Its been a long time coming for this new web site and I must say it is a big improvement, but what happened to my blog?
No more blogs
- Thread starter HiBanky
- Start date
Blogs are no longer part of the site.
See, when the previous software was created in the previous century “blogs” seemed like the coming thing and the developers of the software included that feature in the forum software.
A tiny number of folks used them as blogs. Really just a handful of users. Most Blog posts were made by new members that were totally unfamiliar with the forum concept… but they’d heard of “Blogs” so they asked their RV questions there. There were thousands of stranded unanswered and ignored questions in the Blogs section. They were basically invisible and so they went unanswered.
When this new software was developed “blogs” was the first thing to go along with other features that become dead ends, like groups and Profile posting.
I’m not aware of your blog on WO, but I’d expect it’s was lost during the conversion since the new software has no provision for them to be converted to.

Thank you for your response today. I completely understand why the blog feature was eliminated. I was pretty much the only one that used it extensively. That said, I have a great deal of work compiled in my obsoleted blog that I can no longer access. Although I may be in only one of a few people that used this feature I did have over 30 entries and thousands of reviews. I would appreciate it very much if you could provide me with a way to retrieve this data so that I can store this in a safer place.
I'll contact the folks in charge and see if it's possible.

Has there been any progress on this?
Yes, quite a bit. I've seem a couple of pages in an Admin section that is for Admin only. I'm waiting for the go ahead to share it with you and some info on exactly how to do so.
