I'm happy to say that I've just put the finishing touches on the Gallery system; it'll now properly list items by their pages, and the newer design makes it a lot easier to navigate.

Due to some Facebook updates over the last couple of months, several portions of the original layout just didn't work anymore (such as only being able to view page 1 of each album).

This week we have overhauled the Hardiness Zones feature of our site to support International Zones, we also have a cleaner display for the various North American zones that we've listed in the past.

We have also added some data for Baltic States, Scandinavia, and some parts of Europe (more to come). As you'll note, each map covers several countries, so we provided information for those maps much like we've presented information for North America such as dialing codes, basic information abou…

In the coming weeks we'll be applying updates to the main site (not the forum) which can break several sections; we're aware that certain areas may not even work until the update has been completed.

We will keep you informed as the near completion of these updates; for up to date changes please see the Facebook Notification of this update.

Updates:
8/27 @ 10 PM: I have got most of the "Front End" (what you, the user sees) done, the only lingering portions are sections that we do…

Today we've spent a lot of time on the content submission pages; making them a little cleaner by adjusting how the category (parent/child) hirearchy works and displays.

Before we just threw a list of categories at you and you couldn't see where each category belongs as far as the public display system is concerned, and it was pretty kludgy. Plus at times we have similar/same names for some sub-categories which could just lead to more confusion with how it all displayed.

With today's updat…

Today I've put the finishing touches on the "Reviews" section of the site; users can now submit reviews on various products that they've had experience working with.

Feel free to post what you can, I'll try my best to fill in the other fields that couldn't otherwise be filled.

We made several updates this morning to the underlying systems; "Post" and "Update" dates now display with content; the issue after this update was that not all of the systems had either column, so I had to do another so that if the updated column had an older date than the "posted" date it looked weird, so another small update to take that into account.

We've also taken and did some slight modifications to how things display (such as all JavaScript is loaded aft…

Initially I had wanted to get this ready and released before Spring, but I've been nit picking here and there for some time, trying to piece everything together as perfectly as possible; and I'm now fairly satisfied with how the back end coding looks and with how the site is presented to you, the user.

We'll be lacking content for a while until I can get more added into the database, but there are a bunch of systems available for you all to test drive until more articles and recipe's get adde…

Welcome to the new site for A Gardeners Forum! I've been working long and hard to get this system pieced together.

There isn't very much content right now, but I hope in the coming future that myself, our staff, and ordinary users like you can remedy that.

Most of the systems allow users to submit content; all content must be approved by our staff before it displays online. All content will contain attributions to their original authors.
