Photos on Homepage
« on: July 19, 2008, 10:41:56 PM »
Eddie, would it be possible to put names on the photos that come up on the home page? I know they are random images and seem to come up in any order they feel like so I guess you could not put anything in the side bar but if a name was on the photo that would suffice if we wanted to ask questions or look for plans. No big deal but if it is easy it would be appreciated. Thanks, Ian.

I could take a look at it and see what I can do Ian, but I'm a bit tied up with a couple of family issues right now..... Remind me about it in a couple of weeks please.

Okay, the vessel name will now appear above the photo on the homepage images - If you get the dreaded red "X" showing a missing image, it's purely because some of the files have been renamed and your browser is reading the files it has stored in it's cache..... They will all appear in time, or you can hit Alt-F5 in Internet Explorer to refresh the cache when this happens.

Regards
Eddy

Thanks Eddy,
The addition of the name is a useful touch, and increases the appreciation of the random photo.
Every now and again I see an unfamiliar photo, so the stock must be increasing from time to time.
