Re: Forum updated
Excellent question, Bea. If there is a limit, I'll expand it or eliminate it. As far as the size goes, I think that people should try to resize the photos to something reasonable. Anything much wider than 1000 px across is probably going to be lost on anyone, and will probably force the width of the...

Forum updated
Due to overwhelming demand ("overwhelming" being a relative term), I've updated the forum software. The default style is now mobile-friendly. The look is pretty spartan at this point, but I'll do my best to get some images up at the top.
Let me know if you find something doesn't work.

I don't see wet, but the high temperature for the day is supposed to be 51. I'm probably going to wait a couple weeks.

Re: Hingham Thursdays - May 4th
Yeah, it does look good. I'm 50-50 at this point. Lots depends on work. I have to put the kayak rack on the car and dig everything out. If I can't make it for the paddle, I might stop in for CMTPBIDA (Couldn't Make The Paddle But I'm Drinking Anyways).

Could you extrapolate on that a bit? If you're not a commuter boat user, are you prohibited from parking there? And what's the deal with the high school lot? Is that also prohibited? Or just likely to be full?
