Permanent vs New images

Just a small idea to put to the mods and Caedes....would it be possible to have some sort of border around the works within the authors gallery which have been moved to the permanent galleries, so that we know at a glance, rather than having to scroll through them all?

It could be problematic I guess, but doable surely? This is a personal thing, but I would be interested to know other members feedback on this.

Just hover your mouse over the gallery thumbnail and look at the hover text. It'll tell you whether the image is in a New Images gallery or not :-)

Hmmm....you still have to mouse over all your images though.....and when you have more than a page on 36 to a page...it'll take a while....hence the suggestion.

I think it would be more practical to show the name of the gallery in caedes control. This would also make more sense to me in that you could veiw all the images on one screen, rather than having to go through all the pages of your gallery.

A nice new addition to the control page, thanks. Another idea:
Would it be possible to add a rating column to the Caedes Control page?

Currently, the only way to find out the raw vote rating is to trawl through the Image Rankings. A column on the Control page would be much easier.
Cheers!

I love real ale, we have quite a good festival each year here in Derby (UK) where there are (too) many beers to sample from (hic!). They mostly have colourful names.

Speaking of odd names, I came across some nice wine once called 'Fat Bastard Chardonnay'.

Mmmmm... Abita. Yes Abita's my choice when I'm buying, but my brother brews a meeeeeean set of beers which includes one which is far and away my favorite. "Pee-paw's Pale Ale", "Buddy's Wheat", and a yet-unnamed Stout are beers he brews (and kegs) with a remarkably consistent taste. The local brew-club sneers at his cloudy brews, but the taste is to die for.

BTW- "Blackened Voodoo Lager" is my brew of choice. I have wanted to try Arrogant Bastard Ale for several years now, but I have never ran across it here in Florida. I know I can order some online to be shipped, but it would take me years to drink the minimum amount they will ship. :c/

I think.Belgian Beers are the best.We brew the common pils, like Pierre says, the most excellent stronger beers like Trappist as Chimey,Orval, Grimbergen, Duvel, Leffe, Hoegaarden, which are know all over Europe and the world. What can Germans put against our beers, a simple pils excellent but common. This is my idea.

Pierre: Is Franziskaner considered a trappist brew? I know there is a monk on the label.

No!!!
To be a Trappist beer, the bottle must have a little golden hexagon with "Authentic Trappist Product". There are only 7 Trappist beers. 6 in Belgium (Westmalle, Chimay, Westvleteren, Rochefort, Orval and Achel) and 1 in the Netherlands (Koningshoeven).
More info here :-)
You have no chance to find them in the USA. But you can choose some belgian abbey beers like the wellknown Leffe, Duvel, Grimbergen, Maredsous, Hoegaerden,...). They are very good too (and very strong...) :-)

Not that you and Joost are biased in any way towards the beer from your home country
:-P I still don't accept that your beer is better than Germany's. You'll just have to send me some for a taste test hee hee :)
We don't really get too much of the realllly good beer here in the U.S. (at least not where I am) because everything has to be imported and is really expensive. Although there are some good microbreweries in the southeast (like the ones in Gatlinburg Tennessee). They make a reallly nice ale called Black Bear.

In consideration to all the minors here on board, could we possibly redirect this thread back to Andrews original question (yeah, remember that one?)? ;-)

I really like the idea of having some type of mark to distinguish the images from the New Images gallery apart from the images from the regular galleries. Perhaps a corner of the s could be faded and written on or something.
