Roger, I respect you as a photographer, a tutorial MASTER and as a G1 contributor...both on G1 and the old GG site, but I have to repectfully disagree about the navigation of the current site. While it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out(otherwise I'd be lost within it) it's NOT as easy as many other sites that people can frequent. YOU are very computer proficient...you have proven that over and over again...many of us are not.
When the site changed from GG to G1, I uploaded about 40+ albums. In fact, RG used to refer to MY portfolio as one to look at and use as an example. I continued to build albums because Rolando allowed me to have a bit more space than others. One day I logged on and ALL of my albums were gone...deleted. I never received an email...a reason...nothing...they were just gone. I even emailed you on it and to this day have never got an answer as to what happened. Don't misunderstand, you did reply...promptly...but I was never clear as to what really happened. Hopefully I didn't piss anyone off and I don't think that to be the case as I would have received some sort of correspondance. I don't believe the albums are even an option any longer...maybe they are but I haven't checked into it as it took me quite a while to build what I had and I really didn't want to go through that again...
If the old site was broken and the new format is the way to go, man I understand. And I am not advocating changing the format...it's here and lets work with it...BUT having said that, there have been MANY grumblings about the difficulty of navigating this site. You have gone above and beyond in providing tutorials and threads to assist...The problem is, MANY people simply will not read through tutorials just to be a part of a site...they will just migrate to a much easier one that provides similar content...and there are quite a few to choose from...
All I am getting at is, if there are so many folks that state the site is NOT easy to navigate...maybe someone should take that into consideration rather than add another tutorial....
