| − | I know you spent a lot of time trying to figure out those main page edits, but I had to send it back to the future. Something I need to try and explain when we talk is that everybody's monitor is viewing these pages in different resolutions. And that plays chaos with how the text and pics are displayed. For example on my computer, the pics on the revised mainpage were in three lines. The first line had 13 pics in it, the second had one, and the third had eight. It would look different and not symetrical on most. The way I had it set up would display evenly on all resolutions, or so I hoped and planned. It took me forever to understand, but I think I got it now. I'll explain it to you more when we talk. Good luck with the escrow and move. | + | I know you spent a lot of time trying to figure out those main page edits, but I had to send it back to the future.

Gileno and Jack did you make it dudes? Click on the edit tab and you can add to this page which will notify me via email sort of like the IPS does PM's. MattyB 15:39, 4 May 2007 (PDT)
- Yeah, hope you guys found your way. Click around the site. Don't be afraid. Jack, we would love some of your Mad photos. Especially that one of you standing next to that giant D. decipiens that's on the PACSOA site. And Gileno, you could do a great article/pictorial of one of your excursions. And the pics could serve the dual purpose of being used in the "encyclopedia" as well. I hope you both notice, we are trying to use nice high quality pics, so larger file sizes are not only OK, they are encouraged. dypsisdean 15:32, 4 May 2007 (PDT)

Phoenix question
Matt, How come one of your Phoenix theophrasti pics says P.pusila on the pic page? Are they the same. Just checking? dypsisdean 14:17, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
Dean, I originally uploaded the pick as P. pusilla and when I was speaking w/ Ron McCullough (the sheriff dude) yesterday he said he thought the Phoenix at Bob's was P. theophrasti not pusilla. I checked some pictures and he's right so I just used the same link and moved it from the Pusilla page to the theophrasti page. Sorry for being so long winded. MattyB 14:35, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
You are now a Sysop
Congatulations, You have been bestowed the title of Sysop, or Administrator. It allows you to do a lot of other stuff, that you probably won't be doing anyway. However, you may find some of it useful. You can let me know if you notice much difference. Here is a link to what Wikipedia says about Sysops. It doesn't apply 100%, but you can get a good idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators dypsisdean 13:14, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
Wow, I feel like a Syborg...or is that Cyborg. Anyway, thanks. I'll use my title with unmerciful might, weilding my crushing oppressive hand upon the little people......or I'll just help out around here as needed.MattyB 13:20, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
- As you know you don't have to be a Sysop to mess with a User's page if left unprotected. I just pulled a "Matty" on Daryl. dypsisdean 13:49, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
Palmpedia SZS (Species Zone Scale)
Check it out. Real rough of course. It may be impossibe to ever get it "done." But it may create some interest with some of the California crew that seemed to have a lot of interest in the Freeze Damage Data thread. I think I'll let Steve in So Cal know about it. Maybe it could get some traffic here, and get people unafraid to do an edit or two. Feel free to improve on the layout if you can think of anything, Mr Sysop. Dypsisdean 15:27, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
Check my talk page
Matt, Check my talk page. I answered a question for Christian there that included you. Dypsisdean 23:00, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
Ho'omaluhia Thread
Matt, If you think it's a good idea, you could take all of those pics that I uploaded from Dave's trip and put them on the Ho'o thread as a 'gallery.' It would show you how to do that, and putting too many pics all spread out with just a short caption will make the thread really long with a lot of 'dead air.' (Just a thought) Check out the markup, and how it ends up looking on the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden I did. It's real easy to do that kind of gallery, and I think it's a good was to just display a bunch of pics. Dave's pics all start with Ho'o so would be easy to find them all. Plus I got IDs on all of them, as I think you saw. Pogobob responded to me that he thought that Syagrus looks identical to his Abreojos, and was asking for history. I told him to click on the discussion tab and get with it. No action yet though. Dypsisdean 11:59, 10 May 2007 (PDT)
Sorry, cranked back Main Page
I know you spent a lot of time trying to figure out those main page edits, but I had to send it back to the future. Something I need to try and explain when we talk is that everybody's monitor is viewing these pages in different resolutions. And that plays chaos with how the text and pics are displayed. For example on my computer, the pics on the revised mainpage were in three lines. The first line had 13 pics in it, the second had one, and the third had eight. It would look different and not symetrical on most. The way I had it set up would display evenly on all resolutions, or so I hoped and planned. It took me forever to understand, but I think I got it now. I'll explain it to you more when we talk. Good luck with the escrow and move. Dypsisdean 21:25, 10 May 2007 (PDT)
