  2. likes the changes in Gallery Style; I'll have to do some work to get it to pull Featured Images from somewhere more meaningful than just the latest uploads.

      The bugbear I find with the recent images is that they are easily overcome by one uploader.

  3. Sunday mornings are not meant for staring at code; especially when the end result is found to be user error.

      People don't understand global warming. Although the title may suggest "warming", that's an average over the planet and you will notice that more noticed & affected at the poles. By the melting of ice locked in the ice caps (fresh water), fresh water destroys the gulf stream balance (less dense salt water). Cutting it off... Setting the northen hemisphere into a new ice age. Ice reflects the sunlight cooling down the planet and re-stabilizing the planets global temperature...

      That's about right Mick! No wonder some people get ripped off for every email scam when they haven't got one scrap of common sense, the ability to read what's in front of them or follow a very simple instruction. Honestly, they're a danger to themselves and really shouldn't be on the 'net. grrrr.

      I rather thought that railway modelling was a hobby for steady tranquil types, people who can't be doing with the stresses of modern life or at least an escape from it. Having read some of the posts and replies on this site, I find that my hobby too is slowly being taken over by the poor manners and unpleasantness so common in modern life. The models may be infinitely better than years gone by, some of the people are not.

      Indeed Andy; it`s creeping-in like the damp, but mercifully RM-web is well run, and the admin/mod-team will not allow the pejorative-minority to spoil it for the rest.
