re read it , still looks as though you are asking where to put that grow
id say one of the 2 spots i mentioned , or the sweet seeds sub forum
peace
p.s. i dont like this thread , i think the sections are already here and this thread is just someones way of stirring the pot
"Stirring"
or they just did not bother having a look around before coming up with some genius ideas
:dunno:
Is that indoor or outdoor? Are you a new grower or experienced. (wink)
To me the pivotal question is: Where would you put it today? The choice is just as imperfect as the suggested alternative. The difference is that the alternative keeps them all together. You have one place to look for grow journals.
If journals have a set of attributes they share (indoor/outdoor, hydro/soil/soilless, CFL/HID/induction/LED/T5, organic/synthetic, newbie/experienced, auto/photo) they can be expressed through multiple choice categories and/or tags.
How nice would it be to go to one area and filter grow journals by "indoor, soilless, HID" and then search the results for "Phillips Color Master" to see grow journals involving Ceramic Metal Halide? Woudln't that be nicer than visiting 6 forums, or searching the entire site and wading through conversations that mention CMH but aren't journals? Or, to find all the blueberry grow journals instead of every mention of "blueberry" on the site?
This topic may sound sound esoteric (or ungrateful). But, visitors have finite time and resources too. If they can locate (and contribute to) relevant information more efficiently, that's a valid topic.
I think that's also a valid point to Trapper. Those who develop the site do so for a reason. Feedback like this thread shouldn't be taken as ingratitude. People create a collaborative forum for those with a shared interest to help each other. Over time it leads to stickies (a sure indication that a wiki is needed), and experienced celebrity-types like Muddy who could communicate more effectively to his audience of followers through a blog. Or, consolidate knowledge into a wiki encyclopedia where newbies could be referred to instead of giving the same "Dolomite takes 10 days" a million times. Discussing these signs of "growth pains" shouldn't be taken as insulting or dismissive.
It's like we're all talking about the same thing from different perspectives. We all have finite time. Admins have to prioritize theirs. Visitors might see ways to improve their time spent here. It's kind of a vicious cycle because, as admins spend less time adding more tools (to solve different goals better than a conversational tool can), they don't utilize member time which could be spent consolidating useful into into an encyclopedia (or, tag/move grow journals into a more meaningful taxonomy.).
It's too bad there's not a way to create a sub-admin role where people like N00B could contribute to development of the site without viewing IP addresses in logs, or inserting privacy-violating code into vBulletin's modules. Seems like there would be a way to scrub all IPs from logs and database columns. And, prohibit update of code without a Super-Admin viewing changes and approving it. Wouldn't that ensure member safety from law enforcement -- while relieving the 1-2 people from being responsible for everything?
No man its asking noob where under there system would it go.
Its in the SweetSeeds forum mate....no offence but please read the posts. And i wouldnt put it in one of the ones you suggested as they are smoke reports (cant see any others you put, sorry if you have) and that grow of mine is a grow not yet chopped dried and cured
You think someones having a go, well i can asure you it isnt me.
Im asking the same as you, im even disscusing it with him further up the thread if you look.
It even says "i cant see the merits of it" New glasses for BOB please.....lol

:Ohmmm.......:
I'm here because of the good vibe, and the great people. Welcome to the place where good friends and a caring Family trump site architecture.
This is the place that cares about how my wife and kids are doing, not just about my dry yield.
This is where no matter what's going on in my life, someone is there to help and give me a leg up.
All this over journals? Come on, guys.
And stop picking on the OP, it was a legitimate question. Now beat to death.

A guy just walked into a bar and asked where can I post my grow journal and the bartender says no more drinks for you, you must be from AFN and those guys are totally fu--ed up.- - - Updated - - -

they arent just smoke reports , they are "strain reviews" to me that means you grow and show
even though you explained your post , it still to me looks as though you were asking what i said , with a short/limited post you should remember not everyone knows whats in your mind
but thanx for explaining
didnt think it was you stiring the pot , no worries lol
peace
p.s. i still do not like this thread
Wow I didn't expect this to stir up so much controversy lol. I definitely meant no disrespect to anyone by starting this thread. It's not that I couldn't find the logs, I just thought it was important to emphasize them since they are so pivotal to us all as growers. It would be interesting to analyze the traffic breakdown of the various topics, which would assist in optimizing the forum hierarchy. I would be happy to take a look at the code, there are ways to do so without providing server access. However, it would likely only be fixable if it is a standalone installation and not a server module because module code can't be modified.
On another note, I really like the level of participation, even the sarcastic replies

some see things differently , some actually like that it is all broken down to specific sections , they like that if they want to see a grow log on a sweet seeds strain they go to the sweet seeds sub forum , or if they want to see one on a dutch passion strain they go to the DP sub forum , then they dont have to look through 39237264 different grow logs to find the specific log they are looking for
hope that makes sence to you
peace
