Is there still any support for this hack? I have a few questions...

Firstly I would like to know if this supports attachments with the same name? If one user uploads a picture called "image.gif" followed later by another user uploading a different attachment with the same name, does the original get overwritten? Or is this handled correctly?

Also, what is the best way to maintain and prune these attachments? If I go to the upload folder and delete the attachments I no longer wish to keep, is the code smart enough to notice or will my pages be full of the dreaded "little red X" ?

Alternatively is there another way of maintaining the attachment store? On our forum we don't wish to do regular complete purges of attachments - there are some old ones we may wish to retain (semi-)permanently but others we wish to purge out regularly.

Any help would be much appreciated - our current attachment datebase is rapidly getting out of hand!

I used to use the old "admin functions" hack which allowed attachments to be deleted from the database from ACP - but because of a change in my ISP's caching/proxy strategy, this now has to reload the list page everytime rther than returning to a cached version and so it has become almost impossibly slow to go through and selectively delete many attachments.
