| Thanks admin for the interest in making photos easier to post. I have a similar thread running on coffee time. Myself and others have said that we are unable to post pics now. |

So far we have
1) New photo upload facility
2) Conformation setion - you want a forum and or section on the site for perm reference ? - Also maybe we need to have a set of " standard " conformation photos - anyone got those ??
Keep those ideas coming

A section for veterinary problems maybe? The thread about LV and photosensitivity was a really useful thread and it would be nice to have all the veterinary threads gathered together.
The conformation one could have a sticky post with reference photos/diagrams of desired conformation/the breed standard. Maybe people would like to submit new threads with photos of their horses for conformation assessment? Photos/diagrams showing bad conformation faults are also really helpful for people just starting to learn about it. Seeing an extreme version of the fault gets your eye in for spotting it in a lesser degree. I don't know if anyone used to read the Fuglyhorseoftheday blog? I learnt a lot about conformation reading that (sadly no longer) blog. |

So far we have;-
1) Photos - easy upload
2) Conformation
3) Vet pages - can be linked into the horse health section on the main site etc - expanded if people contribute
Good start, lets keep this rolling

I do feel guilty as I tend to lurk nowadays, I'm not very knowledgeable about breeding or showing. I just know I love my mare and to me she's so beautiful but we have had quiet summer (which is good) but unfortunately haven't any thing interesting to contribute!
But I still love AL and I always find it very interesting and informative. |

Sharea, I am sure you are far more knowledgeable than you think and I am sure you have lots of interesting thing to contribute. We don't all need to be blinded dy science or have an in depth knowledge of breeding and bloodlines to have something intelligent to say and we all started from a position of relative ignorance about in depth topics.
It didn't take a lot of intelligence to ask if anyone else was picking nettles and learned that my horses were fussy beggars for not eating the bindweed!!!!
A different slant on everday topics always welcome.

I agree with Ruthie, I'm more of a lurker now after some of the comments (not to me) that were made in posts some time ago and the site got quite clicky, so I feel it safer to keep quiet rather than post, but I agree that it is a great site and a lot of knowledge can be learnt from others, and if you have a problem (which many of us do at some time or another) you get a lot of helpful advice
so keep up the good work admin and I look forward to the changes

I will try to post and not just lurk 
One thing I've not quite got to grips with here is finding unread posts, is there any quick way I can just see new posts when I log on? |

I so miss topics like Egbert used to post! Have re read them many times! I too love the picture threads.... Am so easily pleased! Could look at photos of beautiful Arabians all day!
Yes it does get cliquey sometimes but unless your a fan of whatever is being posted .... Be it about showing, crabbets, whatever I guess , unless that's your bag then it may feel that way????
A lot of stuff in the past on here and Facebook is rammed down your throats but I guess we all have a choice whether we read it or not. I know on some forums you can actually block certain users so that you don't have to read their posts..... Maybe that would stop some of the sniping?
Ramble over.... Just my thoughts |

| I used to like the 'who's this horse' quiz's - not that I was any good at getting the answers, but I enjoyed the opportunity to see different horses/types etc and hearing a bit about their history and achievements etc |
