Actually, I was thinking of moving the tangent button to sit alongside the reply button, because I think people forget it is there! Will add it to list of stuff for developers ...

A simple solution for your developers, introducing: 'You have selected to report XXX, Is this correct?'

Hi Arlo. I just reported 'abuse' to Evelyn when I didnt want to. Only was going to start a tangent. Is it possible to have the 2 buttons a bit more.. far from each other? (I was on my mobile phone).. not sure if any1 else had this issue?

Cool.

[quote user="Evelyn Barbour-Hill"]In the Gallery: is there a way to get a picture to show "full screen" or "zoom to fit" or "full size" , like we used to?[/quote]

Ah - yes, see what you mean. The old site didn't actually show full screen, but clicking an image opened it in a new window at the biggest size possible (ie as big as the underlying file), whereas the new one uses a magnifyer to show you the magnified bit at (I believe) the highest resolution.

I think it should be fairly straightforward to add an additional link to open the underlying file in a new window as before.

Well, I was thinking of having a whip-round amongst VetSurgeon members to see if you could help me buy great grandaddy's boat back (http://yachtpals.com/largest-yacht-gucci-9102 - para 6). Not as big as Abramovich's, but far more beautiful, and I promise you can all come and stay!

Not bloo+dy likely! The boat is cursed.

TB, suicide (poss murder), murder again - pretty but dangerous! Quite expensive to run as well!

Don't worry, I'll make arrangements for after I've gone:

[quote user="Michael Woodhouse"]Arlo, you've altered something in the reply box.[/quote]

Yes, I noticed that something seemed to be subtly different about the reply box post after the last upgrade. I'll ask developers.

Arlo, you've altered something in the reply box. Firefox gives me a red line under words I spell wrong - I spell a lot wrong. Previously I right click and got the standard FF options - including the spelling corrections. Now I get a different menu:

I need my spell checker back!

What, you mean the pda stills at the end of the video. No, that's a youtube thing. Whenever you watch a youtube video, when it gets to the end, it displays a selection of still of additional videos that might be of interest / by the same publisher.

I'm not fussy!

Spent today moving all of Mike Martin's videos over from his old gallery to the new Veterinary Cardiology Gallery. You won't notice a big difference, but in preparation for our collaborative galleries, all videos and images are now much easier to categorise, and it is now possible to upload images again (though I haven't yet completed the full architecture of the galleries, so haven't yet enabled that across all of them).

The carribbean is still some way off!

Pleasure.

A billion people? If we did, I wouldn't be tapping this from a desk in Mells - I'd probably be aboard my 300m superyacht somewhere in the Med!

Fixed, but not yet deployed to the live site. Awaiting that. Should be imminent.

I still can't get the track-back feature to work, though I thought I remembered you saying it had been fixed.

In the old site you could click on the words 'replied on' in the top left hand corner of any post and the link would take you to the post which to which the reply was being addressed. I found it really helpful to track back and make sense of any conversations.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'll bear that in mind for the next one (as and when ... I don't allow site takeovers that often).
