Steve,
You have a good point. Well taken.
When I got the idea for a website, with so many things to consider about sandcast minutae, it was not easy to conceptualize the best way to organize all the information.
So, going with what I was familiar with, I decided to use the organization and nomenclature found in the Parts and Service Manuals, thinking most enthusiasts use these reference materials.
After the webserver, Start Logic, migrated two years ago the old vDeck platform to a new platform requiring fluent html experience, of which I have none, this change has been quite difficult for me. The old platform was very user friendly for this 57 year old dummie.
I need to talk to Curt Hollis, to see if he knows html. Or, if anyone out there is html competent, let me know. It all takes time.
What makes things even more complicated, as I see it, we are commited to using Start Logic's vDeck platform. If we were to use a different webserver's platform, all the info in this webssite cannot be transferred and would need to be loaded manually to the different server. (A couple years back, I explored at member's request a different BB host. But if we went with a different BB host, all our old post could not be transfered and would need to be archived somehow, somewhere.)
We probably wouldn't have the website if KP had not encouraged me to follow through. I know the limitations of my compter ability. That's why, after long research, i picked Start Logic as the webserver, it was user friendly then. So really, existance of the website is thanks to KP.
Would be better if someone with computer expertise took over the website, then we wouldn't have the problems donzie and doug21 experience.
It's all easy if you know which buttons to push. If you don't, it takes alot of time to learn and my brain doesn't readily wrap around computer logic.
Curt, if you read this, let me know if you have html expertise and feel you can go in to make some changes to the website.
It's probably because most of us don't have in depth computer experience that involvement with SOOC other than the BB participation is so limited. At least it sounds like a good reason.
Hard to believe the lack of participation in the various pages of SOOC people volunteered to manage are becasue of a lack of caring, but anything's possible. I suspect the main reason is a combintation of things, not taking the time and not having computer expertise.
Cyberspace is not my playground.
