Dirt you are a good researcher to be able to resurrect that old Gulf Fritillary multi-photo. And just look at that old bfly still looking fresh as ever. I wasn't able to name the photos because i took the Ruellia from the rancho of a friend. It was growing wild there so it never got into the database because i can't be certain of the species. Too bad there is not a "sp.?" option.

Robin, i am sorry to hear you deleted your participation in that thread. I thought at the time it was one of those "thinking out-loud" conversations where people are trying to figure out how something can work to the benefit of all members and not muck up the system in the process, so i'm sorry you felt badly about it. I think it was really a compliment to you that Dave and Horntoad and Sue were giving this subject consideration by voicing the pros, cons, and possibilities. I left the thread (i don't even remember where the thread is now) because the decision makers were involved and i had already participated by expressing my thoughts at the time.

Calif Sue...thanks for explaining about "main thumbnails", let me see if i have this right. There are "main thumbnails" for each d/b entry category(gallery), and the main thumbnail images are selected as such because they have the most thumbs? And these main thumbnails are the images that appear in the database? and later on the front page circulating as <<recent plant d/b entries>>? Is this correct? or am i getting warmer?
