    Hi @LunarSea, does the ability to post photos on your profile and add more information to your profile become available then too? I’m pleased to see your excellent photos continuing there!

    To be honest @Plantminded I didn't try to do any of that stuff when I first joined so I'm afraid I can't say. But I did get frustrated when I couldn't add a signature so I asked that question.

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    Thank you @LunarSea, I’ll wait and see!

    @Eustace has done an amazing job on the rose thread @Pink678

    No @Busy-Lizzie. The archive needs to be made page by page with readily available archives/open source software and it takes too much time - I cannot spend that much time; so given up. If all the posts in a thread could be put in a single page (like houzz), it would've been possible to archive.

    Not quite. I used the archiving site mentioned elsewhere to copy the whole of the 'make your own compost' thread and could move from page to page (although it opened a new window each time so you have to clear up behind yourself!).

    So long, farewell, auf weidersehen, goodnight. I hate to go and leave this pretty site.

    @LunarSea at the outset, thanks for your comment. I'm not very well versed with archiving threads. Did you manage to create an archive of all 58+ pages of the 'make your own compost ' thread one shot? I tried using this site, https://archive.vn/. If you can give me more hints, probably I can work it out. Please can you explain what you mean by 'clearing up behind yourself'. In the archive, when I open the 2nd page, it reverts back to GW. Doesn't that mean that I have to archive P2, then P3 and so on. Each of the rose threads are 200+ pages. Thanks for your help 🙂

    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    Sadly I will not be moving to GC. Tried but found it too complicated and not user friendly. Thank you all for your help over the years especially Fairygirl who gave advice to everyone that solved a lot of gardening problems for me.

    @Waterbut Fairygirl is already over there.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I know what you mean @Waterbut I need new glasses before I even try! But I also know I'll be lost without this community... Wherever it's located...I hope we all keep in contact.
