Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
You've probably read that Hongkong Post plans to cover up the royal insignia on the few remaining old postboxes around Hong Kong.
But they said they'd "preserve these iconic items"
Until recently they had a very different approach. In a 2102 SCMP article, the Hongkong Post spokeswoman, Mary Chung, said:
Report made by (Captain) G.A. McCaskie on 18th June, 1942.
Report on Conditions in Macau
Period spent in Macau:
1. April to June 1940 inclusive
2. November 1941 to May 1942.

I thought you might be interested to know that Google Earth has now applied 3D rendering over much of the city. It's not perfect but it's not bad either and may help give a little bit more life to some of the properties we have been looking at. For instance, this is a reasonable reproduction of Jennifer's 77 Repulse Bay Road.

Since the upgrade, the link to a photo's gallery hasn't worked as well as it did before the upgrade.
eg if you look at today's photo, http://gwulo.com/atom/22678, after the upgrade the Gallery: link would take you to page: http://gwulo.com/taxonomy/term/806
Not a photo in sight!
So this afternoon's job has been to change it to point to the gallery page instead: http://gwulo.com/image?field_gallery_tid=806

A few people have written in to say they've received the email alerting them a new comment has been added, but when they click the link in the email to read the comment they just see "Page not found".
This happens when, as Admin user, I've deleted the comment before you've had a chance to see it. There are two reasons this might happen:
1. Spam
The most common is that a spammer has posted a comment advertising something. I delete these as soon as I see them.
2. Duplicate comments
David, in the last while I have been receiving a series of comments directed to me, and each time I open the link I am informed the " Page not found..."
The latest one is 33207. Is there a reason for this?
