I notice that the Album pages have a different look to them... Maybe that's just the newer version and the folks at phpbb overlooked that thing with the script.
Gee... I guess I just got lucky because that was the first and only thing that I tried...

The album pages look different because I switched it from loading each photo in a window, to allowing you to scroll back and forth between photos.

the only snafu is that because the pictures are loaded in descending order, when you go to click on next, there are no more photos. You have to click on previous to see all the photos. I am thinking about changing the order to ascending.. :o

Mike...

P.S. The version of the Album did not change.

P.P.S. I just changed the order to ascending... I like it much better! :D
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

I used/built Sliding doors in my Galley. I liked them so much I used them on the inside too. Mine is a copy of a 1947 trailer and in the photos I had it had doors that swung up. Making it necessary to clear the counter top of all tall items so you could open the door. Inside as well they cured the problem of "ducking your head" every time you want to open a cabinet. Also unless you hinged an interior door in the center of the coach. When the door is open you block your entrance door opening, or at least the upper part. With the sliding doors you don't have to get into the coach to get, or put something in the cabinet.

I was on an really old wooden yacht recently which had sliding doors - to stop the doors sliding open at sea, a cotter pin ('split pin' in the US?) was pushed through a hole in the middle of the upper track/rail, where it went through the overlap of both doors. The pin was brass and it was on a thin brass chain so it couldn't be lost - it looked absolutely lovely against 70 year old varnished wood and apparently worked a treat.

Andrew..................."worked a treat"? I love to listen to you British. I once had a girlfriend who came from Southport. God how I loved to listen to her talk. I'll never forget her telling of her first visit to the US. She checked into a hotel and called the desk from her room asking if they would please have someone "knock her up in the morning". I can only imagine what the desk clerk must have imagined..............when all she wanted was a wakeup call. :rofl:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Yeah, I admit it, I do save up such expressions for use on predominantly American sites - most people do like to have their stereotypes reinforced, eh? But I try to keep away from the 'spiffing wheeze', 'corker' and 'old chap', even with Terry Thomas alongside.

Worst error? Complimenting a Canadian lady on her "wooly jumper" (ie, sweater) - I still don't know what she thought it meant but, boy, was she offended!

The one that gets me is when Americans talk about humping.

Sticking with the same subject, those Merkans seem to have a dance called 'The Shag'.
We do not have that dance in Britain. :no:
Well, we certainly do have it, but it's not really what you'd call a dance. :oops:

I'm a little late on this thread. But, I am putting sliding doors on both my galley and cabin cabinets.
