Can i upload pictures to this group.
I've recently bought a lovely new home where the previous owners were keen
gardners and i'm not able to tell anyone what i have, so i can ask advice about the various plants and shrubs. What i would like to do is take some pictues and upload them to first find out what plants and shurbs are in the garden. Then clearly would be looking for advice on how best to look after them. I just don't want to break any taboos by just uploading photos. Is it ok? Rob |

There are some sites where you can do this for free, but someone else will need to tell you where those are!

Pictures take up much more room than text, and will cause premature expiry of discussion messages, among other matters. Also, some news servers will simply drop binaries on the floor when found in discussion groups. Important general point: the strictures of so-called "netiquette" all have very good reasons behind them; they are never arbitrary rules dreamt up by boffins, even if those reasons are not necessarily obvious. Follow netiquette to improve your communication via email and newsgroups; disregard netiquette, and diminish your ability to communicate on-line. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada change "invalid" to "net" to respond |

The message
from "K" contains these words: I haven't seen it for quite a while. Well, ye hv noo! ---------------- QUOTE ---------------- For detailed information on this newsgroup you are recommended to read the charter for uk.rec.gardening at: http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.rec.gardening.html There are a number of FAQ files (answers to Frequently Asked Questions) which have been put together by the contributors to this group and are available at: http://www.nugget.demon.co.uk/MetaFAQ/index.html If you are new to this group and have a particular question you want to ask, do take a look at the FAQs first to see if your question has been covered. The FAQs will usually give a more comprehensive answer than is possible in a newsgroup article. Now a little more information about the aims of uk.rec.gardening, which we would ask you to read whether you are new to newsgroups or an old hand. Note particularly the request not to post photographs. Uk.rec.gardening is based in the British Isles for the discussion of gardening within those islands. Some here are quite experienced gardeners, others are (or were when they first joined urg) complete beginners. It is an unmoderated self-help group and is not owned or dominated by anyone. If you are a newcomer (newbie) or a "lurker" (someone who reads but has so far not posted anything), you are invited to introduce yourself (though don't make it a reply to this thread - start a new thread). Please do not feel any obligation to do this, but telling us a little about yourself and, roughly, where you live, will help those trying to answer your questions to give the best advice. Don't be afraid of asking a question that you may fear is naive - remember, we were all beginners once! Sometimes people feel a little disappointed when they don't get an answer to a question. There may be several reasons for this, the most common ones being (1) no-one has the answer, (2) you didn't give a clue in the subject header what your question was about, and (3) for some reason the message did not get through. The best thing in the last situation is to post the message once more. Urglers do try to respond to new posters and no-one is deliberately ignored. You may be puzzled by references to "urg" and "urglers". It's simply an acronym and means this newsgroup and contributors to it! Contributors from outside the British Isles are not discouraged but, because this newsgroup is intended to help gardeners in the British Isles, it should be remembered that all questions and answers should relate to a climate similar to that found in the British Isles. We thank you for your cooperation in this. Here are one or two pointers to help you if you are not familiar with newsgroups: (1) NEVER post binaries (photographs or illustrations) in urg. They will be cancelled automatically by the Usenet watchdogs! The reason is that many will complain about the length of time taken to download such files. If you want people to see your photograph then post it on your own web page and put a message in urg telling people where to find it. (2) When you are replying to a message, it's a good idea to edit down your quotes (snipping) to the point(s) that you are actually addressing, but be sure that you have kept enough in to make it intelligible! (3) Think out what you want to say and try to make it as concise as possible. A long message in a busy newsgroup runs the risk of losing the attention of readers. Thank you for reading this and we hope that you will find uk.rec.gardening a very helpful forum. |
