• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

attachments

The old fogeys of the Hysterical Wings Forum were rather proud of our long-running thread with its attachments, but I knew it was doomed as soon as 'progress' was mooted.

Shame - will miss lots of things like Ferry's superb airshow pics.

The possible database limit sounds a bit ominous - I hope we're not sacrificing a valuable reference tool for a (very) few online flyers........

Well maybe I still have to figure out how...but try finding a thread you started, on the old SOH?
And, as to dumping all your attachments, sure if that's what it takes - but wasn't this going to be an UPgrade?
Luckily there's no pressure on any of this, the forum operates and everyone feels at home again! ;)

Ron,

My call is that it's your call. And, for fully valid reasons, I think your call is to start over.

And, to help that effort, I just deleted all my attachments.

Cheers,

Ken

Lefty, I use photobucket for my photos, and not the attachment option of the SOH. :)

As for the Mystery aircraft thread, I saved all of those photos to my disk. ;)
 
A picture or screen shot is a brief moment in time, I live for today not yesterday.
If your attachments are so important why are they here and not on your wall in a wooden frame, or on your desk with captions and arrows and on the back a decryption of what each picture is. This is not Alice's restaurant.

Everytime we get a new server the code changes, than I am stuck trying to figure it out and reading thousands of pages in a manual, this changes because of security reasons and no-one is willing to help, you are on your own to figure it out. I am real close to cracking the attachment code.

Everytime we move or whatever I am always stuck dealing with pictures/attachments. The major problem is the chmod/permissions changes on them and on each folder, this means I have to FTP into the main folder and mamually change each and every one of them along with eash folder, about 1/2 million of them, I am almost 60 and there is not enough time in my life to waste it on your attachments.

I will put in-charge wing_z to do this task, he thinks this is so easy, a caveman could do it.

Wing_Z you the man, ............................. are you done yet........................ are you done yet
 
Hi All,

To my knowledge there's no size limit on the database side of MySQL although there's an OS file size limit which could impact on things.

Operating System File-size Limit
Win32 w/ FAT/FAT32 2GB/4GB
Win32 w/ NTFS 2TB (possibly larger)
Linux 2.2-Intel 32-bit 2GB (LFS: 4GB)
Linux 2.4+ (using ext3 file system) 4TB
Solaris 9/10 16TB
MacOS X w/ HFS+ 2TB
NetWare w/NSS file system 8TB

From what Ickie's describing it's more so a permissions related issue anyway which can be a real pain in the rear. Easier just to flush it and start again buddy.

Cheers :ernae:
Lindsay

Just flush them Ron.
 
Ron, while I agree for the most part there is likely little of huge importance in the attachments overall, there may be a small select number that are worth some effort. What I am thinking about are the FSX Tweaks, and FSX Tips etc, and a few other select support type threads that had attachments with good instructions for users. I am not sure how easy it would be to isolate the attachments for just a couple of threads, but those would be the only attachments I could think that might be worth saving.

Having said that, I am not suggesting you expend effort on saving them, but if you and others agree there are some that should be saved those are the attachments I think need to be considered. Now rather than just suggest more work for anyone else, I would be willing to assist if I can (I am no expert on PHP or the Forum code, but I am a quick study). I should be in town for the next two weeks anyway so push my buttons if I can help with anything at all.
 
To be honest why people dont use photobucket is beyond me.

Its easy to sign up, its free, you get a ton of space, a million options for album sharing/security and at the end of the day its as easy as copy/paste to multiple forums, BISH BASH BOSH!.

...and unlike imageshack you dont get adverts everywere and nasty options that force viewers to the slow imageshack site.:mixedsmi:
