It's been a very interesting 24 hours.

Forums are finally open again but they are still BUGGED like crazy and might explode any second. I'll fix them tomorrow. Right now I need some sleep.

Ok, lets test it out..



IMG works fine for me. Or are you talking about something else?

Also I'm not sure what you mean by that second part. You mean you don't see the forum modifications? Yes, some of them are gone but I'm slowly bringing them back. It just takes a while because I have to do everything manually.

You see the problem is that my ex-hosting provider lost all the files which meant that I had to go and use backup files that were taken a few days ago.

This forum consists of two things:

- files on the server (how forum looks, all the modifications)
- database (all the posts, member information, etc)

So because my ex-hosting providers mistake, we now have a new version of the database, but a couple of days older version of the files. When you combine this with the fact that I removed many modifications recently, we have a "de-sync" problem of sorts.

This "de-sync" problem can be fixed but it requires some time because now I have to manually edit every single small change that those modifications did.

But the good news is that no information was lost in the process since this is only a visual error. you might not see some things yet but they are still there.

Yes.. all old attachments are currently broken which is a MAJOR issue. I'm trying to fix it.

Yes. I might be able to salvage them though.

But polls are not my main concern as they can be redo easily. Main problem is the attachments. I don't know about others but I cannot open any attached pictures.

To all you computer guys out there, I'm pretty sure that the problem is FileZilla transferring attachment files as ASCII instead of binary, and killing them thinking they were text files. This is a known problem with FileZilla software that I was unaware of.

But that's just one theory. I'll have to do some more investigating to know for sure.

And I use Imageshack like a normal person. Those forums are far from being reliable.

Imageshack is not 100% safe either. For example my 46 card version of this deck disappeared: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=373.msg3069#msg3069 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=373.msg3069#msg3069)

But we will have Imageshack integrated on this forums. The person who is in charge of that particular modification just hasn't finished it yet, but as soon as it's finished I will install it.
