Improved photo gallery!

Posted in

The photo gallery on the site has just been improved!

  • Supports upload of many photos in one go!
  • Supports full screen slideshow view!
  • You can now create albums yourself, and albums within albums if needed!

Use the Gallery link in the menu and try it out! Note that you need a separate login - see info on the page on the Gallery link.

Why separate login?
The new gallery solution is based on a separate software package (Gallery 3). This is good because it has much better functionality than the old solution. But it also means it is "outside" the rest of the site, so the layout/colours and login are separate.

BBQ photos added

Posted in

Photos from the BBQ in June are now added to the site - see the gallery.

Thanks to Finn Bachmann and Jim McKinney for providing the photos Smile

New common forum: Insurance

Posted in

From time to time, insurance matters are discussed in the general forum. From now on, these can be discussed in a separate forum called "Common: Insurance".

To new users: Everyone has access to the "Common forums", and in addition community specific forums such as "R1B forums". They are all reachable under the Forums menu item.

Best regards

How to use the forum

Posted in

Most of us have heard of these new things called "Forums". For those who are not sure of what they are, they are discussion areas. In our case we can use them to raise any topic we like and we can then all put our comments.

When you are logged in, you can view the posts, make comments and replies as you like. You can also start a new topic (discussion).

Let us know if you have any problems with it. Our email address remains the same las-violetas@hotmail.com. We will see if the Forum gets used but it could become a good discussion point.

We hope you like the website and please let us have your comments, which you can leave in the forum topic "Comments".
