Where'd my attachment go?

[N!ck]

I had a *very* important PM attachment. I don't suppose the old PM attachments are stored somewhere?

PM attachment, not post attachment. I was receiving it as well, not sending it.

[Gary King]

I know, but I was suggesting that they might be connected.

Actually, I'm not sure whether PM attachments are a standard feature in vB3...this might be the problem. What I'm really hoping is that one of the wonderful administrators here will have a database backup or some other way of retrieving my file. It's very important. But thanks for your help Gary.

This is a very good point. I had some attachments in there which were important too.

The attachments are in the database. But PM attachments are not standard in vB3.

we'll write a hack to be able to post pm attachments again

but for old attachments: the pm system has been rewritten in vb3 and the old table has been dropped iirc, so we've no way of finding out which attachmentids were belonging to which pm's

No backups even?

[Xenon]

you have to ask chris schreiber, he does the backups i think

we do have all old attachments i think, just not which pm's they are belonging to..
