All I can think about when I see the new picture on the front page is how much I want to take a baby wipe to that wee one's mucky face.  :-[

How about using something like http://flickrslidr.com/ to create a rotating selection of images from the flickr UKB group?

I've done a quick test and stuck it on my site here.  The main disadvantage I can see is that the slide show is linear rather than random, so you always start at the most recently posted pictures.  I'll have a look around for some alternative 3rd party slide show things though.

Or maybe a collection of the greats (apologies for severe lack of quality, I spent 5 minutes doing this with Paint)

Great idea - but no routes/ropes/product placement.

Run fast - run free.

I had no idea Mr Buchananan played for Bury FC. I used to support Bury, back in the day  :-[

I recon we should be trying to breach more copyrights than that.

I think Photobox do something like that, maybe.

Nah I use photobox for printing stuff out (well I took advantage of their 30 free prints) and they have no API to flickr at all.  They might do their own slideshow, but that would involve everyone uploading their pictures to a photobox account, and loads of people have already done that on flickr.

Looked around at alternative slide shows using the API, but they're pretty much all identical.

Thought that might be the case, I have officially said everything that might be remotely useful now and will retreat from the technical stuff :shrug:

Mad Probs to The Wobble - shame his graded list which sparked the yorks guide didn't make it in - legend. And I know he's lurking on this forum 24/7 so it'll be a good shock to see himself!

Yes, why is there a front page that isn't the forum page? Is it to help me use the forum at work?

Bubba, this forum IS awesome content  :-*


Anyway, in the meantime, how about a stylish and elegant logo saying "mick ryan is still a cunt". Keep it friendly and welcoming...
