i was just cruising the photo gallery and have noticed that there are so many stickied threads that there is only room for about half a dozen new posts at the bottom of the page. is this a bit excessive? just seems lots of newer posts get lost over page 2 where some people dont always look... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Maybe there needs to be two photo galleries?
One for all the bubbas/birth months One for misc photos (Proud Mummy moments). The problem I can see with the photo gallery at the moment is that there are going to be another years worth of baby photos which means that of course not only is there the toddler threads, the 2007 threads we are going to run out of room, and the misc photos will drop off as you said. So maybe we need a Proud Mummy Photo Gallery. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I like that idea too! I know what you mean about the amount of stickied stuff though...I do tend to make use of the "Active Topics" link to combat that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yeah true, I always miss new posts and since I'm on dial up its a nightmare to go back a page.
Maybe there could even be a whole new section for all the mummy threads cos the baby questions sometimes get lost too and the toddler section is going to start getting pretty full now too. |

I always think it's excessive too! Why do they need to be sticky anyway? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Easier to find. I tend only to look at the month photos so I see a selection of babies from each month as opposed to lots of one child that you get in the individual posts. -------------

Yeah it does make it easier to find. If it wasn't stickied I'd forget there was even a thread there for the june bubbas.
But having 2 lots of galleries sounds like a brilliant idea! |

Good idea on having 2 photo galleries - I agree with all the stickied pages - on another site that I have been to they have a seperate photo gallery for each month - but I think thats too much to flick through... ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

The stickied month threads in the pregnancy/baby/toddler sections won't get too out of control coz as each lot of new babies is born, the previous years bubs move up to Toddler etc. But I agree, the Photo Gallery is a bit messy coz there are 2 years worth of "born in" threads. I could always unsticky them all, that way they would only be bumped to the top when new pics are added, and if people want to add pics to their month and can't see it they can always do a forum search to find it? -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Is there any way for the photo gallery threads to show up in active topics? DH reckons it's shouldn't be that hard coding wise. It's a PITA that it doesn't. I miss lots of threads in there because if it's not on the first page I don't look at it and I only remember that it exists once a week or so. |

I think 2 different albums is a good idea too. One for the 'month' baby sticky threads and one for just general photos. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I'm liking the idea of un-stickying them... then they'd only show up on the top of the page when new stuff's been added. 'course people will ask for them to be stickied again when they have to go hunting for their month's thread to stick new pics in. Alas!! But here's a random question... do you look in other people's month by month (ie: 'December bubs') photos, or just the month that your child is in? I occasionally pop into the other months in the pics section but not a lot - though I don't look into the 'month' threads in any of the other sections. What do other people do? ------------- Andie |

| I look in the pictures sometimes and only the pregnancy months when there is a new month or people are due. I very rarely post in other peoples months (except photos) because I remember it used tor eally annoy me when people would lurk and post in our month lol |

I like the proud mummy pics thread idea... unsticky all of the monthly ones and make us a bit less segregated! ------------- |
