Sinate Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 9/10 user posted images on the site don't appear. Is it due to them being older images and have been deleted? Example: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?s...=dash&st=90 can't see the image on that page or any other pictures of his car. I looked at them a few months ago on the site :) Also i am logged in, obviously. Cheers, Quote
SLO83 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Thats because the site went down and lost all the old pictures. Quote
78_7kRolla Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) mmm. it was a horrible couple of days. Edited September 25, 2007 by 78_7kRolla Quote
irokin Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Thats because the site went down and lost all the old pictures. They're not lost, just some were missed in uploading to the new server because of the sheer number of images. I will get it all sorted out eventually, just too many things on my plate at the moment. Edit: Actually theres something else going on there. Its on my list. Quote
irokin Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 OK I know whats going on. Because the old version of invision puts all the images in one folder the server seems to have timed out and only given a partial list of files. All images since 18/12/06 should be viewable but theres many thousands potentially missing posted before that date. I will check my secondary backup and see if it grabbed any more than my primary. Don't hold your breath but... Quote
irokin Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 So far Ive found about 6000 images (including the associated thumbnails) that have been missed and I think theres probably about that many again still to be found. I suspect there will possibly be a few thousand that are gone for good. Edit 26/9/07 4:50pm: Up to 8000 images now. Edit 26/9/07 6:00pm: Now at 10,000 images. Edit 26/9/07 6:37pm: 12,000 images. Probably another 1-2000 to go. Edit 26/9/07 7:30pm: Finished! 12,032 images Total Its probably going to take about a week to upload all this...! 1.63gb Quote
irokin Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 About 600Mb uploaded, 1.1Gb to go. Might be finished by tomorrow morning. Quote

irokin Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 All finished. I suspect theres up to 1000 actual images missing (not including thumbnails), never to be recovered. Its unfortunate but unavoidable. Most of these will be posted by users with an UID between 1090 and 1746. This ONLY includes images posted BEFORE 18th of December 2006. Quote
