Thanks Richard, It is indeed a very good picture of Hayley, I have taken the liberty of repeating it here as the Il Divo thread is very long and takes a long while to load all the pictures.  Well done that man! Best Wishes Steve H |

Well done that man! Best Wishes Steve H Hi Steve, Yes it's a lovely picture (cheers Richard!), I like informal ones like that.  Richard's link takes me directly to the correct post and it's only the second photo down. It also avoids any 'permission' issues, about which some of the Divas (and some people in general) are sensitive... Cheers, Dave |

Hello Steve and Dave!  I've been putting links to individual posts on Il Divo's forum to avoid the 'permission' issue. Unfortunately I've just discovered a major problem. Some of the threads are now being edited very savagely, which changes the post numbers and makes the links out of date within days. I reckon over 100 posts have just been deleted from the Rotterdam thread for 5th May, only ten days after the concert, so none of my links on that thread work correctly any more. Probably some of the posts with pictures of Hayley are among those already deleted. What a way to run a forum!  I hope Caite is aware of this, because she is also a member of Il Divo's forum. Looking again, there's hardly anything left for the American and UK legs of Il Divo's world tour!  Richard  |

I am probably being totally mean and utterly unfair but could those superb references to Hayley in contrast, sometimes quite heavy contrast, with bad write-ups on Il Divo, even if NOT on their forum be anything to do with it?

Hello Peter! I don't think the deletion of posts has anything to do with Hayley or Il Divo, it is simply down to the forum management. When I looked through Il Divo's thread for the Wembley concert on 11th April, there were 27 pages of posts. Now there are only 7!!! We wouldn't run our forum that way, because we would soon lose all the members.  I don't know if the deleted posts have been archived somewhere on Il Divo's forum.  Best Wishes, Richard |

Hi Richard and Peter, Of course the same problem of broken links will occur if Il Divo forum members remove or move their photos we've posted directly in here - as many of them have done or have said they will do. I'm sure some will survive though - in fact I have downloaded some of the photos to my own PC and could repost those where I have permission as necessary. The main idea of these threads was to keep a record of what people said about Hayley on this tour and the photos and videos have been a bonus. The way we've done it, the written comments and at least some of the photos/videos (which we can index) will survive. Cheers, Dave |

Hi Richard and Dave, In order to legitimise my post, I have renamed the image and posted it to imageshack.us, I have sent a PM to the originator of the post on the IL Divo forum, who has agreed to me posting it on the HWI Forum. I have explained why we need to do this as the posts on the Il Divo forum are being deleted, probably to free space on their server.  Hope this gets me out of the big hole I dug for myself, in trying to help you out Richard!   Steve H |

I suspect the deletions were made to eliminate redundant pictures. Typically a fan will post several huge pics and then another will respond by quoting that entire post, pics and all, and then someone else does the same, and so on. They probably went through enough bandwith to feed a developing nation.

Hello Steve and Steve!  Steve H, you are completely off the hook, but I wasn't going to point a finger in the first place! Steve M, you are almost certainly correct. I've seen posts on one thread that were straight copies of posts on others, so duplication is quite a serious problem. The tour isn't over yet, so I'll continue to post links as appropriate so we can all see the pictures while they are there! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest Wishes, Richard |

Hello Steve and Steve! Steve H, you are completely off the hook, Is this the hook that Odyssey hasn't got? Cheers, Dave |
