Prior to the new web site (via clubexpress), work was done to restore all of the old POCA photo albums. That work was successful thanks in part to Terry Himes who did some coding magic to make the Piwigo album software work with the old files and restore them. That effort restored 99.9% of all the photos (some 4,000 or more) from the old POCA website before it crashed and had to be rebuilt. Those photos were available for anyone (including non-members) to view. I don't know if the new web site will again host all those photos. It would appear folks are having to rebuild their own photos albums from scratch, but I may be wrong. It would be a loss if all those old albums, linked to their owners by name, were lost.

While the registry is naturally the place to store and share car and project data,
there are (and should be) other website locations for this material.
I have to ask, what happened to all our folders that we pain-stakeingly created on the POCA website?
Are they now ONLY available to selected POCA members? Is all the material actually GONE?
That would be really bad if true. I remember the 'good' POCA volunteers were trying hard to recover that data from an earlier "storage" incident (virus/crash/etc). I believe their efforts were not fully successful.
OK so all people are no longer allowed access to the POCA website, so there is no point re-creating it under POCA control.
At the point of suggesting some other web resource other than the registry, The PI Board has a place for such material also, and it has search functions, etc to support users.

I kind of like the idea of using the Pantera International web site . I have always perused the stuff there daily , occasionally posting and lately it also has seemed like a refreshing refuge that should be enthusiastically supported . - Jim
