Kris, if you use the Report a problem/Suggestion tab at the bottom of the page then you could suggest that. It's a good idea and who knows it might be possible!

Once spent a week in a B&B in Morfa Nevyn with Ken Dodd's brother Frank and his wife. Another very funny Dodd!

The results are some lovely, gritty black and white images. The tones are fantastic, all those gorgeous blacks!

That is one amazing set of images and just about the most horrifying thing that my wife Sue could dream of - she has a real aversion to mud!

The redoubtable Mr Dickens, a stalwart of the written word in his time, was reputed to have been paid one penny (1d) per word. Therefore, some good and some bad happened becomes they were the best of times, they were the worst of times.......and so on, and on and on......

I've had a look womble and it's quite interesting. All the very oldest pages come up as page 40, so you're right there are many more than 40. The earliest also only show thumbnails, some very small thumbnails at that, but they are also marked as by "unknown" and date back to about 2002. After a while, there are names allocated in the normal way and from about 2008 onwards the pictures also display properly. Or something like that, I can't vouch for every page as there are too many of them to trawl through.

What I do expect is that the forum threads will have a lot of blank spaces where images used to be and that once we get to about 2008 onwards the gallery will be the reliable collection of our pictures.

I've always thought of things like this as simply offering options. We do the same with the various ADAPS website options, offering the forum, facebook, Flikr, YouTube and anything else that looks useful After that, it's up to the members what they like to use and this changes with time. For the first two years, almost nothing happened on our facebook page and then it suddenly erupted into activity and these days is a major part of how we all keep in touch.

Similarly here, there are all sorts of options and the gallery and the forum do overlap, but it depends what we want to use. The gallery pictures will be there indefinitely to look at. The forum thread images will gradually go down the pages and be rarely looked at. If members choose to host those images off-site then shen they stop supporting that they will disappear.

There's also ePHOTOzine, the sister site to this one, and I have around 5000 images on there, one more being added every day.

It's all out there to be grasped and used, so feel free!
