Beth,

       Thanks for your help but that website  is a visitors website for W.S.M. I'm trying to upload pictures to the Pictures of England website, I have uploaded to the W.S.M. page before but when I enter the town name now, the closest I get from the "drop-down" menu is Weston Subedge in Gloucestershire !!

Paul,

      I really don't know what's going on here, I've just tried again to upload a photo into my Weston Super Mare collection  and I still can't get W.S.M. to come up on the drop-down menu (with or without hyphens) BUT when I clicked the attraction button I get W.S.M. Golf Club and Caravan Club, so to prove a point (not quite sure what) I've tried to upload to that and it worked, obviously problem now is that it's in the wrong section. Still can't understand why I can't get W.S.M. in the town drop-down menu on photo upload, thought it might be a I.E. 8 "thing" as that's what I'm using but that doesn't explain why every other town begining with a "W" does appear.

 

                                         Yours Faithfully................Confused.

Have you tried Firefox David, if not give it a go just to see what happens (It's faster anyway). I know C&S had the same problem last week.

Hello again Ron,

                     I've tried again using Safari (as I already have it on my PC), I think I've realised where I'm going wrong, it's listed under Weston, Somerset not Weston Super Mare, Somerset (doh), can't understand why I didn't have this problem before ? ?

Hi David----in the search box, weston super mare should do the trick, but if still having problems, the page is here http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Somerset/Weston-super-Mare

Alternatively, type in Clevedon, and on it's page, go to All Towns in Somerset, and Weston is on the bottom of page 3 of town listings.In days of old, you used to have to put the hypen in, which gave me a bit of grief not only with Weston, but also Bexhill-on-Sea, and Dorchester-on-Thames, which thankfully has now stopped.
