zorgon, thank you so much for the tremendous effert these past two days in getting this thing straightened out! We have missed having the usual access! And yes, each time something like this  happens, we realize again, what this forum means to each of us, as a part of our daily lives.

Much much thanks, for a job well done!!

MISSING AVATARS AND ATTACHMENTS

DO NOT LOAD A NEW AVATAR

They are currently missing because moving the forum means I have to redirect to the attachment url


I MAY delete it and start a new one for avatars only so hold on because if you add an avatar now it will likely get lost when I redirect

[zorgon]

On attachments...

Attachments are stored in the MYSLQ database.

As such they take up a lot of space and every time someone views one it loads and slows the database

Attachments are also set to expire by default (currently turned off)

Attachments can also bring in malicious programs even those we limit file extensions

So I have currently copied all attachments to a directory. In a directory they are stored as a hard copy on the server not in a database. As such a link to such a file on the same server as the forum is virtually instant and does not stress the data base

I will be getting us a gallery  In fact one is loaded but have had no time to configure it If anyone here has experience setting up Coppermine Gallery PLEASE let me know as once its set up members can store images there and just insert those in posts

It may be necessary to delete the old attachment folder and reload avatars  I will let you know

Zorgon !

What can one say after such an ordeal...

Thought all had been lost..

Your the Top Man PRC hero !

Not sure yet how you did it...

But you saved the day and all the members futures...

Hope that you can resolve any further outstanding issues and manage to obtain contact with
any members who may still be unsure what happened and have not yet reestablished contact.

Thanks again..

Congratulations and thank you.

Camelot has been down for a couple days also.  I consider this and that one to be among the most important UFO related sites available. I've also noticed problems with other UFO sites or reports.

The question is: who did this and why?.   What is happening or about to happen that must be stopped?

[Eighthman]

Camelot is now back up and running.

Something is going on.........
