In trying to see what we can do to make our site more 'feature-rich' whilst not making it 'bandwidth-poor', I'd like to get some feedback on an idea I've had.....
Please click on the link below, and let me know what you think. I know what it should take you to, and so kudos to the first person to post the association to a well known and well-loved 80s classic dear to my heart....
If this pretty simple thing works, we may look at incorporating it into our Review pages where appropriate.
Thanks Paul

Friend of mine only got half an image too - then reloaded it and got the whole thing.
And the link to the movie is....? (clue: zoom in a little.....)

That is the location of the Hollywood Bowl and was one of the locations featured in the movie Some Kind of Wonderful. I like the feature and say keep it if it doesn't bog down the site.

Ka-ching! Well done, Booger.
For information, what we've done today (well, I suggested it, Nick re-coded the site!) is to add a link to a Google Map for every review we have where we are told of a FEATURE LOCATION (anyone who has ever submitted a review will know what that means).
Check out the reviews for Some Kind Of Wonderful or The Breakfast Club to see what I mean.
