Agenda: 

Follow-up on Old Business

  • Sponsor Ads: Walt made sponsor block default display block on hikes and pages as requested for interim; where no sponsor exists, the field is blank and the photo displays (where there is one) unless the database for that entry is opened for editing, at which point the TC house ad automatically populates the field and the ad displays. This last also occurs on all new hike entries.
