<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2603545, member: 112"]Well, I've explained it before but I guess I will again. It's the result of mixing more than one type of forum software programs. In the old days, CT was based on a different forum software than it is today. And as usually happens, one software does not support any other software. In the old days all there was was albums. But when the switch was made to the new software, there was no such thing as albums. Instead there were the Gallery and Showcase options. </p><p><br /></p><p>So the task became how to combine thousands and thousands of member images that had been posted in the old album feature, and still provide a way for members to add their images in the new software. Short and sweet there wasn't any way to combine them. So Peter did the best he could to at least keep all the old pictures posted in albums by members over the course of many years. And he managed to keep the images for them. But sadly there was no way to preserve organizational features of the old software for the albums. About all that can be said is that he did the best he could with the tools he had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
