Well done with the alphabetical order.  I trust you used a computer programme to do that.
I won't comment on the absence of a bike in Broken Hill. I'll let Williamson do that.    :nahnah

I'm out of the game for a while- in NZ collecting foreign words and can't access my collection.

A simple cut 'n' paste and sort in Excel would suffice.

That's weird!  I can see them.  I've switched to Imgur which is much easier and faster than Photoshop.

I'm using Chrome.  I tested five other linking scripts that Imgur offers, and this is the only one that works.

Anyone else got feedback please?

My browser is Chrome, and I can't see nay photos on Biggles post either, or any indication that photos have been attached.  It's just showing the text.

Ah- looked in Imgur under "Settings" and there's an email verification step that has to be completed.  That's done and hopefully all is good again.
Let me know if that's fixed it.

Not for me either, but I  can see Biggles's photos.  I switched to the hosting site which is hosted but one of the members here.  It is easy to use.
