Thank you. We are glad you are enjoying it! We have more sections to add like Photography.

This looks a promising development. Photos add a lot to online communities, and being able to comment on them makes them so much better to enjoy.

I like the idea of being able to post photos in threads. I've just discovered that posting option. I was wondering how to do 'thumbnails' for bigger pictures that would stretch the forums; maybe that does it for you?

Will try & have a play in this new feature in the next few days.

I'd hate to see Joe get angry with his computer again.

Did you see the whole set of pictures on the link I posted. If you REALLY want to see some pent up frustration being released you should take a look at the rest of them!
