Allotments 4 All

It's a while since I made this request and we have had quite a few newbies since then.

Now that the new season is about to start and as a favour to me could newbies, and 'oldies' if they haven't done so already put their location under their user name/ avatar, particularly if it is not your profile details.

I often get a fright when I see people saying I have done this or that and here's me on the roof of England still in hibernation.

I think it would be useful for example...when anyone is giving advice which might be OK in their area but it might not be so good for others in another area.

I have put this request in 'Basics' rather than in the 'Shed' simply because I think it is basic information that can help us all.

Thanks in advance.....Tg

Hi, newbie here from Portsmouth.

Hello to all!

You can also pop your location into your signature so it appears in all your posts..

Hi LottieLil.  I'm a Pompey boy from years back but London now.

Hi Nick!

Hmmm, funny, I have Portsmouth in my account profile as location, but it's not showing!

I will put it in my sig for now!

It's also nice to know if a new member is in your neck of the woods!

all done tg was going to put the sunshine coast  but hey thought no one would know where that is lol

It still doesn't want to show Portsmouth under my avatar! How did you guys manage it?

I have put it in 'forum profile' and it definitely shows in there, but not here!

Same here. I added it to my profile, but it's not showing.

I would also like to know people's soil types.  So people with clay soils who say things like you do not need to water plants they will find the water, can be ignored.
The words which appear below my avatar, seem to be in a field called Personal Text.

Thanks digeroo!

Yes that works 

Like It!

Thanks ...Tg

I have put my location in so am testing to see if it worked

It did not work so will try again

That worked, thank you 

I found this tricky too.

Go to your profile page. Then click on modify profile. Type you location into personal text, and or other info into the signature space. Then click change profile at the bottom.

Worked for me. Hope it helps.

Cheers

Just as a test, tried to add my allotment soil type.

Back garden is heavy clay. Puzzling because the allotment is only a fifteen minute stroll away.
I'm glad it's that way round as otherwise the digging would kill me!

Trying to get this to work.  I must be dumb.

Do what Beersmith said, It worked for me.
