Even worse is the dying traffic on this forum. Makes it hard to justify the time to go back and redo the thread (I lost mine as well). I held on as long as I could without joining the social media world. The boating groups on FB are pretty good as long as you don't get lost in the comments.

Its been crickets in here for the last few months. I know the new format turned a few people off and I guess losing the ability to host pics here has pushed many to the FB groups.

Yep, destroyed my 5 plus year restoration thread.
Sorry, but 400 bucks a year is insane to host pics on the web.

Your thread was one of the most tragic casualties of the PB bs.

PB doesn't want to host pics, they want all to see them at their site so they can get advertising dollars. I stopped using PB years ago, always liked uploading pics to the site. Was not able to do it here before due to OSO wants funding. So I would post pics at iboats and then link here. Do have some links here but not many. Iboats decided to give everyone continuing edit rights to all threads so we can fix any of our threads. Have all but deleted my account at PB,
