Server move!

Either nobody is posting to threads I am subscribed to or I'm not getting the notifications.

I believe I've fixed this. Might need some confirmation though. In addition to a setting I just changed, immediately before I set things up on the new server a spammer found a back door and started sending out spam/phishing mail. So because of that some mail may go to your spam folder.

I have found posts where the image is now missing (see #1244: Spider Pics), but when I try to put the image back, nothing happens after hitting save -- post stays the same with no image.
If the image was posted while on the old server (two days ago now) after I copied data to the new server then it will not show up until it's uploaded again.

I am noticing that, when I reply to a post using the "Reply with Quote" any images inthat post show up as an attachment link inside my reply. I cannot then open the attachment link.
Is this still happening? It may be because of an unrelated bug, but may also be fixed if you quote new posts that happened yesterday or today.

Understood, but I can not redo the images into the original post -- it shows I have edited it, but no image is attached. Shall I go through all the 18th posts and do them anew?

John, hate to bug you as I know you have been very busy. I still don't see a sub menu when I go into the gallery, is this to be expected or is something still broke. No rush.

I got six notifications this morning starting around 1:30am.

I've had nothing since the move. Still can't repair any of my posts done on the 18th.

No emails, you mean?

For your posts that aren't showing you'll have to go to "edit post" > "Go Advanced" > "Manage Attachments" (under the post editor) and remove anything that isn't showing up by clicking the X at the top right of the thumbnail. You'll then have to re upload the photo. Or you can just forget about the original post and post a new one. Sorry this is a pain.

As of last night's posting, everything was working just like before, at least for those things that I do on a regular basis... THANKS for all of your hard work, "Mr Admin Guy"! You should get a raise! ;)
