Let Me Know What Problems You're Having Posting

Really sorry you guys are struggling. Please understand, the old site was no longer supported and was going to be lost totally. There are not many options out there to house this kind of content.....affordably....for me. One great option (that I absolutely loved)would have cost over $25,000 per year on the low end, and possibly as much at $5000 per month. If any of you would like to pick up that tab, we'll gladly head that direction.  And although all of your have (and I'm very grateful for it) spent a lot of time adding content, so have I, and I have funded almost 100% of it. I'm very sorry, Dave that you feel is is a wasteland. I do not! I felt, and continue to feel it was worth the effort and $$ to salvage everything we could. My option was to just let it disappear completely. There's over 100 hours of work left to do to complete the effort....much of it is in the "Groups" area. I will get the effort completed as spare time allows.

To me, this one is much easier for some things....and just different for others. And, I realize "different" = difficulty.  I was used to the photo gallery and comment wall on ning, and this was hard to get used to at first. But, I'm getting my arms around it little by little.  The forum posting on ning was much easier...I do agree. I liked that format better myself.

Okay.  Apologies.  I didn't realize there were still some missing.  Have the jamroom folks figured out if the original Album dates can be attached to our photos.   I'm not sure that's even possible. For example, my albums were by date and subject/event.

All that album meta data from ning could not be transferred.

This was a very active forum back before the site change. I knew it would be tough making this change after 9 years on the old platform. But that platform was no longer supported and badly out of date, insecure, and not mobile responsive. So, here we are.

What can I do to help you become more comfortable with the new site? I'm know the readers are still reading, I see a big jump in traffic analytics... but all you active posters haven't been posting a lot of content.

I hear some of you say "It's not user friendly" yet I see (from the analytics) more of our content being viewed than ever before...so that argument doesn't really hold water in that regard.

I know it's different, and different is hard to accept. I'm here to help. Let me know where you're having trouble, and I'll help get you over the hurdle.

I found 4 pages of your photo albums.  They are there.  The the trick is getting back to them once created.  Go here:  http://racersreunion.com/woody-delbridge/photoalbum

If you go to your page you want to click on the word "MORE".  You will see a drop down menu.  Scroll down a little and you will see PHOTO ALBUM.  Click on it.

Devin,

There 23 there, but he is missing 12 that he created...and they later vanished. I've looked through out the site...hoping to find them "orphaned", but can't find them. I have the folks at JamRoom investigating.

Thanks Woody. I haven't been able to figure out what's happening. Good Idea not to add any more yet. I'll have some more time to dig into this this weekend. Sorry for the problem.

Really weird, I thought I would find them somewhere. Still working on this, Woody.

BB, you don't have to go to your page to comment, only to start a new post topic. If it is an existing topic, you can comment from the topic.
