If there's a need to change the icon, maybe an "i" for info?


Yes, I like that even better!

Keep in mind, that it groups by them availability. So it'll have all the "available" ones together (alphabetized) and then it'll show the private ones next (also alphabetized.)

I like that it works that way, makes it easier to find the ones that I've marked private or not ready for trade and do whatever needs to be done to them. Thumbs up

The question mark icon works great! I just hovered over it and up popped the words. So easy. Thanks.
This will be the best virtual swap I have never participated in. Thumbs up

I just added a photo to the daylily cross in my list. I used Pisca to create a collage of the two daylilies (placing the pod parent first and pollen parent second). Would that be an acceptable practice?

@Dave, I have all my seeds listed as available so nothing is separated alphabetically. Can you look at my list to see if I'm doing something wrong?

Ok, I am pleased to say that I finally fixed the ordering issue. All your entries should now be ordered the way you expect them to.

Edited to add:
I went back through the threads to find the original link to find my seed list and see that the "address" now has the word "view" added; I updated the custom menu bar with the new address and it works just fine.

I changed the URL yesterday so the old link doesn't work. That kind of change is common in a rapidly developed system that's in beta.

I see you have a list but have not signed up for the swap Shrug!
Just playing around?
seems a bit confusing to those who may not have been following along with all the threads
and a bit of a tease to those of us who are participating Smiling

I was going to say that Dave must have added Greene to the swapper list by mistake, but... I suppose anyone that has made a list, even just to try it out and see how it works, will be showing up on the swap lists that we can view. (if that's the case, I would think anyone not actively participating should use the option that makes the entries private ?) And if that's the case, it seems like it could get quite confusing in the future when there may be several different swaps going on at one time.

It's true, I didn't lock it down. Anybody can read these threads and anyone can setup a list. But only the ones in the official list above are actually going to be participating.

Early this coming week I'll program it to only show us the ones who are actually in the swap. That way, you won't get mixed up wondering if a list is actually available to you or not.

You must first create a username and login before you can reply to this thread.
