What happened to me was I wrote a report on Angkor Wat's Temples under Siem Reap as this is the closest town to the ruins. I needed every single word allowance to fit in the info on the ruins instead of loading up info on hotels etc. I then wrote another report on the township itself & still needed all the space, (crikey I hope my reports don't put people to sleep for being too long, I never thought of that.) But back to the point as I type them before loading them it was only as I was uploading the new report under Siem Reap I was advised that I couldn't as I already had a report there. So, I loaded the 2nd report under Siem Reap in Phnom Penh. But it was just lucky the other town was on the site. I think that other members could find this if they are in a town or area that is overloaded with great sites. Is it possible if you didn't wish to allow 2 or more reports - same destination because of double ups or whatever maybe load sites such as Angkor Wat or Macchu Pichu as a separate report "town" or allow an override or something similar. Any ideas? Thanks, Kerrie --- Where to next?

You are quite a writer :-) I always love to go through your reports. About your question: Unfortunatelly this is not possible and there is a simple reason for this. The whole GLOBO page environment is based on the fact that each member only does have one report per city. Changing this would require a tramendous amount of work. For example: http://www.globosapiens.net/neon9nine-travelogue/Florence.html As you can see the first part of the link contains the member name which helps to identify the report. We did this to make it easy for spiders like google to crawl our pages and for people to have nice and short links to forward. I fear that I cant help you directly with your wish. In most cases you will be able to fit all into one report. Unfortuanetlly any advantage brings a disadvantage. So I guess we have to live with that downside in favour to have more traffic from google because of a better link structure.

But if we don't ask...we may never know. :-) I can't seem to not accumulate lots & lots of info and wanting to share it. Thanks again, Kerrie --- Where to next?
