@ Peter:

The first thread at the top of casual conversations gives the info about the transition and migration.  

Thanks.

No it wouldn't. But at least you would have known what was happening.

Well communications was just one of my criticisms, but now you've made me curious. PN has my email address. I also have a PN "notifications" icon and a PN mail inbox. Any/all of these would seem like reasonable places for PN to notify users about pending changes. I didn't see info in any of these, although I do pay attention to these. So how were the communications made?

You must not have been paying attention.  This ride started with an announcement of new ownership many months ago.

 

True, I don't pay a lot of attention. Then again, I saw your note and replied in 4 days. So what does that say about communications, search engine problems, missing galleries, galleries going up and down like yo-yos etc? Would PN have been better migrated had I paid attention or is that a red herring? My verdict remains: amateur migration, cheered on by Polyannas saying "don't worry, be happy." Truth is I'm not worried. There are plenty of other sites. I enjoyed Photo.Net and some very talented photographers who used to be here. If PN eventually get it right (and I pay attention), I'll see if it's worth the time again. Meanwhile thanks for my 1-year badge in celebration for my being here since 2001 🙂

Where exactly do we see our own photos?  I am unable to locate my gallery.

Who knows. There's a blackhole playing roulette with our own photos. Same for me.

One of the most botched migrations I've ever seen. No advance communication of the migration or what to expect during the migration; galleries taken up and down like a yo-yo; search capabilities not working; Google links not working; and I can't see my own photos or those of people I usually follow. Can't imagine that the advertisers or paying subscribers feel they're getting any value. Not sure what this will do for the future of photo.net, even if they do get it up and running.

Dear and respectable Admin, is this a statistically insignificant and silly problem? Please put the information somewhere with a 403 heading and I would not disturb. As a member, I expected some reply.

Still happening Tuhin. Happened to me over the last few days. I emailed PN. No reply to the email so far, but at least my photos are back (thanks whoever fixed that).
