A way close a thread

14 years ago

I often wondered if there could be a way to close a thread, especially in the trading areas. I know you can post that the seeds/plants are gone but a lot of people don't bother to read all the post. It can become a nuisance answering everyone that the items in question are gone. I feel ignorant if I don't let them know though.

Hoping others feel the same and we get enough feed back to get an edit or closed button!!

This offer is now closed

It's hard to miss that.

Many people see a seed offer and don't bother reading any requirements you may have. Many scroll to the bottom and ask for seed after the offer has been closed. I tell people up front that if they don't follow my instructions I will not respond to their post and ignore them. You should do the same and not feel guilty about it.

I just wanted to pop in and post a link to a page with instructions on how to use HTML code to enhance GW messages. For example, the page explains how to use larger text with different colors.

Here's the link.

(The page also shows how to embed links within a message)

For those of you who live in the lower portion of Michigan, a beautiful place to visit almost anytime of the year is Hidden Lake Gardens located in Tipton, Michigan. The first Monday of the month, unless a holiday, is free entry to the conservatory and grounds otherwise it's $3.00/person. The property is owned by Michigan State University. There are several well marked trails of various lengths as well as a driving tour and of course the mystical, Hidden Lake! There are Hosta Gardens, Picnic area, Dwarf and Rare Conifers (Amazing!), The Conservatory, Arboretum and much more.. You could easily spend several hours. Each season brings a different look to the grounds... Magnolia in spring with beautiful Rhododendron... then spring flowers.... just a beautiful restful place to hand out!

I'd like to at least see something under the "my profile" section that lists all threads you've posted in. I've found that even after checking the little box to get email updates when people comment after me in a thread, I don't get the emails. And searching for my user name doesn't return all the threads I've commented in.

The great obvious color changes we were all used to has been eliminated for absolutely no reason. This is not one of the "improvements" to me. Those with vision problems are experiencing negative effects. Same thing happened when the original houzz take over happened.

Some years back, i posted a tale of having plans for a camp kitchen, and i got inundated with pleas for the plans! With no way to remove an ad, after i got tired of it, I finally had to post another message, saying i was no longer sending out free plans! Even with that, i still got letters about free plans. And, it is about time to post another ad, saying no more plans! And, i still get questions, and even some nasty letters, asking how i could be so nasty about not sending plans!
