No problems. I'll try and come up with some options. I might have a few questions about imagery but I'll need to have a think first. > 3) We need some CSS lovin' to pretty-up some accordion panels.

Sure, I'll let you know if I get stuck. Which branch is best for making these changes? > 4) This is a simple opinion question.

This makes sense for add/edit/delete actions. I'm not sure with this type of link. It might be the case that we want to show these links to remind people they can take the action or even people who are not users of LP to sign up to get these notifications. I guess that probably we just want to hide these links for consistency though. Thoughts from anyone else? > Thank you! > > Gary
