I am a Lurker due to various medical reasons I have memory problems and also sight is diminishing but I do enjoy the information that I can get from reading the latest posts and am thankful for the knowledge of people giving the advice. Thanks everyone!
I haven't read all of the posts in this thread as I'm trying to catch up with the happenings on here over the last few days but I'd like to say that it's good to see lots of 'new' posters and to remind forum viewers that if everyone viewed there would be nothing to read so it would be good if you jumped in and said hello sometimes. I know it can be difficult to do that but once the toe has been dangled in you'll be fine.
Agreed, @Uff - diversity of experience, questions, perspectives are great too.
It's fascinating to hear from regular readers we know nothing of. Thanks for delurking to comment, especially if you are not very socially inclined.
If you have any questions about the nuts and bolts of how the forum works (how to post, quote, put up images, search) this is a good place to ask. As @punkdoc says there are no daft questions.
But daft answers can be fun too! Seriously an answer from someone in a similar situation to something you've experienced can be of more help than from an experienced gardener who has never come across the problem in reality.
Completely agree with posters who've said this is a friendly forum. I've certainly asked some daft questions, and the nice people on here have just 'rolled' with my ignorance and offered sensible solutions.
I'm slightly dyslexic and terrified of using the wrong word and upsetting someone. I notice when someone uses the wrong word/spelling, and it's delightful that not one person has elevated themselves to be the grammar police.
It would be nice though to have feedback about poster's problems, eg: Did a suggested remedy work? Did they find what they were looking for? Did the plant die?
