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.
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:

Can you delect this photo for me/I can't do it from my end.

Hope the delect photo fixed this problem.

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.
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:

The only problem with the old website was there was an ton of old race photos that wasn't tagged!

[/quote]@billy-biscoe-arustyracer Ha! I hear ya man. I work with a bit of technology every day - and this new jernt continues to bumfuzzle me a lot of times. I've taken to editing things here & there posted by others to help 'em out as I can. I'm not necessarily committed to doing so long-term or in high volume. But will do what I can. Bottom line - glad to know you are still checking here. Perhaps we've peaked with content - not sure. But I value the on-line friendships I've made here & want to see them continue in whatever capacity folks choose to visit the site. What I DON'T want to happen - and I'm afraid has - is that folks fall away simply because they aren't comfortable navigating the basics here.

Update: Above photo is Flying 01 Bobby Allison(left) driving Jack Tant's new style Flying 11modified; #21 Sonny Hutchins(middle) driving for Wood Bros.modified; Flying 11 Ray Hendrick(right) driving Jack Tant's old style Flying 11modified. Martinsville Speedway, month/day/1967 100 laps Modified race winner Bobby Allison.
Martinsville Speedway race, car owner Jack Tant enter two Flying 11(old style modified/sportsman) with Ray Hendrick and (new style modified/sportsman) with Bobby Allison.
Ray Hendrick used the Flying 11#.
Bobby Allison's pitcrewman used the white chalk/white shoe polish paint #0 over the Flying 11# to make it Flying 01#. It wasn't an good paint job with the faded painted #0 paint job. There are photos that shows /look like two Flying 11 race cars are racing each other?
Bobby Allison in faded paint job #0/Flying 01(new style modified/sportsman) won the 1967 100 laps Modified race at Martinsville Speedway.
