you don't get emails for your own threads, they'll still send them.

    Just tweak your notification settings.

    I think this is a pretty good forum, except for the photos. I have slow Internet and I can't see any photos over 2mb, even the smaller ones sometimes take time. My favourite threads on the old forum were the Garden Gallery, the Gardens we have Visited and the plant identification threads, but I hardly bother with them now as I just can't see the photos. It has really spoilt this forum for me. I never had any problem with the old forum and I don't have the problem with other forums.

    I also have problems with loading photos onto this forum. I have some photos of lovely gardens around Lake Maggiore in Italy but I can't show them on this forum. Sometimes a photo loads but often it doesn't.

    I use Picture Manager on my main desktop to edit photos and when I wanted to upload my recent rose photos, I clicked on the Resize option and selected Small Web picture rather than the actual size in required in pixels (wouldn't have a clue) and then uploaded to the forum  - I think it worked ok - did anybody have trouble viewing this?

    I don't get a lot of emails either, only notifications when posters have mentioned me by name. I simply log on to the forum, scroll down, ignore the posts I'm not interested in and read the threads I want to - I thought everybody did it like that?

    @Lizzie27. Did you post a photo there, I can’t see it.  Thank you for trying the resize, it’s not too difficult, let’s hope other will follow suit.

    I think Lizzie's photos are on this thread and I can see them https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/comment/1983795#Comment_1983795
