Well done Disa just checking functionality. I got the Instagram and Facebook link worked well. Love how the pics ‘bloom. Mouse hover is a fantastic idea it’s a bit clunky on my I-AQC but I’ve figured a light touch gets the thing happening. If I hold too long it opens up the pic. It’s all really exciting though and I’m sure stuff will iron out as we keep using it. Love the laughing shots. Makes it all feel like an event. Again well done. I’ve sent a link around. Think a push us to get / ensure all members are Facebooked/ Instagram logged in for news.
