That got it. Just uploaded an image from home computer of a cruiser bike with a vector fork to my album.

[GrimJack]

Yes!  That worked.

Thanks for all your work.  Make this site "Grim" for those a$$whole spammers!

Ok, quick request.

I've been going through and converting the picture / document folders from the last software to the new format.  Unfortunately there isn't a script to do so, meaning I have to do them manually one at a time.  Anyway, the theory is that I can create each one so that it is still 'owned' by the member who created it, however I'm a suspicious bastard, so I'd like to test that.

So, if you had a bunch of pictures uploaded before, and you don't mind running a test or two, post back here, and I'll convert yours ahead of the queue.  Then if you could try to edit / upload to it, and verify that the system allows you to, we should be golden.

Ok, theoretically all the picture albums have been converted to the new system.  If yours is missing, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Just checked my file and it seems to work just fine. All pictures are there. Great work!

Just checked my picture file and they're all there, but just all in one big folder rather than the seperate folders I had saved them in.
No big deal if this can't be easily rectified, I can probably sort them out sometime.

Sorry about that - the last software package used virtual folders, but still stores them all in the same folder.  Without doing some rather painful database digging, there isn't any way for me to see the previous structure.

Hopefully the folders isn't something that was widely used!

sorry, bit late to this party. Anything i can do/should be doing on an ongoing basis?

At this point, everything should be working properly.  There are a few theme related issues - like the background colours on the quick reply box, for instance - and some text is difficult to read because it's over the desert texture without a background.

So, if you find anything else that's borked, let me know.

PS: The spammers must be frustrated beyond belief.  I've actually removed most of the old restrictions in favour of the new spam database system, and they appear to still be running a ZERO percent success rate.  There are few things in life that present me with this level of joy... how I love frustrating low life scum.

I'm loving the new look anyway
