Re: URL Title substitution?

Hi Stu, crossed again

I'll be brief.

Not sure how not having the control panel would prevent spammers from posting. The confusing thing about is, as mentioned by someone else too, is that the first page you get (got?) was an invitation to edit the profile (which you then can't).

Agreed. I'd love to improve the system in hundreds of ways, but unless you've got a spare £30k for a full-time developer it'll take a bit of time.
Stu, I'm not saying you should have it all fixed by yesterday, I think you're doing a fine job, you've been very responsive and quick to "fix". As said before, please consider my "criticism" to be aimed at helping by letting you know what it is that confuses/annoys newbies. If at times I have not been fully diplomatic about it that must have been because I was somewhat annoyed with some of the features on the site. Sorry for making that a bit too obvious than

Streamlined and more categories for organisation? - seems a bit less and more at the same time.
Well, streamlined as in uploading from the forum edit window and as in being offered choices/quidance for keywords and/or other data that would make the galleries better searchable (as detailed on WATW).

I must admit, I thought that fora was the plural of forum as well
I frankly wouldn't know what it is supposed to be in English, but I think/hope my "English" is not too confusing anyway

P.S. Personally, I don't mind the criticism, but when so many other members have put in hundreds/thousands of hours of work, it'd be a big help if you could be a bit more diplomatic when asking for features or fixes or picking holes in the site.
I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks again Stu
Arp
