Does anyone know if the europaowners.org web site is still open to post build pictures? I've registered on the site but I can't find a link to create a new build.
Many thanks
Alan

Hi Alan,
If you look at the homepage of "Gallery", the organisation that hosts europaowners.org ( http://galleryproject.org/ ), you will see the following announcement. This may explain your lack of success.
Nigel
The Gallery team has decided to take a step back from actively maintaining this project. Truth be told, most of the core team got busy with their lives over the past few years and we haven't had the time to really actively maintain the project in a long time. The forums have continued to be lively and helpful and there is still plenty of good conversation there - but no new code has been written in the past 6 months and that's not likely to change.
So after over 14 years, 3 major revisions of the project, many tens of releases, hundreds of contributors, tens of thousands of lines of code, almost a hundred thousand forum topics and almost four hundred thousand comments, it's time for us to shutter up shop.
Why not just leave the site up and operational? Unfortunately - it takes time to actively maintain and police our site. The Gallery website is constantly under attack by spammers and our servers require maintenance. We've been doing that for years, but it's time to call it quits.
So what's next? Sometime soon we'll make the website read only. All the forum posts and topics will still be there, but we'll stop letting people log in and add new content. This will greatly prevent the spread of spam through the site while still allowing search engines to find useful content. Then we'll put the whole site into a very low-overhead maintenance mode until we run out of money to keep it up. Then we'll shut the site down.
While the site is hibernating, some systems will continue to work. You'll be able to download translations for Gallery 3, for example. But at some point we'll stop accepting translation uploads. And when we run out of money, translations will go away. Sorry about that.
It's been a great ride. I'm glad that you could join us with it. But now it's time to move on.
regards,
Bharat
PS: If you're interested in taking over the project - email me and we can talk. You need to be serious about it though because I'm not handing this over to somebody who just wants to use it for SEO purposes. My email address is easy to find. Also, I won't be reading private messages.

Thanks Nigel,
I'ts disappointing and worrisome that they are going to shut the site down completely at some point but don't give any indication when.
Many thanks

Gents,
Does anyone know if your albums/pictures can be downloaded other than individually?

Hello everyone,
EuropaOwners.org is NOT closing. The developers of “Gallery” the software that the site is based on is no longer going to provide updates.
As an example, the Matronics site runs on phpbb2 and that has not been supported for years, and the site continues to run smoothly.
I see no reason that EuropaOwners should not be able to do the same.
I'ts disappointing and worrisome that they are going to shut the site down completely at some point but don't give any indication when.
No need to be troubled or disappointed - the site should continue to run just fine.
Does anyone know if your albums/pictures can be downloaded other than individually?
Yes. Next to the album is a pull down menu. Select Add to cart. The software will let you add all the photos in that album to your cart. You can then download the photos as a ZIP file. The software will not download all the sub-albums, you have to click on them individually and “add to cart”.
I've registered on the site but I can't find a link to create a new build.
Many thanks
Alan
Oops sorry Alan, I turned off letting users build albums on the main menu after we had some inappropriate postings. I’ve set up an album for you on page 4. User name AlanHunter You should be able to Upload and make sub-albums there.
Hope that clears things up,
SteveD
