Let Me Know What Problems You're Having Posting

Using The Site

[quote="Jeff Gilder"]

I completed another phase of the site upgrade, and some of your concerns are "helped". Still much to do.  @tmc-chase  you can now search member profiles. I'm working on a way to group "searchable" member galleries. I also expanded the number of items returned on the site-wide search. Hope that helps

@dave-fulton, the group display issues where images are "outside" the display areas appear to be related to very early posts....most of those problems appear on 9 year old posts. As I go through the groups and look at random posts, later input seems to be ok. This may be related to an earlier version of ning, but I'm really not 100% sure why some group content transferred perfectly and some did not. I still have MANY group edits to do...and I have no idea if the results of those edits will change this issue.

Jeff,

I noticed the old "GROUP" pages has chopped off Photos and comments.

The photos and comments is there.  They're being squeezed by the larger size (new?/old?) members' avartar photos that is being located next to the "GROUP" photo and comment.

Could you make the members' avartar photo(smaller) or moved the "GROUP" photo and comment under the members' avartar photo.

I'll take a look. I'm not sure I can affect any of that. There was something about the older group's formatting that didn't work with the new site.

Thanks, Dennis

Dennis,

I can't show the page, but I did add the verbiage to the upload screen. Thanks for the feedback.

Need a Translator? I can help... maybe

Current NASCAR

I'm all for trying to "right the ship" as Bopper called it. Still waiting to see if ANYONE in NASCAR is capable of understanding what went wrong. I do hope they figure out a way to turn things around before they completely hit the bottom. I don't think anyone wants to see something that has been this good go down.  I know they have really deep pockets, just don't know how deep they're willing to go....and how much time they have to turn things around.

Sad news. Thanks for posting, Dave.

Who is the greatest race car driver of all time?

General

Ok, I'll go read the article, but I'd like to see this discussed right here by our members. This is where the experts hang out. To begin with....what is the criteria? Is it personal opinion? Reputation? Record?

Anybody?

So, this should get some conversation. Is it Jimmy Johnson?

Uploaded Photos MUST Include a Description

Using The Site

Hey folks,

All photo uploads have to be approved by an admin before they are posted. They will remain in a "pending" stage until approved. They will NOT be approved unless they include a description. The reason for this....there's no way to find them in search without a description and / or tags. They become lost in the tens of thousands of photos here with out a description.

The description should include (when possible) the driver's name, year or era, car type, car number, race track, series, and / or anything that would help someone find this photo in a search.

By the way...this is not a new rule. We've required this action for the past several years.

Thank you for understanding.

Search feature for photos

Administrative

Chase,

We added this (what we're able to do for now) a couple of weeks ago. I put a notification in one of the forum posts. I had to set it up via the "Gallery" feature....the only way I have to do it for now. Click "Galleries" under the "Photos" tab.
