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.

Jeff - I personally am not. But unsure if that's because of a system tweak to eliminate the 1 minute wait. Or if it's because of the different level of access you granted me. Better person to ask is someone like Dennis who is trying to tag pics but may not have the admin level of access.

I tagged Andy's photo with (5) tagged words:  WINSTON CUP  NASCAR  MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY  APRIL 27 1975  VIRGINIA 500

Only problem is the tag dates like the example: 4/27/75 or 4/27/1975 

When I typed the tagged word: NASCAR
I get a funny messaged like just typed a three letter or least word
But NASCAR tagged word would come up in box x NASCAR
If I click on x, I will dielect the NASCAR tag
If I click on NASCAR, it would go on to tagged NASCAR page with the tag cloud button is shown

What is a tag cloud?

Congrats to all of the 2017 NASCAR HALL OF FAME Inductees.

I Still think there should be at least 10 to be pick for the 2018 NASCAR HALL OF FAME.

NASCAR was involved in airplane racing, motorcycle racing, auto racing, drag racing from the east coast to the west coast of USA.

I always thought 14th place finisher, Arden Mounts of Gilbert, West Virginia had an interesting name. It would seem to me that when the P.A. announcer would call his name, you'd expect him to be getting on a horse.

The photo below of Arden Mounts posed with his #18 Hudson was taken at Charlotte Speedway on May 1, 1955.

Noticed that  Arden Mounts of Gilbert, West Virginia was selling Hudson Autos in Gilbert, West Virginia.    There's an  "Mounts Hudson Sales, Gilbert, West Virginia" advertisement painted on back fender of #18 Hudson race car.
