Maps
You have used something called AtGooglemaps to embed your maps - I can see where you got this app from at the moment.
There seems to be a problem in that it appears impossible (to me and so and so I suspect to most users) to embed an image in a text page. If that is correct and one can only link to images from text pages then I might as well create maps outside DissConnected and link to them - this isn't really ideal as it takes readers away from the site, but is a lot easier and just as sensible as the current system.
Images
There must have been something wrong with the Jpg I was trying to upload, I've used a different one and had some success...
Now I need to work out how to make text wrap around it.

Comments
Profile and My Folder
When I click on my name I want to see my pages (what is currently called 'my folder'). In effect reversing the two tabs would do the job.

Comments Again
If a decent discussion folder gets developed can it be junked or at least have restricted permissions? If DissConnected had 1000s of members all commenting o each others pages it could get very messy and confusing.

Hi Gary
I'm just playing around with things to see how some of it works for a user perspective. I wonder if you could create me as an administrator on this username?
I'm wondering where else this will show up...
I might pop in an see you on may way through Diss tomorrow pm to chat a bout a couple of things. Will call later.
