Rowan,

So you're an Aussie ~ that explains everything! ;^) Must be nice not to be "numbered" by Big Brother (or, as in our case, by Big Uncle Sam).

There's no "deeper" access to the current set of photos, which isn't growing any larger at the moment. As a member, you have all the access anyone can get. I believe you've gotten confused by the discussion of possible alternatives ~ off-site access to other online photo "albums" of the types that have been developed fairly recently ~ which may or may not be proposed as a substitute for the original Mudcat archives that are becoming harder to administer.
