Sadly, it seems that member profiles were not able to be transferred over. Copies of the previous site have been put into backup but the selection for profile directory plugins for WordPress are more putrid than I thought. Our idea was for fellow members to put themselves up in a directory that could be accessed for both local and non-local furs to get in contact with them. It could be displayed on a page, along with a profile image which appears as a thumbnail.
Sadly, the best plugin I have seen is a rather confusing bit of PHP code and the programmer was very much lacking in his “relating with people” skills and was more into the “donation” aspect to things (i.e. making $$$). Hopefully a better one will come along or something. So until then, hang tight.

Finally, a long overdue project is off my table and here for pubic consumption. While WordPress isnt a crutch for all the websites I design, it seemed perfect for the type of website that I want SoCalFurs to be. So far, the first template is done and I hopefully can get a few more done for each of the 4 seasons (not that Cali seems to have weather).
More things will be happening with SoCalfurs including finally getting some community driven things put in such as articles for the local “furry party venues” and some stuff for all the local furry/anthro artists.
