Steve,
I agree, we should have more discussion about the photos as they arrive
during the month: the problem is that the submission is un-named, so the
author cannot announce the posting etc. I always felt that was the
weakness with FOM2, but once we had started, it was not easy to alter the
flow.

How would you suggest getting this started?

Cheers
