I've just uploaded catching up report 14 of 15, the SWOONS 14th Members Open Day at Ilton, Somerset - 12 January 2020
Not much reaction or very few viewings on this forum except from a few hardy regulars (thanks chaps!), but I'll keep persevering! You can find my photo reports at:

I read and enjoy them all, Mick. Keep up the good work. I am hopeful that once you catch up there will be more, over time, as you attend exhibitions and members days.

The thing is that getting them all in a lump has led to over stimulation and there are only so many times one can comment 'stupendous'. Having said that, we don't want you to stop. Your photos have given me much enjoyment and inspiration, letting me get to many shows I wouldn't otherwise get to see. Thank you.
I think posting a direct link to the individual albums when you list them on here will help a lot.
For me I know that I am often put off by having to faf about finding the album from the front end page and that is only if I can recall the link to it.
So much so I do not bother most of the time.
However, if you posted a direct link to the actual album every time you put a notification on this forum I would probably look at every one!
Perhaps I am alown in this, and just want it easy, but I doubt it.
For example:

I am with you on this one Brian. I do look at the different years some time but finding them is another story.
The Time and effort that Mick puts into his photo album is commendable.

Thank you Brian, but you seem to have missed the point! You have posted a direct link to the Google Images album where the photos in a report are stored. This is linked from the blogsite.
The link I have posted does take you directly to the most recent report that I have uploaded, so if you clicked on the link that I included in my most recent announcement that I had just uploaded catch up report 14 of 15 for example, it takes you directly to the opening page of the blog, which starts off with the copyright notice and you just scroll down to the first report directly under that and there you have the introduction text (which is not included in the photo album that you have directly linked to) and the access link to that photo album.
If you then follow the simple instructions (RTFI!) posted at the start of every album, when you have finished with that one and may want to see an earlier report, then with one click (top left arrow on your monitor screen) it takes you back to the opening page of the album concerned and then one more click gets you back to the blog. You can see every one of the 124 reports that have been posted so far, since 2008 simply by either scrolling down until you get to the one you want, or by using the date bar on the right of the screen which is a bit more "faffy" as Google lists the dates of uploading in sequence rather than the date of the event which I start every posting with in its title if you start off where I have asked everyone to. I really don't understand why it is apparently difficult to go directly to the most recent report when all you have to do is press the short link that I have posted every time I upload a new one!
With regard to the responses from my most recent announcement where I commented that there hasn't been much take-up from users of this forum, it was not a criticism of lack of replies it was a statement that there hasn't been many viewings, where the stats on all forums tell me how many actual viewings each posting that has been made has had.
For example the Catching Up announcement that I made on 24 October in the past 2 weeks has attracted just 37 viewings from this forum, and 503 from NGRM-Online, which is not a gripe it is simply statistical fact, which naturally prompted me to comment that there has only been a low take-up on the Society forum, which makes me wonder if it is worth bothering to post the announcement of new uploads on this forum if only some 2% of the members of it have viewed the announcement let alone used the link, against some 25% of the members on NGRM!

Mick, I don't follow your links from either the 009 or NGRM forum. I see your posts in my feedly feed and go from there. How many do you have viewing which cannot be identifed as from one of the forums (fora?)

I can't answer that one John. I can tell from the Blogsite stats how many of each report has been viewed and can even get stats if I wanted to from the geographical area (by country) but not from where each viewer picked up the information to lead them to the site - that would be impossible! As an example, I can see that my last report before things got delayed was Beds & Bucks Group, Barton Le Clay 14 May 17 has had 1895 viewings, whilst the first report of the catch ups: Wilts Group, Pewsey 5 Aug 17 but not posted until 21 Sep this year, has had 123 viewings but I can't tell you who made these viewings.
Anyway, interesting question but not what I have commented on and tried to answer: The figures that have been quoted in my earlier posting are of the numbers of viewings made to the postings made on the forums that have contained the info about new uploads and the link to the new upload, not how many have actually then gone on to use the links or to visit my blogsite via other sources of information. For example I can see that you made the last posting on this topic at 0535 Z (GMT) this morning (Saturday evening for yourself!) and that the 37 viewings that the topic had received as at my posting yesterday has at the moment gone up to 49.
In reply to Ian Jopson, I do take the point about "over stimulation" as I took on the task to try to update 4 years worth of unfinished business and to try to get all 15 outstanding reports of my visits to events in that time caught up with as soon as possible and definitely before my next scheduled outing (4 December Colehill) so that once the Covid restrictions are behind us hopefully and things start to get back to some sort of normality, I won't be so far behind that I would have never caught up. Nearly got there now with just one more delayed report to do, so once that is done then the exhibition report section which we are on now, should be eased from my hijacking it every few days!
