Bug

The main site menu will not drop down over a YouTube video.

Solution

To see the full menu again navigate to another page. Tabbed browsing in Firefox makes this easy. Go to the menu and click with the mouse wheel. This opens a new browser tab, and leaves your video page open in the original tab. How did we live without tabbed browsing?

I added over 100 avatars to the site resources. When you have registered:

1. Click on your profile name or image
2. Click on "personality"
3. Click on "Change Avatar" to see the provided Avatars
4. Select the check box next to an image and press "Submit"

That's it!
Or...

1. Go to the bottom and select another gallery from the drop down menu
2. or.... Click on "Upload Avatar" to upload your own image in jpg, gif or png format, 200 x 200 max and limited to about 50k in size.

You can change your Avatar at any time.

Enjoy!!

Activated the poll feature, which is a core module in Joomla. The first poll was titled: "How do you rate MSFSX adventures?"

The integration of the CMS with the forum has convinced me to do away with "Galleries and Videos" as a separate category. Most of the exhibits and articles have multi media these days.
