That window was in Google browser and still doesn't work right. Explorer worked fine. Windows XP professional Pentium 4 3.0 GHz

Google Browser... Version 38.0.2125.111 m
Resolution... 1920 x 1080
I've never had a web page do this before.
The newest HTML5 web pages have difficulty displaying on some new browsers, and on many older browsers.

Nice. I will probably forget my password- case sensitive, lover, upper, special caracter and number.
Of course I was looking for Prilep.
When I search for Prilep it only show one TI 1325.
The other one TI 1291 does not show up unless you type exactly 'Prilep No.2'.

I tried to place my order. First it said I had the wrong password and then it locked me out.

Apparently it doesn't recognize the email address either. I thought I might have to confirm at my email address but nothing was sent to it.

Hi Maks
I saw where Marty contacted you about using wildcards (%) for these searches. That information might be good to post for the group.
If you want to find any accession that might begin with "Prilep", you can use the wildcard phrase "prilep%" in the search box. You can also use it before a word, such as "%mammoth", or on both sides at once, "%Orinoco%". However, if you do use these wild cards you will want to combine them with a genus limiter for Nicotiana, which you can find using the advanced search function.

So I forwarded your screenshot on to the developers and this is what I heard back: "I am not seeing the issue here under the same resolution (but [I'm] on Windows 8.1). He might try to increase his zoom factor: Ctrl + With Chrome, I generally see a smaller portion of the entire window being occupied by [GRIN-Global] than when in Firefox. Using Ctrl + --he can enlarge that display and maybe that will solve the issue. If he still sees that, let us know. (XP??? --he should be thinking about upgrading his Operating System since XP is ripe for security breaches since it is no longer supported by Microsoft.)"
Your tech guy offers lame excuses, blames the user, and fails to recognize that there is an issue. Bummer.

Ok, I resent my data and I was able to order just fine.

He didn't blame him. the gov and our university (and I imagine a lot more institutions) abandoned all xp systems and thus the website isn't tested on that platform in house. I've never heard about that chrome setting trick before and who knows, it may fix the problem he is seeing...

hey guys!I know its been a really long time coming, but the new GRIN website and database are finally up and running. I've been uploading a lot of information (lots of names, places and pedigrees) so you should go check it out and try doing some searches because you'll likely get some different results than in the past. you can create an account and make a wish list of your favorite varieties, or just sort of bookmark them so you don't have to search for them every time. right now I'm still toiling away getting the images up, but they're coming...

I don't have a lot to offer but does GRIN need any seed grown in IL ? I saved seed from 10 varieties for my 2015 crop. It is cleaned and bagged .
Hi Jessica I was surprised when I was visiting Grin. You have really done the pages much nicer.
