Just a note to who ever is running the new forum format, it appears that most of the original photos in posts have disappeared/are inaccessible.

Yep it seems pretty hit and miss, some photos are there, others are kaputz!

Also no link to this forum from the new website and usernames are unique to both.
Now:
2012 Giulietta QV
1982 GTV6 3L fast road build
1966 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce...the long term project
1970 1750 GTV project car for sale

Then:
2002 156 2.5V6 Manual
2012 159 2.4JTDm Sportwagon
1973 2000 GTV with a 1750 rear half...that was a shame!
Alfa 90 (only for its engine mounts)

Apologies, we've switched hosting providers and the photos are still being transferred.

Should be sorted within a day.

Everything else working ok?

Not sure if its just me, but I'm not getting any email alerts.
Are the missing photos still a work in progress, or are they gone forever?

Also, when the poor webmaster has the time, don't forget there is no link to the forum from the Victoria club website.

That's probably #13 on the bug list . . . .  ;)

Photos still seem to be MIA. Luckily I kept a parallel thread for my V6 conversion on AlfaBB, it's a real shame if photos have been pemanently lost during the conversion.

Any updates on the email notifications or the missing images issues?
Are the missing images still being worked on, or are they not recoverable? Just wondering if I should start trying to replace the missing pics in my old posts or not.

I did contact the club committee for an update via the Contact Us page on the website wihtout a response. Seems like it's in the too hard basket. Surely the new hosting provider was liable for ensuring all content was migrated correctly?

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of going back through their old posts and re-uploading the missing photos - I assume the site has some sort of anti-hacker/anti-spam protection because after I edited a few of my old posts to fix the photos the other day, the server temporarily banned my IP (which also meant I couldn't access the NSW club site, as its hosted on the same server)
So edit your posts slowly :-[
