Big photo with nice horizontal scrollie thumbnails. A most significant improvement.

Well met layout people.

I usually avoided the photo galleries because of the awkward navigation. The new layout is great!!

I concur, the new layout is a big improvement, particularly the photo presentation.

Really should still put some photos interspersed with the text.  Otherwise it looks like a wall of text, need the photos to break up the monotony of text IMO.

Maybe just a few here and there?

Do you need me to send you my email via PM? I was pretty sure you had it...   ;)

We're still tinkering with layouts, but yes, we are aiming to have some elements to break up the blocks of text visually, more related articles and callouts, etc.

Please do, it will look and read much better.  And like the others above, well done on the new photo access, much better than before.
