There ya go. The take it or leave it and we don't give a crap about making things better reply. You have lots a room for irrelevant material but no possibility of changing font sizes or to shorten up of other instructions to free up room for a message data, Oh but that makes for a great impression, like a hole in the head does!

Rip can you post a screenshot of what you get? The notices I get just have the beginning of the post in them.

 

[roger1]

The email notice doesn't bother me at all. I have to click on the link to read anyway. If I don't, I don't get any follow up notices for additional posts.

If I inadvertently hit " reply" or even start a reply & change my mind , where's the delete button ??

There isn't one. In the one instance that I did that, I just put "word" in the post and saved it. And you can also just bail out by changing forums or closing out your browser window/tab.

chasracer, I started to post one of the notifications I get but decided not to waste my time. I had a rant all written up that outlined how I felt about the whole thing but it falls on def ears! They don't care about the users and I don't give a Rats rear about the owners of this site or their vendors. They answered my complaint by saying they don't see a problem and NO it won't change. That reply shows me they don't care. They don't seem to be interested in discussion. They think it is fine and don't want to even discuss the problem. They remind me of Alfred E Newman with both index fingers planted firmly into the ear canal saying "We understand how important it is to listen". I am done talking. I am just so tired of the BS I don't care anymore. I am disgusted, Disheartened, and disillusioned.

We are excited to announce that we are live on our new forum platform!

What happened to the Project/Photo Journals. I can't find them. Are they just "gone"? I had 15 years of info about my projects there.

Oh yeah.....just wiped out.
I had a feeling they would be toast if the site was ever "upgraded" so I started a build thread.

Seems that the domain name was purchased to sell ad space , the content of the site & whether or not its user friendly is immaterial to this batch of owners . Perhaps we should find the site immaterial to us ?

@redsdad

I see some of your photos in the Gallery but it sure isn't 15 years worth.

It's all about the "benjamins" and since this is a site I just visit now and then I really don't give a rat's a++.

Example.

This was the link to a photo of my El Camino prior to the new platform:
www.hotrodders.com/gallery/data/3435/IMG_6017.JPG

Here's the link to that same photo on the present forum:
https://www.hotrodders.com/cdn-cgi/...920,fit=scale-down//media/img_6017.59441/full
The moment the platform changed, the link address to the photo changed. And thus, broke the links to every car photo I've ever posted to this forum and every other car forum too.

I submitted a ticket for this. They are working on resolving this issue.

It is still in the works, hope to have an update on this next week.

Jeff M

Any updates on this? I'm getting questions from forum members on why all my photos have disappeared.

My photos have been down for 2 months now. And, it's been a month since you said you'd have an update in a week.

People are nagging me about why the photos in my threads have disappeared and it makes me feel very bad that I can't do anything about it.

I'm really hoping you can get this resolved and please update me with what's happening with this issue.

Still waiting on this but be assured they are not lost. Hoping before the end of October.

Thanks for the prompt response and the positive news with your assurance. That alone makes me feel a lot better. I was beginning to wonder.

I finally found my photos...but they are all reduced to thumbnails now and have Hotrodder.com across the middle of them in big letters...so they are worthless now. What a bummer!

All my photos are there and accessible under media. I'm not having the problem that you are describing. The problem I am reporting is that the url addresses to the photos all changed to a new url when the new site went live. This caused previous thread links to the photos to go blank. This is the issue ticket that Jeff M. reported the status on this morning.

My photos now look like this....they are worthless now

 

[Henry Highrise]

What about it JeffM... can you fix it ?

I will ask the migration team and see what they can do.
