I know a return to the previous platform isn't possible. But I'm hoping some tweaks can be made to this new one to make it more user friendly. Certainly don't want to lose folks OR their contributions to the site - past and future.
Chase, Don't know if this is the correct place to respond but I still check in often. Since we started vintage racing I don't have the time to spend on the computer and I have had a difficult time with the new format so I don't post much anymore. Still like looking in.

I visit this everyday but have found since the change to the new format it is very cumbersome to post, search for old posts or photos groups etc. Navigation on this new format is about as friendly as an English Garden Maze & I believe this is killing (or killed) this site to be blunt. Old members are not going to try to figure out how to navigate this current & have left. It's much easier for them to post in a "Facebook" group. This is such a shame for this was at one time the premier stock racing site on the planet. Please go back to the "old" format or a something much friendlier.
The old website :
#1. More race fan friendly using the old website!
#2. Had less bells and whistles to kept track of, less confusing on how to posting racing photos and information!
I still don't know what these small symbols in the above grey box are used for?
#3. You used the old website's search box, you will get what you're looking for!
The new website's search box will get you everything but what you're looking for!
#4. I could used my old XP computer on the old website?
I'm using android tablets on the new website, because my old XP computer don't have enough memory for the new website?
#5. I posted photos and racing information on the new website and get the following:

Dennis Garrett @dennis-garrett 2 months ago Jeff or Chase, I found out that you can't post an original large photo to the image galleries Post Your Comment. I messed the this post up, because large original comment photo + "You May Also Like" section don't work? Example: http://racersreunion.com/upimg/image/upimg_file/407/original Can you delect this photo for me/I can't do it from my end. http://racersreunion.com/upimg/image/upimg_file/407/original Hope the delect photo fixed this problem.
The only problem with the old website was there was an ton of old race photos that wasn't tagged!

I have wondered the exact same thing, Chase. Unfortunately, the current site format just doesn't seem to lend itself to coversation and comments. I guess Facebook groups and Twitter have claimed the many former contributers. Don't have an answer, but sure do miss the robust conversations, photos and racing history lessons that once adorned this abode.

Curious if anyone other than @dave-fulton or myself visits this site anymore. Is it worth our bumping previous posts or contributing new ones? Re-tagging and liking many photos? A ton of new "members" have joined in recent weeks. Have seen no contributions from them. Are they real or bots? A real shame to watch what was become what is.
[/quote]@dennis-garrett I find that 800 pixels is about as wide a pic as this new place will handle. The old site used to auto-adjust a pic to the max width. This new place sends it off screen & only shows a partial pic. Not the end of the world though. If you can adjust pics to 800 px wide by whatever tall, you SHOULD be in better shape. But yes, meanwhile, it's frustrating to upload a pic only to find half of it on screen.
