dude, welcome to the forums, but in the future, could you maybe try to combine some of your threads? you've posted like 8 threads in the past couple hours, several of which are related. you don't need a new thread for every single question. a lot of them could have been asked in just one thread, like the two about your shrubs "What are they" and "Should i prune them" could have gone in one thread, etc.

that's what links are for. sorry if i sound kurt, i'm not trying to be. it's 12am and i'm kind of grumpy, had a bad day. i'm new to these forums too. someone will probably help you by tomorrow. i really don't know the answers to any of your questions. i just have a lot of pet-peeves when it comes to forum ettiquite. don't mind me, i'm just the angsty artist girl that thrives on drama and anarchy.

what i mean by links, is posting http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a124/MikeG2k/Misc/rabbitdamage1a.jpg instead of the same address with [img] tags around it, which make it show up on the page. if you just post the direct address to the picture, it saves space on the forum. people just have to click the link to view the pic, instead of it being right there on the page.

Well, I personally like to see the pictures right on the post...so I guess I'm not up on the forum ettiquite here yet, either.
Guess I ought to go back and read the handbook again.

If that's true, you shouldn't have minded the disorder and confusion of all the posts!

Meaning of anarchy:
1. Absence of any form of political authority.
2. Political disorder and confusion.
3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!

Photographs that are hosted on a different site (ie: photobucket) don't take any space on our site, however the page loading speed on our site is greately affected by the speed of the photo hosting site.

We have no problems whatsoever with anyone posting photos in their topics, as long as they are reasonably sized and you don't post too many. (2-3 photos @ 640x480 on a page usually doesn't cause too much speed loss, even for us poor folks who still have dial up. (The smaller the photos are, the more you can post)

If you post hosted photos here, please leave them on the photo host. (If you delete them from the host, we are left with a topic that has a big hole in the middle of it)

I found a page in the Critter Forum recently that had a total of 22 photos on it one day though, and it took FOREVER to load. We would prefer, in a situation like that, that members start a new topic to show their pet photos.

Other than that, please feel free to post your pictures using the [img] tags!

(Did that all make any sense?)

no, what i meant is that Mike said he didn't want to fill up a post with so many pictures. so i suggested he use links if that was the case. but using links makes it easier for people with 56k connections. i have cable, so i don't mind, but i'm sure there's people around here with 56k

I didn't have a problem with any of MikeG's posts and I have dial-up and a cheap, slow, walmart computer.
I am definitely a visual aid type person and always appreciate pictures and actually it takes my computer longer to go to the link than to see the picture right on the page.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY!!!!!!!

what i mean by forum ettiquite is things like not posting in all caps, not posting a gazillion pics in one thread so people with dialup don't have to wait 2 hours for a page to load, etc.

i dunno, i guess it's just me, but it really bothers me when people post one thread after another asking only one question in each thread. it clutters up the forum and makes it look untidy.

it's kind of like on another forum, where someone discovered this website where you could create a personal quiz and test your friends on how well they knew you. well, we ended up with like 25 sepperate threads for each person who wanted to post a quiz. it was total chaos. the mods finally locked all the indevidual threads and posted ONE thread for everyone to post their quizzes in.

whenever i have more than one question, i always try to combine them into one thread, unless they're so unrelated it would be silly.

so sue me. i can be a very nice person, but when someone does something that bothers me, i tell them, and sometimes it comes across as not being so nice.

________________

Mike, I'm sorry if i made you feel unwelcome or if you'd done something wrong. i only meant for you to keep those things in mind for the future. don't hesitate to post your questions, just keep in mind that if it's possible to ask two or three related questions per thread, it just keeps things a little neater and i personally happen to think it makes it easier for people to find, and answer your questions, because they're all in the same place

mike, i'm a hostess and the first thing i am going to do is answer your orginal question. for the rest of the season, i would just ignore the rabbits. but, as soon as you check the nest (check it on a regular basis) and the rabbits are gone, fill the hole, and put some chicken wire over the top of it. that will discourage the rabbits from going back there next season. also, if you have a dog or cat, some hair around the hole will deter them.

now, i am going to thank you for posting so many different threads. this is primarily an informational forum, and lots of posts & topics are referred back to when we are trying to help someone. by posting all your questions in individual topics, and putting the subject in the title, it makes it MUCH easier for me (and the other hostesses) when we have that question repeated. so, thanks again

as for the pics, bill said it very well (and he owns the site) and melcon6 added a very important point. for me, it is much easier for a properly sized pic to load in the topic than it is for me to click the links. does that help?

WOW Mike I have never seen them do that to grass before. They have Made a nest in my yard with leaves but never tore my grass out.

To answer your question when the babies got big enough they went away. I do not think there is anything you can do for them not to do it again. You might get some bloodmeal. Rabbit do not like the smell and they will go away. But everytime it rains you will have to re-apply. But on the plus side it is good for the soil.
