Hello BB .. have you enabled attachments as files in the VB3 backend?

Im gonna run this on my dev board then upgrade it to VB3 later.

I really wanna run it over at Short-media. Been live for two weeks and the forums db is over 300mb already :ermm:

Il let ya know how I get on. You are still on VB 2.3.0 aren't you?

You dont have much choice, bud. You HAVE to load the attachments back to the DB, BEFORE you run the VB3 upgrade. The Upgrade.php will process only attachments that are in the data base.

Then, if that part WORKS right, you can go thru the part that moves them BACK to files via the attachment manager functions. But, neither worked, for me.

And I kind of figgured that, if it didn't display them properly and showed all zero file sizes when the attachments had been moved back to DB. When I used the VB3 admincp "backend" (as you are calling it, I have no idea what you meant) to move them back out, of course that failed too.

0 + 0 = 0.

The attachments folder in vb 2.3.0 (yes, I got the attachments as files hack working there, too) is close to 1GB in size.

Any real insight into this matter would be very helpful.
