Thanks for the information on cardstock specs. All I have ever seen on cardstock refers to thickness by weight - 90-pound, 120-pound, etc. Do you happen to know what the weight equivalent is, relative to the thickness?

Basically, the USPS is expecting "90 pound" cardstock. AI claims that is "0.0074 to 0.0122 inches"

AI claims 120lb is 0.0145-0.018 - potentially I tiny fraction too large.

The .002 measurement is probably the pages not perfectly pressed together when measuring a stack and accuracy in the measuring equipment.

I have also seen postcards laminated on one side only (not the address side), and that would make a difference in thickness. I wonder if USPS would consider that a “sticker”?

Does anyone have the This is a Letterbox blurb to add to a new box that they could send me? Working on some plants. I know I've seen it on this site, but can't find it!

On the toolbox drop-down at the top of the page you will see a "forms" opotion.

If you keep your entire logbook private anyone who might want to check out your logbook for your plants won’t be able to see them.

Just sayin’.

There it is! Thank you!!

I've been sending laminated postcards thru the mail for over 10 years without incident... I have found that certain employees do tend follow 'guidelines' differently. That's why I go on Saturday - Colin is a peach - the guy there during the week is a pit...

wow, I clicked on the link and was surprised to see my name as writing this and I don't even remember doing this.

Its times like this I realize how old I am getting...😳🤭

hmmmmmm. Or maybe someone else wrote it and just added my name. 🤔

I’ve been using 110# card stock with no laminate and no issues. Often the postal barcode will not print on laminated cards which then requires an extra step of the barcode sticker. I have also successfully used wide packaging tape on the front (picture side) only with no problems.

I suspended from FB February 2025 without warning or reason. Sad, but not sad.

I usually laminate only the front side of my postcards to protect the artwork, and to prevent the card from getting torn. I've never had any problems mailing them.

The point is that I’m surprised and intrigued by what is getting through the post office as it relates to postcard LTCs: Double sided lamination, multiple layers of cardstock, stickers, glitter and more.

So I looked up what the usps allows. A good point was made during the discussion: some postal employees enforce rules and some don’t.

When I clicked on the link my name was in it. I'm sure that anybody who clicks the link will see their own name .

We can make that happen!!

Paper Trail - I just realized, I have you on my Bingo Card!!!

You’re on mine, too! So far, only a belated straight-line win for me. 😉

My privacy is very important to me!

Oh my gosh whatever and however you did it, it worked, and what a huge difference!!! Yes the ads are still there but they are not even remotely annoying.
Thank you so much for this tweak GT! I think it is going to make a world of difference for those that do not have the premium membership while navigating the AQ website on their phones.

yes, because it is a fill in for a box you are planting, so it is all set for you. Ryan is so amazing. It is the same if I put a link here for my logbook........
condo .. but it will be your logbook. yeah, try it 😉

condo maybe not my logbook, just my homepage......... try this too

If you search for boxes by a planter who has their plants restricted, you will get the following message:

"Trail name" has restricted their plants from searches.

You can frequently get around this by searching on Owner, rather than Planter, but the two are not always the same.

🤭.....well there you go. At least its not my age again. I was started to get concerned.

wow, very cool. There should be a class on all the little tricks of Atlas. I learn something new everyday.

I’m not “worried” about other people’s logbooks either. Hiding the plants in their logbook is just something you very rarely see since there’s no reason to do it. Sometimes the easiest thing to do if you are interested in a certain person’s plants is to just go to their logbook.

And making that page private restricts them from searches if someone just types in the planter. They may not know they need to type in owner.

That’s been a controversial debate several times - there ARE legitimate reasons sometimes, to hide one’s logbook, even though there are ways around it for a determined person. But it’s a good idea for newbies to at least know the options available, since logbooks are hidden by default when they first join.

Plants aren't hidden by default because most people want their plants to be readily available. All the other pages of one's logbook are private by default, though.

So if plants are hidden, that's something the planter deliberately choose to hide.

Not sure how the admins handle enhancements, but I had a thought. It would be fun to be able to react to Tracker Posts like you can to messages in the message boards. Even better if all reactions were a little more accessible with icons rather than words and that show who was reacting.

What he said. :)

Has anyone seen this? No spoilers please!

I loved it. Jesse Plemons (who I have been a :::huge::: fan of for years) is just amazing, as is Emma Stone.

You can see my plant hides when you pry them from my cold, dead listings!
