Said it before but I'll say it again...the site is deadly as if you can't tell from how often I'm on. Is it possible to have a "Previous Page" & "Next Page" option at the top of a topic as well as at the bottom. (I keep clicking on Prev Topic button expecting it to go to prev page...agghhh). Also when uploading avatars etc can you add a browse option to our upload areas so we don;t have to remember the exact filename of images we have uploaded (My memory is crap). Thanks! ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |

Not changed yet. The avatars are by default 64*64pixels. The only way to accommodate different sizes is to remove the width and height attributes to them. I'll do that now and see how we get on - any that are too large (>100 wide or >100 high) will get deleted I guess! -------------

Just a bit of constructive criticism, I understand the rationale of increasing the post number to qualify for the Private Room, but remember there may be a lot of people (like me) who really love this site and visit most days but maybe are more comfortable staying in the background a bit. "Lurker" - yes I suppose you could say that. All due respect to the Moderators & everyone involved in the running of the site as it is a wonderful living breathing memento to a legendary institution, but don't make it elitist - as that's something the Grove NEVER was. The odd gob$hite who comes on stirring it up will get bored and move on anyway ...

Do you know that from the number of posts list that from page 10 to 26 there are users who have never posted. And there's about 26 users per page. That means approx 416 members have never posted and of course like Fester suggests a lot of people just "lurk" . And we have currently 642 members.

Fester, I hear ya... and you've been lurking long enough to know us and that none of us want the site elitist, but it's also a pain when someone tries to mess it up. It's nice to have somewhere where the situation can be discussed and ideas suggested about what to do, safe in the knowledge that the Private room is just that - Private.
