Inevitable while I adjust things - should be back to normal now, I'll continue on ndslr theme until I have ironed out the bugs

It's not a huge issue, I always left the forum on recent posts and refreshed the browser whenever I revisited.

If it self updates it will only have ten minutes at most until the splash screen kicks in.

I guess making these minor adjustments reveal either process irregularities or hidden bugs, like unclosed loops etc. which have been lurking under the surface for a long time.

Certainly does - in this case when you created a new topic, it didn't update your visited topics with the topic id & time - has been like that since the software was written originally - nobody noticed because there wasn't a function that compared the data minute to minute as it does now.

Chris, is it possible to somehow tag technical images (process illustrative) to prevent them coming up in the splash screen?

I don't want to delete the images because they are appropriate to illustrate a process, or explain something in a post but they were never intended as gallery images.

Very often I make a screenshot on the hoof as it were, rather than hosting it with a batch from Flicker, I just add it to the post, but now that means it also lands in my gallery, and hauled out occasionally for the splash screen, for which it's not particularly suitable.

Everybody,  does the 'Splash Screen' rolling gallery improve your experience of the forum?

Does it encourage you to post more images to the forum?

Yes  I can do a "private" tag - leave it with me.

I see the green arrow now shows you how many new posts there are in the topic - 2 arrows - 2 posts :lol:

That explains my multiple green down arrows.

I'll tidy that up - unless you like the idea - might be a bit daunting for someone new to the bird topic.... :lol:

Now in place on the upload mini screen - check the box if you want the image to NOT appear on the splash screen carousel. It will still go in your gallery  but won't be chosen for display.

I am working on a corresponding checkbox for the gallery so you can set or unset the private flag retrospectively.

Yes please.  One green arrow per topic is great.
