Is this website supposed to be an improvement?

I don’t think so. What a terrible shame.

Give it a chance – far from normal at the moment!

At least its up and running👍

Why has the name of albums disappeared and Gallery is in its place, my understanding is that an album is  part of a gallery? If I click on gallery on most sites it shows all their pics.

A Gallery on this site is very different from an Album on the old, and I don’t expect them to be used much.   They’re a repository for pictures and documents that aren’t used in posts.     For example a gallery could be used to provide several photographs in support of a Classified Advert, or to host a PDF manual.  Otherwise, easier just to paste photos directly into posts.

I feel quite disappointed with the new website/forum software and think it would be hard going even for a new user. I know it not fair to pass judgement on an unfinished product and I’m more than prepared to wait but my fear is that it will not change enough to make me want to stay the course.

All good things take time; lets give it a chance.

Lets check things out first, and kick the tires, and not pass hasty initial first-blush judements.

Hats off to those who are bold enough to upgrade this software; much appreciated.

That is going to be extraordinarily slow if every post with photos has to wait for moderation.

.

is there a latest post mechanism – to be honest never really used the themed thread mechanism as interesting material can be found in any threads.

as for both cloudflare + google captcha – I guess required so that google can track
