I just spoke to the enquiries officer and they forwarded your enquiry on to the seedbank manager. I'd appreciate it if you wait for him to have time to reply to you. We're all volunteers doing this in our spare time and I know he only has one free day a week to work on CPS stuff. Many thanks.

@stuarttaylor37 I forgot to tag you in the post. So I'm quoting it and tagging you for your info.

@Bog boyWe had a change of seedbank organiser around that time so your request may have been lost in the transfer. Please contact the society on https://www.thecps.org.uk/contact.php with your details and what you ordered if you can recall that. The Enquiries Officer will then look into it for you.

@Kiwi Earl @Paul O'Keeffe For some unknown reason the ability to change usernames had been disabled by the provider in a software update. I've found the setting and re-enabled it. You should be able to update your profiles now. Please message me if you can't, and I'll do it for you.

Things are operational. There were volunteer shortages during COVID and just after. We have a new membership secretary (well, it's Ron once again). He's able to process memberships once a week. Please keep in mind that it can take 21 days for you to receive your membership pack. Also, at present, and historically, our system doesn't send an email confirmation of sign-up. It's the PayPal receipt that acts as confirmation.

Update delayed until Mon 23rd August or Tues 24th. I'll keep you all posted on the progress.

Our web developer will be running a software update this coming Friday. This is usually something that I do myself, but this is a bigger one and it makes the theme incompatible unless someone more experienced handles the upgrade. That way, if something goes wrong, he can restore a backup.

Thanks, @dennisB

It was suggested that, since Brexit, the UK & EU sales & trading sections be separated. This is due to Customs, CITES & Phytosanitary certificate requirements. I've done this now, although there's no way I'm going to go through and move historical posts around to put them in the right section. That would be a hell of a lot of work.

It’s been rectified today. It was just mobile device browsers. But we want everyone to be able to access the site properly.

I've asked for that to be looked into by our web developer. Hopefully he'll be able to sort it, as I agree it's a pain in the butt.

I'd like to welcome Marcel van den Broek to the moderating staff of CPUK Forum. Marcel is eagle eyed for spammers and I'm sure he'll do a great job helping to keep things clean and tidy. Thank you for your service, @Marcel van den Broek

Hi @ada and everyone who posted here. I've literally only just noticed this. I'm going to rectify that by setting a notification up for me when someone posts in this particular part of the forum. My inbox is always open, too.

I'll sort that out. Somehow. LOL. I'll add it to my to-do list.

We'll definitely be working on it. It's been a while. Mind you, it's difficult to pin them down. But it's always worth the trip when it happens.

Spammer's @dennisB I've banned them and blocked the IP address.

Should be fixed now.

You can remove them or leave them on. No harm either way, except for aesthetics. Happy Growing!

It takes a while for them to settle in that's all. Some of the blackening could be just normal old-leaf die-off. Dew will happen but it can take a few days. Don't dispair. Things will turn out just fine.

I've not heard anything about FredG in a long time either.

Hi Priscilla. I've forwarded your message onto the seedbank manager for you. Are you waiting on something for a while?

Really nice.

Hi @cap Welcome to CPUK. You bought a great book there. I also recommend Carnivorous Plants by @Nigel H-C for beginners. Feel free to ask any questions on this site. Newbies are always welcome.
