Unfortunately, the email notification appears to broken again…. The contributor is identifiable but all other details are blank again with just various comment placeholders.

Will the updates fix the photo posting too?

I was hoping it would work, but clearly it still is not working. I will try another approach this evening

Thank you Al for all your hard work!

I agree, thanks, Al, for your efforts!
Kind regards, Jan

After a long time of testing and seeking a fix, it looks like the forum comments and image upload issues will not be easily remedied. Also the fragile notification feature is broken again. This website is an old version in terms of technology - at least 10 years out of date and no longer supported by its developers. In November, even the community of supporters will disband and leave for the current version. I could continue try to make repairs but due to the time that it might take and because it's inevitable that the site must upgrade to the present day version by november anyway, I've decided to focus on the transition now although it will leave the forum functionality unavailable for maybe a couple of weeks. The hopeful outcome is for a fresher, better, more stable website.

Fully understandable, Al. Take your time. We cannot add all kinds of information, but we can still use, derive and enjoy the accumulated information, which is still available. Although I am a nitwit on these website matters, please let me know if I can be of any help. Kind regards, Jan

I guess it had to be done eventually.

Thank you again for all your hard tedious work on this time consuming project but the good news the forums will function better than ever.

Al, do you happen to have any information for us on an ETA for the transition to the new software? Some had read what you wrote as saying that the change could not be done until November, but I think what you were saying is that it HAS to be done by then, so might as well go forward now. If there is anything at all that can be done to help with testing or anything else, please let us know.

Cheers,
Jon

Since the problems with the website started, I managed to add or replace some fifteen interesting Dinky Toys. I would love to show them in some detail and discuss them in the relevant topics, but alas ...
The longer this breakdown lasts, the more harm it will do to the DTCA, the mutual interaction of its members and the increase of the knowledge of Dinky Toys history, I'm afraid. Kind regards, Jan
