Yeah, I need to change that button to "Select Photos..." and then pop up a message if the user tries to exit the page without hitting the "Start Upload"

I'll try to make it more clear. Sorry about that

Not sure if this is new, but it looks like the number of recent activity tabs is capped by one's screen size, not the selected number in Display Settings.

Also, not sure if you saw my comment on the "checklist changes" thread a couple weeks ago. I noticed recently that when viewing a user's 13er checklist (or modifying one's own), all the unofficially named peaks (peaks with their name in "quotation marks") are sorted to the bottom of the list instead of by elevation. I would assume this was intentional except that everything else is sorted only by elevation.

It's been that way for a while. It "clips" off the lower part of the recent activity list when viewed on a desktop screen. However, your display settings are still used if you are on a larger screen, or if you zoom out the browser magnification. At some point, I may put a vertical scroll bar on the list.

On smaller screens, including mobile, Recent Activity is pushed to the bottom of the page where your Display Settings are fully utilized.

I'll add to the thanks as well.
Bill, thanks for your dedication and allowing this show to carry on!

Did you check your spam/junk folder? Many of the email providers treat 14ers.com mail as spam because we use a hosting company they just assume has mostly spam. :(
I see messages going through but I'll do a little more testing

Yup, went to spam folder. I don't think that has happened before. Thanks Bill!

I'm guessing it's because I upgraded some core software and your provider saw 14ers.com as a bit different. I didn't change the sender email settings or anything but I did update the email software used by the OS on the server. You'll have to "whitelist" me again!

I also noticed GMAIL started rejecting all of the new registration activation emails for those registering with a gmail address. I had to make a change and resend them for the last 2 days.

Again, caused by the upgrade of the core email software
