Gerben,
It looks like the “Search this site” feature of your website is only on the homepage and search result pages. It would see greater use if it were on every page and if it were at the top instead of the bottom.

Having the search function on every page I’m afraid is not really an option. It would require a change to the layout of the pages. It has been a deliberate choice not to have the sidebar on the content pages. Moving it to the top might be a good idea though. I actually think I had it there at first….
Gerben,
Several times when I have attempted to post a reply, I have gotten a message that says, “ERROR: Captcha time expired.” It doesn’t seem to take very long for the reply function to expire. Perhaps, in your text under Leave a Reply”, you could caution users to save their text elsewhere before clicking Post Comment. If they do get the “ERROR: Captcha time expired.” message, they will need to click back on their browser and then press the Refresh key, F5. I imagine that many people may give up after getting “ERROR: Captcha time expired.” and you would never see their message.
Jeff
Jeff
That’s a serious one. I think you are absolutely right that visitors will just give up on a message like that. What I have done is that I have expanded the time interval from 5 to 15 minutes. I should think that solves the problem. But in case you run into it again please let me know.
BTW: Your replies are much appreciated. Like it says on the home page: this site can only be improved through your replies. Thanks again!
Gerben,
It has been a pleasure visiting StampWorldHistory recently and corresponding with you. I expect this to be my last posting, at least for the time being. I wish you well.
Best regards,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff. The pleasure is all mine, thank you for your many replies. I sure hope to see you again on SWH some time in the future.
There can’t be a better place to start looking for stamp history than stamp world history. I can’t imagine how much effort you might have put in making this happen. Great job Gerben. Thank you so much for all your effort in putting in the information in one place.
Note: I think you should remove the time out for the response. It might be the one reason there are not many responses.
Nandeesha
Thank you for you kind words. Yes, the effort has been significant over the years. But then, I very much enjoy developing the content and sharing it on StampWorldHistory has added a new and rewarding dimension to the project.
Thank you also for your comment on the time out issue, which is a captcha issue. Your are the second visitor to comment on this. The plugin does not allow disabling the timer function, but I did enlarge the timeframe. Apparently to no avail. Now I installed a new captcha altogether. The tests I did were fine, but they were fine for the previous plugin too. So, in case you should still run into problems, please let me know. This issue needs to be solved.
