As a *ahem mumble* year old man - I don't like change. :D I seem to remember there being a discussion on this subject here many years back. A few changes were made, in fact. Not sure if the forum had any bearing on it. Took me ages to get used to though. :D But now it's all I know. It's so familiar.

As a web developer, I agree that a mobile version would be a great improvement, for a lot of reasons. And I'd be happy to help in any way I can to make this happen. :) Web trends change rapidly and new technologies are created regularly. A website only has a life of a couple of years, max, really, before it needs an overhaul. But then as mentioned somewhere above, there's probably not the resource for it! Or the need. It does what it needs to do. And if it doesn't, people have created their own websites to fulfil their needs. Which is fair.

I've not contributed for a while now - or not much, anyway - but still enjoy keeping myself up to date with the comings and goings. The forum itself goes through many changes of participants, for better or worse. It can get heated, yes, but then all online fora go through the same issues. It is a place for discussion. It should never become personal or insulting but there we go. We're all human. I think. ;)

Hello G, nice to read your post though I've only quoted the last paragraph. Nobody's mentioned 'sacred' wells (legends thereof) - would love to talk about them again from time to time. I sort of regret making reference to some of the tired old forum stuff that went on several years ago - I was probably not without fault myself. Its all water under the bridge - with hopefully a spring upstream.
All the best
tjj

PS: TMA works ok for me on my smart phone to just read, though I never use it to comment or post anything else.

Hi Goff, well I suppose this thread allows people to get things off their chests, I don't want change, you get used to a particular format. As for all the ups and downs on the forum, think that the problem is to do with not being face to face and words getting misunderstood. But your wit is missed and though I know wells are normally always of 'disputed antiquity' it is good to see them.
The one on the moor a few miles from here is definitely modern pagan and probably has good provenance as it is next to a roman road.......

Someone somewhere should bit your hand off (not literally, obvs). It does work fine on a phone, but for those of us with failing eyesight it's really a bit small to read without having to keep enlarging.

Come and posts some wells.

What would be genuinely useful for mobile would be easier integration of the kml into GE.
It can be done as is via a pc, but it's fairly painful.

I have a feeling that if there were a MA app, it running the xml in maps within the app is probably pie in the sky.
Would be good though.
