    This Forum has a couple of variations the desktop site and the mobile site. The mobile site has a text box and thats it. Your webbrowser on your mobile device should have an option to "request desktop site" However not everything works

    Picture uploading is a particular problem. It's done for security i believe (by Google, Apple and Microsoft), probably mostly for content providers so you can't randomly upload copyrighted content, the fact that it makes it difficult to upload our own content is ... annoying. However you can upload to a social site and post a link back here.

    Hey! I'm a newby. This was really helpful. You guys are great! I never knew improving my gardening knowledge could be such fun? Did someone mention cake?!! image

    ...  where's the cake? I did think of making some, but if someone else is doing it I'll join in - made bread yesterday too - nearly time to eat radishes with fresh bread - oh yummy!!

    It's all about helping people and offering them advice, and we can't do that unless they know how to post their queries.

     If you just 'let a message sit' then it quickly moves down the page and onto the next one and any newcomers to the site won't see it.  Posting 'silly comments' is just a cheerful way of bumping the message up so newcomers see it when they first arrive at this page.

    Is that so very  wrong? image

    As for cake - the sun's still shining here so I'll be back in the garden in a minute - but I just might make a Victoria Sandwich with a blackcurrant jam and creme fraiche filling a bit later if anyone's interested?

    If you put the kettle on about 4ish, mines a Darjeeling wth a slice of lemon please (no milk or sug)image

    Did anyone put the kettle on?  The Victoria sandwich is ready, and there are some scones, still warm from the oven image
