We are having a few technical issues with the file system and moving everything over. Will have it back shortly.

I signed up again with same name and same password and got in. It has much yet to go before a being a useable site.

The new site had a lot/most of the old data yesterday but Sim said they ran into some issues and are working them. Looks like only the shell is there as they continue to work it. I’ll hangoff until they tell us to try it again.

Same here. Just got registered and set to go. Thanks again Slim!!

Went back to the Photos category and now looking at pics from 3+ years ago. Of course, the Photobucket pics don't show up most of the time but jpg's and others do for sure. Nice to finally see more old shots.

Correction: If the old photos say ATTACHMENT in red, the photo won't pop up.

Are you using the "insert image" tab in the quick reply box? It doesn't seem to be working for me. I can browse and select my image but it says "upload of file failed."

I am about worthless with anything technology related though.

Make sure that the image file you are uploading to not a really big file. I had a similar problem with an image that was really large (6M), so I resized it to a smaller size (I think I downsized it to 1600x... pixels) and it uploaded fine. Large size images are great for printing and large screen TVs, but smaller/downsized images look just as good on a smartphone or computer screen.

That's kinda what I have done, but I like going in through the Homepage so I can see our supporting vendors and click on their banners when I want to go to one of their sites. Guess I'll just have to keep both the old & new bookmarked.

Gottcha. Did not understand at first. I think Sim said that everything will migrate.

Yep. Need to go to settings and your profile and update it. I also had to upload my avatar and profile pics, and update what info is displayed (default seems to be full birthdate, which I updated to just age. Don’t like having my birthday displayed on the web.

Actually, I'm thinking of suing the bastard for plagarism, he copied my life which leads me to my second book recommendation:
