Like the intro Chris.

Could I make a couple of suggestions?

1) We haven't yet got any Canon users so should they be for the moment in the 'other makes' collective but add Olympus in its place as Jeff uses that? 


2) Would it be better to split the text up to make it less of an eyeful to digest in one hit?
    I am thinking, make a break before the gallery text and maybe place it below the menu...maybe slightly smaller text? Although good information
    it may not (arguably?) be the main reason to join the forum? 

I did make a couple of suggested changes to wording if you feel wothrwhile....




A forum originally for Nikon camera users now
embracing Sony, Fuji, Olympus and other makes. 
Discussion on digital photography techniques, 
reviews of cameras and lenses as well as projects.





Our gallery displays images in high resolution and provides sub threads to discuss 
individual images no matter where they appear in the main forums. 
Smartphone friendly, you can upload images direct from phone or wifi connection 
from your camera. Modern private messaging system akin to phone texting.

Ahem..... I use a Canon Sureshot G12 and I am very happy with it.
Just I personally dont like the interface and front controls on the Canon DSLRs.
Nothing against the cameras and lenses as they do work very well.

So we go with....

OK - sorted - note that if you want line breaks in html you need to use <br /> and double that if you want a blank line between paras. I have made the text a bit smaller too, so it doesn't swamp the page.

Oh - and I use a Canon Ixus and a Canon XL1S for video as well as a phone ... :lol:

Chris can you force wrap the lines to even out the flow of the centralised txt.  (Bit of a old brochure text anal anorak )

I think the txt on the front page is an excellent addition.


It provides a bit of reading for people which means they pause for a moment and see some of the images ......before going into the site.

There is a problem with doing that because resolution differences can leave words isolated on their own line.

I have justified the text instead - is that better?

I was worried this could happen, ever since Armand disappeared I was Glad J K stuck to his guns,..Look, this forum has Personality,..something Sorely missing on other forums, I can n`t explain it better than that,..there´s an Atmosphere here not found elsewhere.

The whole point of including the other names is to attract people - if you don't include them then google won't find us.
