One difference I noticed so far between the British board and this one is that when you click on 'search' you don't get the 'Find Today's Posts' option which is very handy - is there any chance of this being added in the future?

Glitch on the image views counter
 The view counter for the images seems to be a bit of a random number generator! Look at the view count before clicking on the picture and again afterwards - usually the view count goes up by three, sometimes by 2 and rarely by 4 or 1! Odd ....

Dead links/absent galleries
The links on the home page to (e.g.) Birds are clickable but dead (all of them).
Whereas most topic areas have links to both corresponding gallery and forum, the plants section has no gallery and the fungi one has neither ... I think there are others ....

dead links
I've been encouraging people to join this forum but a couple have been rather put off by the dead links problem. The first thing that most people do is go to 'invertebrates' or 'birds' and then get a 'no page' error - not at all encouraging ....

I think I've mentioned all that I've seen. Being able to link to images in the gallery will be good. Have a good holiday!

One little gripe .... is it possible to change the dating system on messages &c from the US formula? I find it very disconcerting and would prefer the European ways ....

Thanks.
Another problem started yesterday. Entering on the home page I'm asked for user name &c and then not recognised .... On the other hand, I can enter the gallery or forum and am recognised! (At least I assume that being able to type this means I'm recognised?)
