General Forum / Re: Apple iPad, Mac, IPhone Photo resizing.

« Last post by Maggi Young on Today at 06:12:51 PM »

That's a shame the module of resizing isn't enabled in the forum. That's one of the reason i don't upload photo anymore, resizing photos before showing them is time consuming.

Problem is that photo are hosted on fasthosts servers and usually this kind of companies are expensive. Nowdays we can store millions of photos full sized on storage such as google drive, amazon s3 for a reasonable cost and link photo to the forum.

SMF forum has a module that allow to use a a private S3 account with a public bucket and let people upload photos through the forum.

If an admin is interested i can help with this module, i implemented it on a private french board hosting 1.2 millions photos of insects and it works for 6 years without any problem.

Kind of you to offer help, Yann, but there is no one offering to get involved from here.

Cultivation Problems / Re: Androsace x marpensis

I believe Mike Ireland, who is on this forum,  grows or grew this plant and judging by the photo of it on his website, it flowered well, so perhaps he's the one to ask!

Plant Identification Questions and Answers / Re: Athelas. AKA probably the strangest identification ever asked.

« Last post by Cris_87 on Today at 09:16:21 AM »

Thanks arisaema and Maggi.

Yes @Maggi, we all agree with you on that.
That's why I opened my previous message addressing precisely that issue.
If you read carefully, you'll find cited an entire stackexchange thread dedicated to that.

Spolier alert:
among the commentors, one claims to have been corresponding personally with the Professor, stating clearly that Athelas "has no IRL counterpart."
here the link to the comment. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/273917/174590
There's no easy way to verify the source, but that seems quite reasonable actually, qualyfing the described plant more as a mix of positive features from different species.

That's why we are focusing on the real one, the one used in the movies.
Thanks
