    Default Old thread pictures

    Will the pictures be returning to MWF threads brought across from WWF?

    e.g. in case you arent aware of the issue
    The things I buy! <<<WWF redirect
    //metalworkforums.com/f65/t141217-buy <<<MWF

    Though I notice some pictures in other thread have made it across

    Is it just me?

    Yup. Just you...

    Seriously - what you need to do is go into "manage attachments" in the Advanced response and then flick through the pictures. Drag the 'used' picture you want to show down the bottom and it will allow you to re-insert.

    Hi Michael,

    But they arent there to pick.(though I'm not sure thats the complete issue)

    In this thread while the pictures in post 6 show up in MWF, the picture in post 1 is missing, though it shows up in WWF. None of the pictures are in my "manage attachments".

    p.s. In manage attachments on MWF I have 702 files. On WWF I have 1640 files. I would have very few images on WWF that werent in the metal working area.

    Hundreds of my posted images have disappeared.

    Virtual all of the pre 2010 images from both WW and MF forums have gone and substantial photos gone for the 2010-2012 period.

    That would be a great pity if they haven't been backed up somewhere by the forum owner. Many of our photos - in particular yours - are an important and world-wide resource.
    I hope the forum admins can investigate and maybe get a backup of the photos restored - perhaps even to both WWF and MWF ?
    Cheers, Joe

    Thanks Joe.

    A US site where I had posted nearly 1000 photos also lost most of its photos. The site was hacked and the links were destroyed so there was no way to relink the photos to the posts. The mods gave us blanket editing capability to all our old posts which meant members could reload and this link the photos. Luckily I had posted the same images in WWF and I also had nearly every image on my laptop but the reloading and linking was huge job and after about 200 of the most accessed images I gave up.

    I do hope it can be sorted.
