There is a "Photos and Videos" link, but the only drop down option is "Videos".

I never did see this thread until now. What did you find out, in the past half decade, Andy? :lol:

I remember PORTraits. Unfortunately, it was responsible for slowing down the loading of the FTLOP homepage and when we did the last website remodel, PORTraits, had too many issues at the time. It was when I got seriously involved on FB, with the FOR THE LOVE OF PORT, FB page. It has been greatly successful.

That said, I'd love to see PORTraits return. But I think Andy has more (or at least better) connections than me to get that done! [friends.gif]

I'm not sure I can remember what I did last month let alone 1/2 a decade ago :lol: But I do recall how badly it slowed the site down back then and unfortunately it had to go. Perhaps we can look at bringing it back but that will be after some other more important pressing issues are taken care of by the IT guru's.
