Title: Lost attachments
Post by: macman104 on January 27, 2009, 05:09:42 PM: It seems that older attachments cannot be opened anymore. I can't tell if it's just old attachments or if it's attachments posted before the move to the new server...

Nah, not really, but just noticed in a old thread that was recently posted in, that I couldn't open the attachment. But it's sad to lose all of those attachments, some of which may have helpful info in them.

Good Luck!

Post by: ARGOS++ on February 26, 2009, 02:54:45 PM: Dear Mr. Borek;

For once your guess is not correct, because they survived the "Big Server Move" quite well.

When macman104 started this thread we are in, after the "Big Server Move", he initiated me to check the status of both attachments and I found them and in fine shape.

The accident must have been happen later, maybe at the same moment when all these other more than 120 postings were emptied too!

Dear Mitch: Can you fix/reinstall both attachments if I send you a copy of each?
I think only in this kind if they are really lost, and especially because the thread is referenced by other topics!
(That’s also why I got the message about.)

Good Luck!

I’m still waiting for three answers to my questions above!

Kind regards!

P.S.: It seems that you very rarely read/check your pm, if at all.
