hi everyone. I am worried about the number of pictures appearing beside peoples posts in the discussion threads, especially the one that I've only noticed today about "worth a lay in my book" or something like that. (I disagree but that's a different matter)

My concern is that most people are probably (like me) supposed to be working, and pictures like that on our screen are dangerous. Sorry sounds boring I know but we need to be realistic.

I've only been on here a week or so, but when I first joined there were very few pictures, so it was easy to have the screen up without danger of catching anyones attention (it looked like any other forum)

If we continue to have these sort of pictures (the subtle smaller ones are ok I guess) appearing on the pages I suspect a lot more of us will have this page quarantined by our IT depts, and some will be too afraid to use the page. This would be a real shame, as I am really enjoying the discussions, tipping leagues etc.

I don't wanna go back to you know where xcry

Mods any thoughts?

I hadn't thought about this, tbh, but I agree with Dunfie as I think I'm in a similar position.

Also, despite a lack of agressive mods a la 606, we have managed to keep the language fairly clean, and these pics are about the only think that stop this site being "family friendly". Not sure it needs to be, but maybe worth considering?

Which threads are they in and I will take a look.

Is it just dodgy photos or photos in general.

I assume this is aimed at redandwhite, i'd be surprised if mine is a problem. Unless we have a few male chauvinist pigs who have a problem with lady golfers

yes sorry I didn't know the posh name :?

No problem with sweetkiln's phot, nor as I said before the small photos, eg bardoney's cartoon, emma spencer, fallon & Dylan Thomas etc...
If I was at home I wouldn't have a problem with Red&White's picture either, just concerned about how many of us are in a work environment.

Also, Jack's new av may not be appropriate if anyone is checking the forum whilst eating. xshock
