I think the dreaded facebook has taken a number of people away from forums in general. But when you want specific information from specifically experienced people, this is the place to come.

Hi Geoff, the new look is “interesting”. Not real keen on it. I don’t like the red colour, it clashes with the red fruit in the ALS logo. On the small screen I find it too “in your face”.Preferred the previous one visually uncluttered, BUT this latest version seems to be a lot more practical.I find the left column a bit too wide, pushing the…[Read more]

I guess it could have, but FB is still mainly social as opposed to technical and practical. Although I’ve heard you can get results from Telstra and various vehicle manufacturers.But I don’t think FB can help me learn to bottle preserves/jams, or how to manage intruding wallabies, or how to isolate a problem in the blower fan of my car’s aircon,…[Read more]

Just a note to let you know the site is looking way better, and drawing me back to it again. I usually pop in once a day, sometimes twice. 🙂

Regarding the white space, I think part of the problem is the big paragraph gaps. The paras could be a bit closer together.I am finding the very fine text quite hard to read, it’s an effort when it should be easy. I don’t know what the text looks like at your end, but when I type into the Post Comment field, the text is nice and black. It’s a…[Read more]

I actually like the whitespace, but like trandto I find the text is also a bit too fine for me also. A bit pale, and a bit small.Using Firefox Win8.1 PC

After spending 5 or 6 years in Darwin years ago, I get cold at 28 degrees. So I can relate. Yes the Tablelands are cold, especially the rainforested end.

Hi Mukluk, I’ve learned that you have to live “as if” you are going to be where you are for a while to come, just in case that’s what happens. No good to lose a year of planting. I’ve just lost two, because all I wanted to do was get this place sold and it hasn’t happened yet. If I’d started immediaately I would have been eating a lot of my own…[Read more]

Is there a “Quote” button. I can’t find one, and often prefer to use one especially if I’m responding to a post quite a number back.
