The 'crawl the gallery' function doesn't work properly. I search for Tanzania and only one picture is displayed whereas I know there are more. (I uploaded them myself)
Andy, I hope this is not a very bad day for you! Because this is the second error I found today.
Keep up the great work!

My bad day too - I was getting quite confused again when using the "country search" option on the top right-hand-side looking for pictures. I tried quite a few countries with the same result (could be my browser AOL 8.0)???
The country profile, after selection, correctly shows (for example) "Member articles on Denmark" and a usefull button "more articles on Denmark", OK.
At "Top 5 pictures on Denmark" the option next to it is "upload your travel pictures" instead of "more pictures on Denmark" and yet it takes one to the articles again. Help!
Incidently, Denmark shows my worst written report ever under the Denmark start page - must go back and fix it up one day. Marie-ange's brilliant **** report is to be seen only after clicking "more articles", could we have the best first?

The "Crawl the Gallery" function currently displays only a blank screen, also yesterday.
The "country search" on the title bar does not show pictures for all countries, example my pictures for Congo, Swaziland and Lesotho. Tanzania seems to be working now. An African thing? I tried some other countries... cannt believe no members have pictures/reports from Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Gibralta, Vatican, Bermuda, Mauritius, Man(Isle of).... ???
Hope this can be fixed in January, staff please do have a relaxing festive season.

The "country search" and "crawl the gallery" options do not show all pictures, noticed that my Bahamas pictures do not show there, also only two of my Cayman Islands pictures. These both scuba-diving paradises, thought they would to attract web users, or are only selected pictures for viewing there?

If GLOBO is to become autonomous, the search features within the site are to be highlighted and improved. While the above problems still exist, I am so happy that at the "search" field in the main bar is working now. The second field after "country search" will find any word when entered there in reports and the forums, not yet pictures, thier titles or commentry text. This means atleast a great subject/theme search option. Particularly in the forums, rather than simply openning a new subject, one can first see if the topic has been discussed/solved before. I would like (dream) that the first field in the main bar chooses WHAT is to be searched for:
Search for Place
Search for Picture (same as the currently hidden "Crawl the Gallery" feature)
Search for Text
Search for Members
Search ALL
and the second field for entering a word, " or enter word here", not just "search"!
The search options within GLOBO are great but hidden within the sub-titles and could be improved.
Well, eventually if possible?
