A couple of people on the NG and Mailing Lists have offered to put lists
together but they never seamed to get off the ground, It needs feedback from
users (us) to keep such lists up to date.

I'm sure that CanalPlan could support such a list, just like it could
support details of recycling points. But as pointed out, it needs
feedback from people to keep the lists up to date and thats where it
all goes wrong (The Events facility on CanalPlan being a prime example
of that - the feature is there but people dont keep it upto date).

I better send in the details of the next CIBC rally then
Possibly like me, they have a problem accessing the events facility.
Bit like the "more" button on the pictures pages, the "submit an event to
canalplan" button also takes me nowhere.
See -
http://www2.mihalis.net/canal/cgi-bin/index.cgi?event=list
I have mentioned the "more" problem to Nick in the past but he reckons it is
ok with him
Apologies if the problem is just with me.

As soon as BW sees the list they will slap a big "NO SELF PUMPOUT" notice on
all of the Bog Stations listed! :-)

Indeed, it already does support them, and has the few that I know about
in there.

Indeed - I've not had event sent in for about 6 months now, and CBA to
go through the waterway mags and type them all in for myself.
I need to find some way to incentivise the supply of information.
People love to submit photos, because they are seen and credited to
people. It's much more rewarding to have your photo of Boggs Lock on
the home page than to be credited with providing 3 sanitary stations and
a tin can depot.
Perhaps a "collect points and get a free CD" approach?

Well I'm not sure it's you. But you do seem to have a remarkably picky
browser. The HTML at that point isn't very good, I'll agree, but I'm
not sure it's actually broken.
Interestingly, the syntax there and around the "More" button is the same
on both pages.
Tell you what - try the "submit events" one now - does it work any
better?

No, because it wasn't there when I posted mine.
I didn't check to see if you had enabled that feature before starting my
list at http://www.gwalter.co.uk/personal/ernest/RECYCLING%20LOCATIONS.htm
I will crib all your information on the assumption that you can use all
mine. I posted this on list to make sure everybody knows that both are now
going.

My indecision is final.
Two points on this thread :-
1. I have a list of S.P.O.Ps kindly sent to me by David Hymers, the person
who mentioned it in WW. Having included some I've used that he didn't list,
I am in the process of creating a self pumpout section on the Jannock
website and will then host and update the list.
2. It is amazing the number of BW sani points that state "no self pumpout"
when they have a card machine on the same site. It is obviously not a drain
capacity issue as we have always been led to believe.

Oh yes is was !
Your news reader was just playing catchup !
I recommend news.individual.net - the fastest on the planet.
When two people use it or other fast readers and "chat " it is possible to
get question and answer in the same recorded minute realtime.

First time I clicked add event button I got a warning from Spybot that a
program wanted to alter my registry. This was denied and now the add
button does nothing
I hate agreeing with Pete but this time I have to.
OS here is XP with IE6 with all updates & running spybot tea timer.

A chap could take offence at this statement but I will let you orf this time
!
Co- incidentally I am running the same - xpie6andspybot, but have not had
any warnings.
As Nick knows , I have no trouble with the "see and add photos " button -
so I still suspect the cause is in the programming.
I know nothing about the latter so cannot presume to advise.

No problem here with either the forthcoming events or the "more" on
the photos page. I'm using Opera 8.52 on Windows XP, with very strict
settings in Kerio Personal Firewall and with all scripting, animation,
pop-ups, plug-ins and other works of the devil turned off.

Doesn't work for me either.
looking at the source of the page suggests the button links to
http://www2.mihalis.net/canal/cgi-bin/liame.cgi?do=event
which is the add a link page - why the obsession with buttons, when a simple
<a href> link would do?

Ah, I'd sort of assumed, without checking, that you were the person who
had posted here before about doing this, and then emailed me their list.

I can't remember. I think it's a sort of feeling that "doing" stuff is
an action and should be driven by a button, while a link should just
take you to a place.

"liame" is, in fact, the "email" link - the spammers haven't found it
yet (a later enhancement will rename the script at each build).
I've now made it both a normal HTML link, and a bit like a button. This
may well be a bit of madness I will regret and abandon at some stage.
Thanks Nick - all three buttons now work fine here.
Welcomed also, is the picture location change facility.
Already used to shuffle one of yours a bit. (hopefully)
We look forward to the photo description change facility going live.
You are a busy boy !!

A very useful addition...
Take a trip down the Wendover Arm, stop by the Mill, and you can take
anything and everything recyclable or not to the Tring/New Mill
Household Waste site, which is on the Reservoirs side of New Mill
bridge. Just watch out for the traffic.
Seperate bins for everything from plastic bottles to garden waste via
engine oil, textiles and batteries.

Both work on Oregano, provided javascript enabled, but they look identical.
