Daleys Fruit Tree Forum

Purpose

This forum is a Question and Answer forum to find answers to as many questions as possible. Questions you can't find the answer to please ask. It is not a plant swap forum but yes it's fine to discuss where you found rare and collectable fruit trees.

How it works

  • When you make a post it will only be visible to you until it is checked then it will be visible to everyone.
  • The decision on posts being accepted in the forum is final and can not be contested or reinstated. Please re-word your post paying particular attention to "What to write" and "What will not be included" below.

What to write:

  • Questions and Answers about growing plants in your backyard.
  • Family friendly content rated (G)

  • A link to an answer elsewhere rather than answering the question within the forum thread.

How to Follow People on the Forum

**** These new features may have some "bugs" in them as they have not been fully tested. Please report any problems below so we can pass them onto our developer.****

Some of the posts on the forum are over 500 responses. Sorting through so many people can be hard. So now you can follow the people you choose and then easily filter those responses to include only the people that you are following.

How to Follow Someone on the Forum

Step 1: You must be logged in. 
Fig 1: Click the button "Existing User" then enter your email and password.
If you are not logged in you can create an account here

When reading a post from a user under the section "About the Author" there is now the option to click "Follow"
Fig 2: Very bottom Right.
Once you have done this the forum user will have a follow sign above their name like this:
Fig 3: Very top of image notes a user that you are following
You can of course unfollow this user at any time. (Bottom of Fig: 3)

View Only the People you are Following

Only after you have followed people will the option at the top of any forum page appear giving you the option to view "All Posts or People I Follow"
Fig 4: The Menu at the top of every forum page
If it is set to All Posts you will see every single post. But if you click to change it to "People I Follow" you can then see only the people on the forum that you are following.

Making a Post to Only the people you Follow

The default and recommended way to create a post is to post it to everyone. The more fruit loving people that read your post the more chance one of them will have an answer for you. However if you want to only post to the people you are following you can do this by using the drop down menu to "Only People I follow can see this post"
Fig 5: Using the dropdown box to post to only the people you follow.
Additional Notes:
^ People you are following need to be logged in to see this post.
^ You must be following people first before you have this option.

See A List of People I am Following

To see a list of everyone that you are following simply click on My Posts (Fig 6) which will take you to the secure my account page. The people you are following can be seen under the forum section.
Fig 6: At the top of this image is the option to click on My Posts

Hide People

Use the Hide option to stop seeing posts from a person. You will not be able to see or report/delete their posts and likewise they can't report/delete or see your posts.
Fig 8: Click on Hide to not see any posts from this user




Bug Fix: People not being able to Create a New Displayame

There was a bug that when you replied or created a forum it was saying that the username had already been taken even though it wasn't.

This has been fixed.

If anyone finds that they do not get the username that they like. Please Contact Me and I will help you out.

Sometimes people have multiple email addresses that they use and this is the cause.

Unique Display Names

When posting on Daleys Fruit Tree Forum you will need to use a unique display Name.

Just a clarification on Daleys Forum Rules topics do not need to be on fruit trees they can be on any plants.

If you find that one of your posts gets deleted and you think that it shouldn't have please contact us and we will happily add it back.

A big thanks to everybody who contributes. So much fantastic information that helps us all get the most out of our edible backyards.
