Hey all.
Just to give you all a heads up on what's happening with the forum.
I've heard very little negative feedback from you all except for images not displaying. This effects the "old" images only. What I mean by old is that the images that were visible in forum prior to my takeover.
We believe that we have the solution but we have some family business to attend to that will keep my webmaster    ( daughter Shannon ) away for the next week or so.
Please rest assured that the images have not been lost. They are archived and as soon as we are able, we will get back to implementing the solution that will solve this problem.
I see new posts with images attached and they look to be displaying correctly. We're on the right track!
Thanks for your patience.
Regards, Mike

Thanks Mike, I think I can speak for most everyone... saving the forum is a big deal.  We know it will take a little time to get it all sorted. 
Thanks  :cheers:

Hopefully posting pics is easier. Most sites these days is one tap from your phone. Otherwise what's the point.
Most rules are written in blood and...... Rule changes are bought by a big fat check. 😉

It's not one tap but still pretty easy.

To post an image in a reply, instead of tapping "quick reply", tap "user actions" and follow the directions above.

Okay folks.
My girl has been working on the forum images and we've tested adding images to new posts. It works!
We've tested adding images in a reply. It works!
The "old" images now display properly and can be previewed and or downloaded as well!
In my opinion, the forums work as they did. Maybe even better from an admin perspective.
Thank you all for your patience and if you find issues, please holler at me.
The next task will be working on the landracing.com website. New content will be added and I intend to go through the archives and pull back material that I think would be great to have back up. I'm completely open to your suggestions on web content. After all, this is your website. I'm just trying to keep it going for y'all!
Hopefully I cross paths with some of you tomorrow at El Mirage.
Cheers.

Mike, I went over my Build Dirary and hooray! All the photos from the last 17+ years are there.
Thank you for all your efforts.

Now to learn how to post pictures again...

Mike and Shannon,

Many thanks for all your hard work on this forum.  Your efforts are very much appreciated.

If you go to El Mirage, I hope the weather (including the wind) cooperates and allows for some new
records to be safely set.
