Title: Server Change has Eliminated Attached Photos
Post by: Michael West on April 29, 2012, 11:08:46 pm

When I read about the switch to a new server the other day. It did not cross my mind that the photos posted as attachments would vanish.

I do hope they are retrievable en masse.

Maybe this is what the mayan calendar was referring to.'-}

Sorry, that's my bad.  They are not lost just still synchronizing.  The list of attachment files was too big for a standard approach so they are coming through in batches right now.  I will post in here again when it's completed.

Ok, all of the attachments should be back in place.  If anyone notices any issues please report it here or start a new thread in the "about this site" area.

Thanks. all those new threads with "missing file" icons was a bit scarey!

As was synchronizing 57,665 attachments :)  Glad it's working fine now.
