"None of our test panel had this issue. I will add a few words to the text immediately above the slide to point out the forward-backward controls." Well obviously it's just me then. According to your earlier instructions, I was meant to click near the middle of the photo, which is what I did. Your revised wording makes your intended meaning much clearer, though I readily grant that nobody else these days is likely to notice the difference. Having now spent some more time poking around on the EA site, I can report that I continue to find it a little hard to engage with - diffuse is the word that comes to mind - but can easily accept that others don't have this problem. No need to respond; I won't bother you again on this point.

P.S. I'm wondering if there's a way to reverse, perhaps at my end, the order of these posts, such that the most recent one comes first rather than last?

Concerning David's response to my suggestion for multiple entry points to the website At risk of coming across as hopelessly obtuse (which certainly I am in some ways), your site is still opaque to me even now. For starters, it wasn't at all clear to me that the nine points you listed in your response need to be accessed by clicking on the dots below the first image that presents itself on the site. Instead, I clicked, as I thought I was meant to do, near the middle of the image itself, which brought me to a photo of the Merritt flood. Then I clicked near the middle of that image, which brought me nowhere. Once I discovered that I was really meant to click on the unlabelled circles, things got a little better, but not by much, as I was still looking for the slideshow you mentioned but couldn't find it - unless by slideshow you mean the items accessed by clicking on the dots? Anyhow, I think the problem for me is that before I'm willing to start a journey, I want a road map that shows me where I'm headed or, better, that suggests places I might want to visit. Below I suggest four entry points (A thru E) based on the nine themes you listed (plus 1 additional one), followed by an index showing how the latter might be grouped within the former - not very evenly, unfortunately, but there you go. Obviously the names I've chosen for these entry points don't matter, in fact it might be good to use the word "Paradigm" somewhere here, as that seems to be the buzzword these days. What matters, at least for me, is that this fabulous website achieves its goal opens with a simple road map.

My thought, helpful or otherwise, is that the EA website could benefit from a splash page that provides a small number of entry points, each designed to engage the needs/interest of people at a particular level of understanding of the broader issues and/or commitment to work for change. As an example, maybe have a look at my https://1000clearcuts.ca/ website in which I briefly summarize the problem and then provide six points of entry. While I'm sure the format could be improved (hard to get constructive criticism!), this at least gives you an idea of what I'm driving at. I'll leave it at that for now, pending discussion.

A breathtaking indictment of a multi-decadal, BC-government-led, get-rich-quick Ponzi scheme that, as is the custom, has jeopardized all of our tomorrows for the short-term monetary enrichment of the few. Nor could the considerable part played in all this by Gordon Campbell, Christy Clark and, latterly, John Horgan be made clearer - a point that should not be forgotten by the countless British Columbians now doomed in coming years to lose their homes to fire, flood, insolvency or, more clearly seen, wretched political leadership in time of climate change.
