Thread Name: Is the photo section now defunct?
Subject: RE: Is the photo section now defunct?
Things have been a little tough for us technologically since the Big Crash of the Summer of 2005. We finally have most of the things fixed that went kablooey in the crash, and most of the remaining problems are things you wouldn't notice. The photos and most other database entries were showing double, and that's fixed now. The massages are back in proper order, even though the number of messages in a thread doesn't always display correctly on the Forum Menu. The Links page seems to be working OK, although I still have a huge backlog of links to process.

Max and Jeff have their plates full with other stuff right now, so they haven't had time to do much more than to keep the basic stuff running - and I think the basic stuff has been running more reliably than it ever did in the past. I don't know if they'll get time to do more with photos. I'm hoping they'll fix Mudcat MIDIs first, since that's more directly related to our primary music function. In the meantime, I'm storing MIDI files at Jon Freeman's site. It would be wonderful if somebody would like to volunteer to run a similar offsite storage facility for Mudcat photos. I can set up a Photos PermaThread to use for linking to that site. Any volunteers?
