That seems to be cured now - well done, Stuart!
You want more work?  I can't put in an avatar or personal details - nice to know where people live when you're reading them. I appreciate that there's a bit of a security problem here for 'new members' - or spammers (incidentally, you seem to have eliminated all the spammers - congratulations, what did you do? But some of us are model members so could perhaps add a little personal information?

Links from home page map
The map on the home page is very good and works finr for Oceania, N. America &c but clicking on Europe takes you to 'Eco-travel'. I don't see a way to get to a 'Europe' folder - if there is one - and, of course, the 'Eco-travel' folder concerns more than Europe - thus causing confusion ...
I've mentioned before that the thread 'Ten Best Places in Europe' is accessed via 'Africa' ... so not getting the attention that it might!

Spam!
Hi, being new here and it being a bit different than the sister site I haven't quite got into the swing of how things work yet. Yesterday, I reported some spam, by clicking the ! box and going from there, but today it is still on the forum. Should I have done it via a different way? Who are the moderators and is there a way of seeing who is on line?
Thanks.

Dead links
The 'user cp' on the home page is dead.
Might I mention again that there is a forum but no gallery for flowers/plants?
... and another thing ... there seems to be no 'South America' gallery. I'm sure there used to be one?

You cannot post directly into a message.
You load your picture into a gallery (you've done that okay).
You go to the picture (full screen) and below the picture is a panel labelled 'picture details' and within that is a white panel labelled 'UBBCode' which will contain the unique details of that picture.
You can either copy and paste the code or more easily - press the end button which says, 'copy to clipboard'.
You then go to your mail in a forum and press "CntrlV" - voila, your picture will appear in your mail, after you've sent it (just the code appears until you send).
[Stating the obvious - you can only have one item on your clipboard at once so you'll need to repeat the process for every picture you want to post in a mail. It's usually easiest to keep two screens of WAB open - one for the galleries, one for the forum!]
Hope that's clear and helpful. Good luck

Clarification: the 'user cp' in the navigation panel on the left of the home screen is dead but the one in band towards the top of pages does work! Sorry
