Title: Avatars
Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on May 20, 2025, 04:53:16 PM

Following the recent server migration, some of you may have noticed that some attachment images and avatars have gone.

I took this up with the hosting company and they admitted that they don't keep the original folders for mote than a couple of days, expecting any issues to be reported to them.
In our case, I was having so much trouble with access, Error 400s, TapaTalk etc that this time had run out by the time I got round to complaining about the missing images.

I have a backup from 2018...   I know, it's the last time I did it.

I've managed to rescue a few and have uploaded them to the individual's profile, but I'm afraid that the others have gone forever.

If you are a member on the USA site, I can probably get Glenn to copy your avatar from there, otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to upload a new one.

Sorry.

If it’s just down to avatars for us minions I’m sure we can upload or renew. (Sorry should just speak for myself)Thanks for getting us back on to the forum, sounds like there is been a bit of head scratching along the way!

I'm sure we can sort that out Steve.
Thanks for sorting out the issues.

No problem with uploading a new Avatar Steve it's a simple task.
I have noticed however any previous photos uploaded in threads have all gone although the photo description remains it is accompanied by a paper clip icon as though it's an attachment but no image.
The site though is becoming more busy as it was pre migration.
I reflect what others have said, thanks for continuing to do an excellent job👍.

Images/photos are all stored in the same “attachments” folder.

There’s no way back I’m afraid.

Should have taken a backup before moving servers.

My photos look to be unafected, I use the BBCode link from Flikr
If I delete the photo from Flikr then it's gone
