Re: Ghostbombers updates
 

Great Work Nick!

Did the the document specifically list the G-8s listed as MW50?

Re: Ghostbombers updates
 

Yes, it did.

Re: Ghostbombers updates
 

Nick,

Many thanks for sharing this information with us - it is most appreciated.

A suggestion: Would you consider putting an "Updates" button on your main page? This would greatly facilitate finding and accessing your current and previous updates.

Many thanks,

David

Re: Ghostbombers updates
 

Hi David,
You mean you didn't find the one that's been there all along?
OK, the secrets of Ghostbombers navigation are:

1. The "metal plates" contain hyperlinks (except when used as page headers in articles).
2. Clicking on the "ghost" emblem at the top left of a page always takes you to the home page.
3. The "Made by ... Modified ..." plate at lower left on the home page: click on my name you get a list of everything I've had published, click on the date and you get this year's "updates" (once there, you can find links to all previous updates).
4. "Back/Top/Next" are self-explanatory, I hope.

Re: Ghostbombers updates
 

Thanks Nick. I appreciate the clarifications.

No, I never scrolled over the "Made by.." bar hence it didn't register as being live. I just relied on direct links.

As per my avatar: "D'oh"!

Cheers,

David
