Let Me Know What Problems You're Having Posting
Using The Site

Billy -

Your friends / connections from the old site did not carry over to the new one. I've been trying to recall myself those I need to re-connect with on the new site. I've found a few of you - but still many more to go.

For the clubs, move your mouse over your icon in the top right corner of the screen (next to the magnifying glass). The 4th item down should be Groups You Follow (same as old site's Clubs). I found all of mine came across from the old site.

Let Me Know What Problems You're Having Posting
Using The Site

I drop by a few times a week, but I haven't posted much for a few reasons. 

One, Tim Leeming, Dave Fulton and I have posted a lot of stuff in the forum the past few years. I realize others have as well, but it seems we've posted the majority of the content in the forum. I'd like to see others add their memories, race recaps, and such so we can all enjoy them and add our comments, articles and pics to them.

Two, the offseason. In the dead of winter, I'm not particularly in race ready mode yet. I have some ideas in my mind about various posts I plan to make on my personal blog. I suppose I'll copy / share much of the content here.

Three, without trying to pile on, the site re-design is a barrier for me to add new content. In particular, the simplistic search feature is driving me crazy. I have found a way to search the Forum - which has helped me ID previous posts to edit, bump, etc.

But the inability to search members or photos through anything other than a basic search function that only returns 4 items per query is frustrating as hell.

And I don't plan to scroll page after page of members - especially when so many aren't recognizable with generic avatars:

Nor am I going to scroll through pages of photos - esp when we have something like 60,000 of them. Down the road, if I choose to add new posts, I'd like to embed pictures from the site and give credit to the RR members who uploaded them. But without the ability to efficiently and accurately search the photos, I'm not going to spend a bunch of time crawling through pages.

New Website Help - Questions, Answers, and Tips
Administrative

Is there a way to edit the category for a forum post after it's posted? I forgot to choose one with one of my posts & would like to now mark it as Racing History.

Found way to edit the post itself - but so far, haven't discovered way to edit the forum category.
