Advice for "newbies" Any suggestions?

Hello Interested Permaculture Person

Welcome to the PRI Forum!

Some points to note:

* The 'search' facility (top right hand corner) is a good place to start.

* Introduce yourself. Keep it as simple, or make it as elaborate as you wish.

* Put your location (bio-region) in your 'bio', especially if you are going to ask site-specific questions.

* Understand that there is never a 'stupid' question - very rarely is there among we humans 'an original thought'. However, and again, do try to use the 'search' facility first.

* Enjoy your stay!

Just wondering and just in case I missed it, is there an Edit option on your own posts. I noticed a spelling error in one of mine and want to fix it. Australian Freshwater Turtles runs on V Bulletin also and has the edit option. Thanks for any help.

Hmmm I can see it on this post but not on my Composting Worms for Sale

 

There's a time limit. You can edit within that, but not afterwards.

 

Thanks. On AFT I can edit anytime. Not sure if it is because I am a Moderator or not. Thanks again

 

Good onya, Brian

Wish I could edit out some of the unintentional crap I've posted. Problem is, sometimes y'dont realize the full impact of what y'said til y've left the site. y'come back and it's too late. I'll quit while I'm .........?

I know it is possible to Edit your own post with V Bulletin so maybe the Powers Above us poor mortals maybe able to look at it.

 

You can always ask a Mod and we'll do it for you if it is really important.
I guess it is like real life - don't always get to take back what you say or do....

 

I always try to read everything back to myself to see if I spelt it correctly ( well as good as I can lol) and if it sort of makes sense ( to me anyway). I only ever try to tell the truth and noyt write rubbish that I need to remove.

The Turtle Forum has just moved to a new server and we now have spell check. Something I have asked for now for a long time.

 

I am new to this site but experienced in permaculture. I was looking for another permaculture forum and this was near the top of the search.
I am a bit disappointed, though, in the structure on this forum.
The Valley Permaculture Alliance (Phoenix AZ) had a great site with 10 to 15 topics with each sending "new post" notifications to a registered audience. VPA disolved recently and the site is gone but from my memory some of the individual topics were:
- water
- soils
- trees
- forum issues
- livestock
- pests
- building
- equipment
- businesses
- humor
- general
It was very easy to stay on top of the particular issues I was interested in. Posts could be cross referenced in a couple of topics. I realize that the search function will pull up related posts but an overall structure of topics can be very helpful.

 

unfortunately, there is a lot of dated content now, but i don't think anyone really wants to go back and work on that.

at least with my current fiddling i've found out that i can go back and edit old posts to correct things (links that were out of date).

to me that is a nice improvement!
