Looking forward to seeing you there. September 5, 2018 5:22 PM by gardenmaeve Thank you for your great help! For the moment I'll be happily clicking away + especially enjoy the new feature of zooming into the picture September 5, 2018 3:46 PM by Hatschi If you have any further questions @Hatschi Drop me a PM here or at the new PW and I'll help if I can. 😃 September 5, 2018 3:34 PM by gardenmaeve You're here now and I'm glad!

September 5, 2018 3:31 PM by Hatschi For the time being, the FAQ here will also be helpful to you as the new PW FAQ is not yet fully functional, so a booklmark to this FAQ is wise 😉 There are a few minor differences we'll address as time goes on. September 5, 2018 3:26 PM by gardenmaeve As we've discussed here earlier, all of the collections will be archived. They will not be directly linked on the new platform, but will be available to you. We'll keep you all posted as we move into that phase. September 5, 2018 3:24 PM by gardenmaeve But one question please: what will happen to our collections here? As I understand data are not transferred September 5, 2018 3:17 PM by Hatschi Thank you for providing the link!
