A couple of folks have queried the variations between the page menus
on the site, stating that they find different versions at different
times, depending on where they are looking.

So that it may help to clarify the matter:- there are 92 folders on
the website, all but four are related to the site itself. Each folder
has a copy of the main menu page, and that page is referenced back to
the root menu for its icons but not the text on the page.

The two main menus that you see when you go to the site through the
normal links:

http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/index.htm

and then:

http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel/front.htm

are ALWAYS the most up to date, and it will always be that way. The
other 92 are updated approximately monthly, so they will always be
behind in terms of relevancy, but only by a small amount. It takes
about 40 minutes to write new menus through to the 92 folders, so we
only do it when we have had a few updates.

We have modified the menus so that each of the 92 will have a link to
the front page to click on, effectively taking you back to the
beginning again and out of the folder that you were looking in. This
we hope will help those who occasionally get 'lost' in the system
because the page they came into a folder through is not the same when
exiting that folder.

The link is just above the main icon menu block.

Given where we are now, we wouldn't necessarily have gone in the
direction we did with menuing etc when we started out. That's a bit of
an 'Irish'ism' but we are sure you will all understand what we mean!
There are too many pages to change to make any major changes now.

Hope this sorts it out for all concerned.
