I requested a photo album a while back. I never received an email back. I requested an album again today. It says I have already requested an album.

How do I get an album so I can post pics?
 
The photo albums are semi-disabled by a migration bug. Existing albums with legacy photos can be viewed and the images can be shared in posts. Any modifications to existing albums such as adding images, adding additional albums, etc. are not successful and result in the user being logged out.

New albums created by admin can't be populated with images because of this problem. Loss of persistent log in is another symptom of the bug.

When will this bug be fixed?
 
I don't know. It resulted from migrating to new infrastructure in preparation for launching a new forum platform. The small factory team with responsibility for Tugnuts is also responsible for marketing materials, events (boat shows, rendezvous, organized cruises, dealer training, advertising, web sites, product launches, and internal communications. All of which are deadline driven. They have very little bandwidth to spare.

I have been the sole admin/moderator for nearly 15 years. In that time we've gone from 5 members to almost 8,000. While there are a few leaks and creaks, we've managed to keep the old platform running at WOT. We've made the decision to allocate resources to advancing the new platform rather than fixing bugs in the old one. No excuses, just reality.

Meanwhile, as the factory team is supporting the fall boat shows and readying for the winter boat show season, we have managed to migrate and retain all legacy content. We have the structure of the new platform built. Design is forthcoming. Testing will follow. No launch date, but we can see the horizon.

As I've posted a number of times, pictures can still be posted from multiple public sources, including existing album. The only limitation is the albums can not be modified or populated. The BBCode FAQs explain how to use the Img and g2Img tags. And you can also just post a link: gallery2.php?g2_itemId=64228 or https://www.flickr.com/photos/brucecmoo ... 097625682/ for examples.

Feel free to PM or email me if you have any questions.


Thanks,
