11,500 IPphotos moving to IPYOA was created by hayden
FYI:
I have begun the massive job of moving, re-coding, integrating, and upgrading IPYOA so it can accept the import and the photo categories matching IPphotos. Note: IPphotos was built in December 1999 (over my Christmas Vacation break from school) then, within months, it had hundreds of photos shared by owners.. Note this was years before Facebook, and by the time Facebook launched in 2004, we had nearly 2,000 photos shared by hundreds of Island Packet owners!
Currently the site has been placed into an archive state, preventing members from deleting their photos shared over the many years. Yes, we had one member delete all his 94 photo albums shared with the fleet. He decided he no longer wanted to share. At that point, I had to re-code the application to prevent deletion in order to protect the archive we all had built over the many many years. I funded and paid for this project ever since inception and I did not want one owner to degrade the archive via deletion, so I locked it down, and protected what we built.
Now, it is time to fully take down the IPphotos site and integrate it into this wonderful site. To do that, I have hired and already paid for a programmer to code the integration. We will be building the same photo categories and photo sub-categories matching IPphotos.com. Then we will import the 11,500 photos into this new photo structure here. Finally, we will take the 5,700 photos inside of IPYOA and move these albums into their proper photo categories matching their subjects. Once this is all completed, who knows when, we will then have an IP Owners Photos collection of nearly 20,000 photos! That will be really outstanding.
Please know that IPYOA is under constant upgrades, and management. I work on this in my spare time simply because I enjoy and Love Island Packewt Yachts.. Please know that my goal is to combine the photo archive of IPphotos into a new and improved photo collection in IPYOA with matching categories.
I hope this helps IP owners with their ownership and enjoyment of their yacht.
Sincerely
Hayden

Hayden,
Of all the resources available to Island Packet owners (IP Homeport, IPYOA and whatever else is out there) for me IP Photos is by far the most useful and easiest to navigate. It's the only place that has a logical layout for pictures of projects and upgrades. Everywhere else it's hit or miss trying to find specific info. Forums are fine for chit-chat but pictures with explanations really tell the story so much better. I'm pleased to hear it'll soon be incorporated here and back to full operation. I still have plenty of work to do on my boat and need that source of inspiration and technical know-how. Muchas gracias Hayden for bringing back such a great resource.

Thank you Tom, I agree and the structure of IPphotos is the exact structure I have been trying to rebuild into this community. The missing piece is the lack of pre built photo categories for all our albums. That is what we are coding. Right now I am working on all base apps being upgraded and also the base engine upgrade. These alone are a challenge. Once that is finished then my programmer can create the photo categories and sub categories. We have the data tables from ipphotos ready to go.
My forum also follows the same system structure and that too is key. So thank you for your feedback.

One more point. Search photos and albums.
You do see I built a very powerful PHOTO SEARCH under the photo link drop down. It is also the same as the search menu link.
Enter a word like RADAR, then check the box for photo and album and all radar photos come up.
Works great.

Hayden,
As you know from earlier dialogue, I am all for the integration you describe. My concern has been for the fragmentation of the IP community due to the proliferation of competing options. For example, the Facebook community is new, and has brought new "faces" to the conversations, but those who are loyal to the earlier communities will never meet this part of the fleet. I'm all for outreach, but it would be nice if we could find a way to integrate the entire community of IP loyalists.

I agree, integration is the goal. Job #1, integrate IPphotos, 11,500 photos into the 5,500+ photos here saving that archive from those that tried to delete it.
I recommend that you post these links for ALL our IP sites and help every one promote our IP groups.
Post these links and share them please on the other site as well, then every one knows all our sites.
