I think there are a lot of volenteers who could be send a raw article and pictures, say in word format, and do the leg work of putting it on the site. I am always prepared to do that, it may of course take a little time, but it will get done. jema

Shame on you Jema, I thought you didn't like MS stuff! RTF format would be better as I've had to install Open Office to read an article.

I must accept that 99% of people will use word or works format files.

Don't do it (glossary) through the admin page, it's much easier from the front page, we just need to add the categories, I'll do that today.

Web sites are easier from the admin page so if you've got any suggestions let me know and I'll put 'em up.

Thanks

When I edit a glossary entry and save it it tells me it has saved the details but it doesn't save them! I've tried several times but it's not saving them.

Having looked at it, I can't see how shooting and fishing can be mixed in with wild food, damson, sloe and winchester short magnum???

I put WSM in the wild food section as it seemed the best place to put it. IT & Business or Livestock didn't seem right.

I've decided to try and put the odd entry in when I come across terms that I think might crop up and people might go 'whats a WSM?'

I've deleted it for know as I wanted to add a little description. I am more that happy (I would even prefer) if any of my descriptions are amended by more knowledgeable bods. DS, if you prefer I could batch up any shooting ones and PM you so as to not make mistakes.

Yeah that's fine. But you can see why they have to have their own headings. And why WSM (WMR comes before that! ), not to mention air rifle and ammunition.

I think TLAs are the best things to add to start with as many people may not know what they stand for. (Three letter Abreviations!) I added WSM as I was reading the Sako 75 .270 WSM review!

The only workaround for the glossary at the moment is to copy, delete the entry, past as a new entry and edit and save, I've had no response to my post on the mambo forum and the developer's site has been offline for some time...
