Re: A question about the archive from the old server.

Phil, here's the problem. We have 2433 photos to chose from in trying to re-associate your photo to the message. The photos are numbered according to the original post number. However when the old posts were converted over, they were re-numbered so in the case of your first pic above, the post number is 92768, but there is no photo 92768 in our file, we go from 92688 to 92724. All photos are listed with the same creation date - the date I downloaded them from our old server - although a number of them have date taken associated with them.

So looking, again, at the first image link, Rich pointed out that it was taken the week before opening day, May 26. Given that I sorted the 2433 images according to date taken and found the image below.

which would fit with what he claims is the proper photo.

This photo was part of the same series.

But in order to get these, I had to guess the subject matter, take a wild ass guess at the date, and hope for the best. We can't do this 2433 times, especially since a lot of the old photos are scans of slides etc.

The same problem exists for links to internal, uh, links, all the numbers were changed so the associations are disassociated. We still have all the original material, and if some spark of brilliance comes up we can go back and take advantage, but at the moment, I don't know how to re-associate all the images with their parent posts.

John may know some voodoo trick to get things associated correctly, but when we were discussing it, earlier, we didn't have any good ideas. We still have all the original material, and if some spark of brilliance comes up we can go back and take advantage, but at the moment, I don't know how to re-associate all the images with their parent posts.
