    I have been lucky enough to have 2 of my pictures up on the home page as picture of the week and had some lovely comments too. Problem I have is when I see someone else's picture up there I can't just click on it to take to wherever it is posted on the forums and I've been unable to locate these posts to give some recognition.
    Anyway round this?

    Hi Andy

    Has this just started happening, or has it always been like this ?

    What browser / type of device are you viewing the forum on ?

    For my Win10 pc it works on firefox - my default browser, but not on Edge ( now a chrome clone). On my android tablet - samsung, works fine in Chrome and Firefox :facepalm:

    I will do some checking to see if there are settings we can change on the site, or the browser.

    Just checked - Microsoft Edge is up to date. Version 88.0.705.56 (Official build) (64-bit) and Google Chrome is up to date Version 88.0.4324.104 (Official Build) (64-bit).
    Will give it a try on my windows 7 laptop at some point.

    When I hoover over the picture the cursor changes to a finger but nothing happens when I click it.

    Had a look at the code, and it seems ok - but then it's all greek to me

    It works on IE11, so I'll need to try and find the feature they have added to cause the issue.

    Annoyingly it's the same code for the side menu's and they all work :facepalm:

    Yes it works that way, just mentioned it a couple of messages further up.
    I can live with that.
