Gallery upgrade challenges
The good news is that Roncar figured out how to get our Gallery program updated!!! It is not a straight forward programing upgrade and required a lot of manipulation of the system. It is something we have been struggling with for about a year now and once we get through the bugs it should provide a good stable system for several years to come I hope.
The bad news is that the Gallery 3 album directories changed their URL structure and they no longer talk to many of our older threads. So in many of the older posts you will see the word "image" where there should be a picture. There was an import module as part of the program upgrade but it only fixed so much, the rest is on us.
There is no "easy button" for this. Each one of these will require finding the appropriate album (only 1300 some to go through) and picture (about 22,000 of those) and a manual edit of the URL in the post to fix. Some of the albums are labeled and some are not. So like Octane's for example, he has his main album labeled but the 40 odd sub albums he has mostly are not labeled just numbered. Same with a lot of my stuff. So it is going to take time to sort through.
Right now Octanes forum and the "How To" forum are the most apparent as they are the older posts that get referred to the most. So that is where we will be concentrating our efforts to start fixing this.
The others will take time to discover and even longer to find the appropriate albums and fix the links. This is not going to be an overnight thing so we appreciate your patience.
If anyone out there stumbles onto threads with broken links you can throw up a post here in this thread with the URL and we will get to it as we can. None of the information has been lost things are just not tied together properly.
Also any Members interested in having an album in the Gallery give me a couple weeks to get this under control before I get started on adding more to the Gallery. I think so far I only have one request I am temporarily "ignoring"
My apologies for the inconvenience but this was a necessary evil to ensure the system stays reliable for the future.

Re: Gallery upgrade challenges
Has the BOTM photo on the home page fallen victim to the gallery update?

Re: Gallery upgrade challenges
Looks OK to me Dean, we did have an issue with the NGW Project bike on the front page but that is resolved. Might try to refresh your cache.

Re: Gallery upgrade challenges
The home page is OK in IE and Chrome but is missing the BOTM image in Firefox. I deleted my cache and reloaded in FF but still no image. This started yesterday afternoon. Not sure why.
