River Cottage

Jake, that is not at all what I mean. I mean get rid of the bright red eye-catching 'new posts' highlighted in the main menu when there are no new posts that I have not already looked at and rejected as of no interest. It is a bit like sitting beside a ringing phone - demanding attention.

I would like to have a mechanism that allows me to mark that forum as 'read' so the red highlight goes away until someone updates one of those threads again. Sorting through 50 updates does not address that.

And deleting the updates does not make the red go away.

Jake - I have mastered the art of loading pics, and even run them through Photoshop to make sure they are a small file size, but some large pic files crash the site on my elderly pooter, as, like me, it has very little memory available...so some guide lines as to size would be useful.  Ta.

If you load the pic using the little green tree thingy. Once loaded if you click on appearance you will notice two boxes with number's (size of pic) divide the number by 2 or 4 depending on how small you want the pic. Do this to both sets of numbers. In fact once you do the left hand side the right hand number often alters it self automatically. Hope this helps
