Thought I'd pop back and see how things were going, but it appears they're even worse than before...
Lack of posts aside, the number of photos in some of the 'hardcore' member's galleries since the site changed (what was it, 2-3 months ago?) seem to be very low too.
As I said before the change, if the publishing house wants the site to do well, it needs to focus on the
content and
engagement. Look at
http://www.facebook.com/Digitalcameraworld - fresh content, people interacting with posts. They should have bridged the gap between the forum and the facebook page...
