Title: Help finding old topics and images
Post by: JW on March 07, 2012, 06:37:05 PM

Hi All,

This section was created to assist members in finding their old posts diarys, whatever.

We know this can be a quite daunting task for members. Several other members of the forum including myself have been tasked with finding these old topic's and images.

Weve been thru many forum changes over the years, and some of these topics are hard to find again.

So im offering some help to users here. I recently have had a search function installed to assist me with this task. I been doing some searches and things are working pretty good.

When you make a request please add any "keywords" "username" "subject title" that can assist in your search. I will do my best to help with this.

Are all photo's removed from posts that are older than 2 years? Such as the last two shown in the reply from Ghurd?

Just checking to see if I didn't miss some kind of view setting.

Thanks,
CM

There was an issue with the images in the links Ghurd provided(and others) about 2 weeks ago, luckily we were able to correct the problem, so those threads should display properly now.

I received a question regarding this story:
http://www.fieldlines.com/index.php/topic,130346.msg848765.html#msg848765 (http://www.fieldlines.com/index.php/topic,130346.msg848765.html#msg848765)

My first post in that story is missing all the pictures but latter ones seem to show.   ???

Ive been hopeing someone would have some of the lost images.

Yes there is a way to reintegrate them. just need to know there actual file names, and they can be re-uploaded then and check the file name.

How many images do you have?

Can dig around with the 'waybackmachine' and find some of the 'lost' stuff...
