Well done. Nice clean look. Just in time; I was just starting to get the apug (or Photrio) DTs (Delirium tremens).

However, I'm not able to log in with Chrome (my usual browser), even after clearing cache and cookies. Anyone else having this issue? I am able to log in with Firefox.

How can APUG be an orphan when it's been gently moved by its Daddy and enfolded in the loving arms of its brother and sister at PHOTRIO?
It has a new roof over its head, a closer relationship with its siblings, lots of new friends with, likely, so many more to come; and all under the benevolent, undivided gaze of its Dad.

Great job. On iPad safari here. Like the way a small H appears against hybrid posts to differentiate. Well done, Tony

That's what I'm afraid of. APUG was both the identity and name of the site and now both are dead. I understand the need for one or the other to merge with its evil sisters that have jobs and pay the bills, but I don't understand why we needed to lose both. Now I'm just a member of a mega-imaging site that's 2/3 non-analog and doesn't even have analog in its name anymore. I wasn't expecting this.

Sean, it looks fantastic. Everything I've looked at functions exactly as it was (yet better). I'll check from my ancient laptop when I have a chance, but this is just great. I'm sure some will grumble, but a rose by any other name would smell as sweet - it's still APUG, just expanded.

Hi Wayne,

This has been in progress and in discussion since Nov. 2016, I suggest catching up here. A lot of discussion about why it's been done and the way it's been done:

Major Announcement: APUG future development plans

And more recently when the final move was decided:

APUG.ORG to PHOTRIO.COM Migration, Final Details.

We're still here. A community is more than a name or brand. I hope you stick around. Uncheck "Hybrid" and "Digital" in the site header and you'll find yourself in familiar territory.

Thanks,
Sean

I must admit, I'm just a little bit disappointed. I can't find anything to complain about. I really wanted to vent some negative energy but you've spoiled it for me by making the new place so friggin' perfect.

You've just become one of my new favourite-ist people! That's a great comment.

If you would still like to vent, though, I've set up a room in my house entirely stripped of furnishings and I've purchased an array of glasses and crockery for one to hurl, with vim, vigour and venom, at the walls. Works a treat although my landlord now wants use of it because of the git who's trashing his rental property!

I couldn't log in at first with Safari. Clicking on the link did nothing but I traced it to Ghostery blocking Google+. Disabled that for a second and it worked. Don't know if that will help you, but FYI. Kind of a pain, but I leave my browser logged in to APUG. I mean Phototrio! Shouldn't be a problem besides a slight inconvenience when I dump the cache.

Hi Patrick, I'd like to get to the bottom of that. Do you use Google services to login or had you been using the google login option? I suppose your blocking app detected the Google login code and prevented any further action. I'll check with the xenforo guys, this might be a known issue with a workaround. Thanks

Sean I suspect it is just Ghostery blocking anything related to Google+ so it blocked the pop up login window. The problem I was encountering was when I clicked on the login on the top right of the page it just did nothing. This is on Safari if it matters. I have Ghostery, Adblock plus, and Wiper installed on the browser, but only Ghostery caused the issue. I disabled one at a time, first Wiper, then ABP, then finally disabled Google+ in Ghostery after which everything worked normally. The Facebook plugin didn't effect the login or the popup. Hope that makes sense. Not an issue really.

Yep, I can confirm this - I had to disable Ghostery to login.


Sean - outstanding job, I'm really impressed!

@tim_walls @Patrick Robert James Thanks guys. I have not used ghostery, can you tell ghostery to ignore photrio.com? I'll see what others at xenforo say about this. Thanks

Yep, consider yourself whitelisted .

Ghostery isn't an ad-blocker as such, rather it blocks tracking cookies, 3rd party tracking Javascript & images, that sort of thing. For example, I just opened up the NY Times website, which has the following horrendous range of privacy invasion cookies/tags which Ghostery blocks:

BlueKai
ChartBeat
Facebook Connect
Google AdWords Conversion
Google Analytics
Google Publisher Tags
Krux Digital
Media.net
Moat
NY Times TagX
Optimizely Geographical Targeting
Pinterest Conversion Tracker
ScoreCard Research Beacon
Snowplow
SOASTA mPulse
Twitter Advertising
Yahoo Analytics
Yahoo DOT tag
​
Photrio does not, so I'm happy to whitelist it. (Some things - like Facebook, Google+ login widgets and so on serve a dual purpose - on the one hand they are used to track you, but on the other they enable useful functionality like single signon. It would be nice if disabling Google+ didn't break the popup completely, but I wouldn't consider it a high priority for you Sean - as I say, Photrio is in general well behaved so I don't think anyone should be too bothered about whitelisting it!)

We have a dedicated/free IOS and Android App coming soon. It means we get to control our own data and not give a 3rd party full access to our database and users private details. I'm arranging my Apple dev account next week and hope to have everything setup later next week and waiting on approval.

I'm off to sleep and will pick things up in the morning.

The Page Up/Page Down buttons don't seem to work in any browser. Nor does clicking the blank are of the scroll bars. Hugely annoying.

Great work overall. Thanks for you efforts.
