There currently seems to be a problem with photos. They upload ok but aren't showing up anywhere except for when you open the problem in question (not on new photos bar for instance). It makes it hard for people to find any newly added pics.

BTW have stickified this thread as a place for folk to report any probs with the site.

not so much a problem as a question about how best to proceed

via YouTube and RealLife I get asked about bouldering suitable for children

We have a few family favorites and I'm sure others do too - there are a plenty of boulders that provide great stuff for little kids that are of little interest to tall folk

I was thinking about posting pics and vids for kids stuff at Burbage North - I was thinking of writing/posting up the kids stuff as being a separate "buttress" or area of Burb North rather than mix it in with other stuff - I was planning on map and topo pics as well

is it worth adding Burbage North Kids Circuit as a separate crag and then the different areas as sub-sections?

obviously this line of thinking will cover other areas, so I thought I'd try to sort it out now

 I love this plan, please do it lagers, be great for a non-local (me) to have something to set the offspring on.

If guess you wanted to, you could even create Kid's Circuits as a completely seperate option on the home page alongside the other areas - Eastern Grit, Western Grit, Limestone etc.. Would that be any use, or would you rather just have all the kids circuits alongside the adult stuff?

a separate "kids areas" linked from the home page would work well for me r-man - it would make it easy for parents to browse kids circuits only

what do other people think?

also,

I stuck this pic on the Burb West section

is this stuff useful for non-locals?

could it be improved upon?

I was thinking of something similar for the kids circuits - it's pretty handy that many git crags can photographed from a distance

Very Good idea, you're full of 'em.

Can add Curbar's "Backside" circuit to the list.

Fnarr fnarr

Honestly it's better than it sounds with the added bonus of adult climbing on the other side of the block.

This might be grade dependent - but I always think of the far area as the Famous Grouse or Breakfast area not West end girls. True git not true git innit? Similarly, I don't know which problem Go west is but everybody knows the Nose don't they? General idea is great though.

 I labelled the current areas based on names already used in guidebooks/online. They could easily be changed if that's what people prefer.

My only 2-cents about the "kids areas" is that it would be more useful as an overlay... so you find a place that has kids' stuff AND grown-up stuff to keep everyone happy.

Good idea on the kids probs. It can be surprisingly hard to find good probs for tiny people.

could we have a "kids" grade on the grade menu when entering new problems? - if this is too much trouble we could just make do with the choices available already

it doesn't make sense to grade tiny folks' problems with big folks numbers

This is the start of the slippery slope of different grades for short people ;)

my plan would be to provide a photo of the crag like the burb w one above with both the kids boulders and the big boys boulders labeled

just take away one numerical grade for short people - it's sooo much easier for them

we've got font sub 5 grades already. Don't see why those can't be used.
