Cute flower smiley Dick. I was going to click "propose image for the database" but I refrained. I guess the moderators have enough work to do without having me test their patience. Hilarious!

Hurray! Group hug Congrats to y'all Hurray!

Wow reading through this thread gave me a couple of thoughts. Dave with all those acorns perhaps you could add another to the 'currency'. Someone, sorry can't remember who, up at the top of the thread said they could 'stuff a tree with all those acorns'. Perhaps you could add a tree to the currency. Say, after 500 or 1000 acorns you could earn a tree?

I do agree those mega-contributors need a special badge of some kind Thumbs up

Instead of a badge how about putting Sue and Vic's usernames in gold? That way they can't be tempted to hide their badges Whistling Whistling Rolling my eyes. Lovey dubby

Mornin', All...

I just came across this thread. I'm IMPRESSED! I knew Vic was working on the PDB quite a bit but had no idea how much! Congrats, Vic! That's a load up uploads! And 10,000 pics from Sue? Wowzers!

The database is growing like a garden in the summertime. Great going!
