  • Thread protocols ?

    Can I ask a silly question please. Often when I'm reading a post on a particular thread, I find I have a related question to ask. Should I open a new thread or can I ask it on the same thread. For example I have just read the posts about rhubarb and I have a question I would like to ask about rhubarb. Should I start a new thread or can I ask it on the same one. Thanks. Sorry if this is a silly question.

    It's up to you Bal, you can either ask on the thread or start a new thread. I don't think it matter that much.

      I would just ask away, Bal. If it's deemed inappropriate/should have its own thread then one of the fab mods on here would say so
      When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
      If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

        Thanks for that BM I just didn't want to hijack a thread but it seems silly to ask a related question on a new thread

          Thank you KittyColdNose. Strange but there's no "like" button on your post ??? Strange

            The like button vanishes on other folks posts for me too. Just a bit random

              Another reason this site is so great! No one is made to feel like they've done something wrong or intruded where they're not wanted.
              Oh dear, maybe I should have posted this on the what makes me happy thread lol

                Ask away, Bal. If one of us "fab mods" thinks it deserves a thread of its own, we'll move it into one.
                With the Like button it usually appears if you refresh the page

                      I often find the Like button is missing - then realise its one of my posts. For some strange reason you can't like your own posts! Doesn't seem right to me

                            Oh dear, I am often so rude, as I just 'jump in', and ask mine on same thread! Don't mean to be!

                              I think the main reason for starting a new thread is that when you use our most excellent search facility ( ) it picks up the subject matter more easily ( as would you if you are hunting back through historical threads)

                              For example- if you say 'ooooops' for the title then nothing is recognised...if you say 'are my seedlings frosted / overwatered' then it's much easier to find. In effect it probably is better to start a new thread unless it is exactly the same thing or very closely related, it's better not to piggyback on someone else's thread.
