Hi David

Hmmm well since some of here are begginers are growing nepenthes or any other CPs maybe troubleshooting for begginers which can be change to another name.And also maybe just maybe somthing like.....

Nepenthes species (after you click it)

Well just an example after you clikc it which will lead to more links.And after you click any of these species you will be move to threads of whichever species you choose.Not nessecerily just nepenthes.

Nepenthes sumtrana
Nepenthes truncata
Nepenthes ampullaria
Nepenthes mirabilis.

And maybe even to common hybrids like

Nepenthes ventrata
Nepenthes miranda

Or another way is hybrids that has traits of all these species so when you clik either of the species you will se threads of hybrids which has that species in it and info about those hybrids which are threads from members.

Maxima
Veitchii
Fusca
Mirabilis
Gracilis
Villosa

And so on hehehe.

Are you talking about a whole section for beginners? Boards for every species as a info or resource archive? I am already working on a survey for this purpose. IT will be a Q & A sort of thing. Members can contribute to the survey and etc. There was a thread in the Nepenthes board on this. Here

Hi David,

Though not an important part of the forum, I noticed that non carnivorous plant topic has been relocated at the bottom, this is fine, but is it possible to rename the "enter" link to "Non carnivorous plants" and if possible colored the same colored font as the rest? I sort of got lost when I was looking for the topic because the "enter" link was colored Grey. Unless this was done to lower the number of non CP posts?

Hi Eric. the "fertiliser" for the Tills section needs to come from members. I can only do so much and there are members out there who are more experienced than me or has more knowledge. If members do not contribute, the forum would be dead.

Hi Arvin! Thanks for the feedback. The changes has been done!

The reason why I place the boards hidden because I have increased the number of boards in the non-cp section and I intend to expand the non-cp boards further in the hope that members would have more non-cp posts there. If I make it appear infront together with the rest of the CP boards it might slow download time (for members with dial-ups or bad internet line) as the forum front page would be very long and heavy. This would also stress the server that PetPitcher is on if alot of members login at a time.

Eventhough I intend to have more non-cp boards and posts, this is still a CP forum. As such the front page must show that or our forum would end up having no theme or subject matter.

Hi Ken. Thanks for your feedback. I'll think about it.

David, Thanks I noticed the change already.

One other thing, I wonder if the Non CP section is included when one clicks on the "new posts" link. I now make it a habit to click on that, but for some reason I think that Non CP section is not included in the search for "new posts". Wonder if it is okay to include them or not? I think the new post feature is really nice and convinient by the way.
