Missing Images

[Hannah Anderson]

Good Morning All,

I just wanted to give you an update on why somethings could be missing on the site (mainly images)
Last month our server crashed and due to this we lost a lot of data.
We have been working with the moderators and the server team to get back what has was lost, it is a long ongoing process. We have a large amount of it back but a few things are still missing.

We have had a few people come through to our online help desk asking about missing images and attachments.
I have popped an email over to our server team about these attachments and images that are missing.
Hopefully these can be put back on the server.

Just an aside, I tried to get an avatar instead of a pic but there was no choice displayed, so tried uploading my MT pic and still no joy. It's no great problem to me not to have an avatar or pic but just fancied one, so I hope this extra info helps you mods out.

Right, teckie guys. Went to reinstate the piccies on the first thread. Deleted the three old links and put two new piccies on. Went to put the third piccie on to be informed I can only use a maximum of five piccies?

I can only assume that even though i have deleted the original links they are still somehow being recognised and the two picies i have added totals five with the ones I deleted making the other three?

Is there a way round this as most of my posts have three piccies?

I've tried it too - and failed
As you say, it seems to recognise that the original images are there because they count towards your total of 5. Deleting them doesn't work.
At least you have the original photos, Snadger.
Some of us will have dumped them once posted.

Before you ask, there is no more news from the IT team about retrieving the images.

Maybe worth adding a note here:

But I seriously doubt it There has not been any professional communication between the service provider and the user since we experienced the problem earlier in the year. This is clearly not something that the mods can deal with and is therefore not any reflection on them- I love them

We keep asking for news..................

I'm guessing this is your wizardry VC but I swear I posted this comment on Snadgers Scrapheap Challenge thread?

[veggiechicken]

You did JJohn but it was too good to ignore so I copied the posts to this thread

I have also tried deleting three piccies from a post, saving, then going back in to upload piccies. Still the same, only two piccies could be uploaded if three were there to start with.

I've referred this to Admin, Snadger. I've tried doing it myself - and failed
I'm not holding my breath for a happy result though!
