I don't want to be a pest myself by cross-posting, but it seems that only people with questions go to the pest forum, while folks with answers are elsewhere.

Does anyone have advice on how to get advice (besides making pleas like this)?

I know how you feel! We have so many forums now that I often do not make it into many of them! Hang in there though cause eventually someone in DG will come up with an answer!

Thanks all! A couple of people have popped over and given some feedback. There's still some mystery to my garden plague, but I'm gonna wait it out a bit before raining (more) chemical terror on my little ecosystem.

Would it be possible for some of the forums to be combined? There are so many, there is no way to keep track of all..Also, it would be nice to have the option of replies to our post e-mailed to us if we wanted.. Anybody else feel this way?

I love this site, but I agree that we may be reaching a sort of entropy in the multiplying forums. Some seem to overlap, though I wouldn't call them entirely redundant.

I considered several forums before deciding to begin this thread here. I couldn't quite distinguish between Garden Talk and General Discussion (on a gardening site), for example. I'm all for fine distinctions though. I don't mind the many forums. This community is just reaching the point where those who are used to keeping up with almost everything, are now having to choose.

Maybe it is time to categorize the forums.

Though you can't have the actual replies emailed to you, you can click on "Watch this thread" at the top of each page within a forum, to be automatically notified by email when there is a reply posted. Then you can check click a link in the email to go to the forum where the reply is posted. I use that option very often (which is how I knew I was getting no responses to my request for help in the Pests forum).
