Default Going from Database Storage to File System.
Does switching from Database storage to File System Storage Lose any data? Or does it place those image names into a folder on your server? Reason I am asking is Im trying to lower load on my mysql database because right now all avatars and attachments are kept on the mysql database. Will everything be intact if I change to file system?

you can go right ahead and do it m8.I did it the other week and all it does is store the attachements in folders on the main server.

You will not loose any data.

- It will make your database much smaller, reducing the risk of timeouts if you do a webbased backup.
- You will need to backup the folder containing the attachments from filesystem.

We did this a few days ago and I'm not aware of any lost data.

create a directory on your server: your_forum_url/any_directory_you_like/
and chmod it to 777

AdminCP -> Attachments -> Attachment Storage Type:

Move Items from Database into File System

Set the path to the server internal path not the url of above directory.

debug mode has no effect on this.

This actually recovered some stuff for me...

Had both avatars and attachments stored in the DB until today (didn't know there was another way to do it til about 20 minutes ago). Well, two weeks ago, we moved to a new server, and our avatars got messed up. Moved them to the file system today, everything's working fine now.
