Iāve noticed that there is bug when viewing topic with photo attachments (uploads). Normally it is possible to zoom any photo to full size, but currently it is not working. I hope to fix it soon.
If you encounter any other strange behaviour, just let me know 
Photo zooming is fixed now, it should also improve speed of loading of topics as there are now optimized (smaller) images loaded firstā¦ Full size image is loaded after clicking on thumbnail.
Hello,
major core update was done today. (btw in the middle of Google blackout - probably longest in Europe in past 5 years). After some testing it is workable nowā¦
Iāve fixed many bugs in GrowFAQ which should be ok now, audited also security features so we can welcome new moderators on board and published three great features:
Iāve added small section to the top of āDiscoveryā pages (Homepage / Latest / Categories / Top) which now shows users currently online. Only registered users are shown.
Thumbnails in Image Gallery (forum category) are now enabled. When you browse through the topic list, you can see small thumbnail on the right.
Iām now looking for some solution to have bigger thumbnails also in the topic itself, so one doesnāt have to scroll down through big list of uploads. Iād prefer gallery arrangement with medium sized thumbnails, possibility to click thumbnail to zoom photo to full screen with arrows left/right to step through individual photos attached in the topic.
Last updated gallery topics are now listed straight on Homepage. You can get there by clicking on logo in header or going to /latest in discovery mode. Carousel is scrollable and you can scroll right / left also on tablets to see about 15 gallery topics total.
Let me know if any problems / browser bugs arrive
This place is really coming along nicely Joe.
Appreciate all your hard work brother, itās definitely noticeable!
Stay hazed,
Jake
Is there a way that I can opt out of showing as online? Did I miss it somewhere under preferences?
You havenāt missed it, it is not there (yet)ā¦ But thanks for pointing this out. Iām sure we can add āInvisibility modeā for it. That would be good security improvement.
Long-term we still need to rework Whoās online design so that it is capable to display more than 20-30 users concurrently online 
without taking too much screen estate.
It is now over a year since Iāve started development on OG. It was a challenge in a way that I chose much different technology than Iāve work with so far. And every time you try and use non-proven technology you have to start learning it step by step and risk running into many obstacles and dead-ends in which you have to throw out many days work.
Anyway it was worth it and Iām happy to see you all browsing aroundā¦
Time to re-evaluate a littleā¦ By now you probably have enough experience using the site to tell if the site missing something.
Letās do a brainstorm about future changes and ideas. I canāt promise to turn them all into reality but I welcome any suggestions.
So far weāve got few requests:
Great job so far @LemonadeJoe. Doing the OG legacy proudā¦
Overall I like the Discourse format. Donāt do much on mobile, but PC and laptop formats work well.
Havenāt figured out what the green dots beside membersā names are - posting totals? Likes? Membership age? Hopefully, not the dreaded Karma. I swear that killed the old OG long before the DEA did.

I am happy with the site. Well done and keep on keeping on.
Thanks for support @Baudelaire and @ryasco!
LOL 
it resembles karma with its design, but it is derived from Likes. Also each added point is like crossed milestone and difficulty for reaching another increases. You need to double number of Likes to get another point ā¦
It is another fun feature like member badgesā¦
You are doing great thanks. How about the flags for nationality like in 1.0!? LOL
Iāve almost forgot that yesterday weāve accomplished great milestone - We can celebrate 1st Year Anniversary of Overgrow 2.0 going online.
Thanks to you all for great support and enthusiasm, it has been a great year with you. Great community is forming here and I must say that I love the spirit that weāve been able to establish here as true followers of OG1!
Btw there is about 20 GB of photos in member galleries and it is growing exponentially ! This number is doubling every few months.
We are not only overgrowing the world this time around, but overgrow is becoming a milestone in our lives, if it didnāt happen already in 1.0.
Not only are we followers, this is āThe Cult of Overgrowā
PS.: I won;t be a year old until like May next yearā¦ I found out late about overgrow being up and running. I didnāt find out really u know. I used to type overgrow in the address bar many times a year, and one day BOOM! There it was.
I just saw my notification that I got the Anniversary Badge! My my, how time flies! Who else has been on for a year already?
Iām so grateful for this community.
Jake
Oh damn nice dude. Not me yet. I wonder when i joined. I know it was this year sometime.
I got the āMaster Photographerā Badge todayā¦ LOL
You must have registered literally the same day weāve gone onlineā¦ Congrats!
Just click your avatar - there is Joined dateā¦ You will get Anniversary in 2 days
You were both pretty fast with registration
woooooooo!! overgrowwwww were doing this shit guys!!!
I actually signed up right at the end of beta test, after you invited me via email. Iām so glad I was signed up over at the ghost town which we call CW. Looking back, had i not been emailed it would have been months before I realized OG was back.
Congratulations to you @LemonadeJoe and the rest of OG support staff. A year of steady and consistent growth is very impressive and the collection of gardening enthusiasts assembled here rivals any community on the net.
Hereās to year 2 of OverGrow 2.0!
Stay hazed
Jake
Just realized I got my Master Photographer badge yesterday. I owe thanks to all with whom Iāve communicated on this forum, as you have helped me to gain much knowledge from your responses to my sometimes stupid questions. Glad to share this forum with all of you!!!
Grow on.
