Thank you Sooty, been renovating my house/garden for the last year or so and haven't had much time for visiting zoos / photography. Also found the new ZooChat format quite unappealing but will try to like it.
@Chlidonias I'd agree, although the inability to see more than 5 "recent comments" on photographs listed is - as has been mentioned elsewhere - a real drawback, as it makes back-and-forth discussion, with different people weighing in, almost impossible. In all other respects, the "new" look is great!
