Is this forum up and running and still active?

Phil:

It seems to be OK.

No Gallery

[pbrown]

The Forum is still alive. I'd like to see more activity. I need to do some site cleanup and all an SSL cert. I'm also having issues with GoDaddy hosting. This is why the date sometime shows the past.

The gallery is gone. The company that produced that product is no longer updating and supporting it.

Does the current platform have any gallery capabilities, Patrick?

There is an album feature. Go to Albums under the Community menu.

There is also a way to create photo specific forums. I've not looked into this yet.

[Slither]

What ever happened to the home page? I cannot seem to find it anymore... clicking on the logo takes me to the forum list.

[pgermond]

I noticed that as well. It's a shell of what it use to be. The Gallery was extremely helpful when trying to show examples or explain some thing. A picture is worth a thousand words...........

I don't see anyone else chiming in here, Paul. Just you and me. Maybe no one is building anymore, just buying rollers and completed cars.

Look at the 'Community' menu above. There is an album link for sharing photos. The old photo gallery system no longer supported. The vendor just shut down without notice.

The new forum software version has a CMS (Content Management System) built in. I didn't install it. We would need someone writing content for it. I don't see that happening with the low traffic we have. I can install it if someone wants to volunteer to write content.

[pgermond]

Thanks, Patrick I (we) appreciate all you have done.

[Slither]

Well, Phil, it just so happens that, after all these years, I am starting my build! The car is back at Unique and we are starting the process. Patrick will be setting up a forum for me, shortly. I only have a few photos so far, but hope to have more before too long. It will be a tribute to Lew Florence, Jamie Bargelt, and CSX2459...

Perhaps there is an alternative photo gallery product available. If so, is the old content recoverable? Do you still have the old content? Oh, and what about the homepage, Patrick?

[pbrown]

There is this gallery. https://coppermine-gallery.net/ I don't know anything about it. I have all the old photos and can probably import them. I'll do some research.

Here is what the CMS system looks like.

This is the same forum software but with CMS and Blogs. The front page is the CMS system. We would need some content. This would be a good place to display photos, video, featured builds etc. I'll build whatever you guys want as long and you create content.

WOW! That is exciting. Look forward to following your progress.

[Slither]

Please bring back the homepage when you get a chance, Patrick.

I'll work on that.

Awesome! Thank you, Patrick.
