Later this weekend I plan on upgrading phpbb2 to the current latest version. This will hopefully fix some bugs I'm sure you've all noticed around the board.

The problem is this. There are two modifications to the scripts/templates/database that are behind the board: message sorting, and file attachments. Once I upgrade, they will both be unavailable for a short while. Message sorting is the easy one to fix. File attachments will be a little trickier...

File attachments that have been posted with messages will probably be lost during the upgrade.

I am not going to begin the upgrade until later this afternoon/evening (I will announce the time). I want to give everyone a chance to save anything they may want to keep from the attachments.

Thank you for your patience during this matter.

What I wanted to ask in the context of file attachments, I I'm kinda flooding the forum with photos at the Warhammer Log topic in my forum. I hope that is not a problem. I try to keep them as small as possible in filesize.

I know, I should have asked this before I started the topic but I forgot Embarassed

*Grrf* Okay, Whiplash, now that this change has gone into effect...

How the heck do I change my settings so that the default order is "Newest first"? I can see the option at the bottom of each page... but it doesn't take hold; every time I switch pages, it goes back to "Oldest first". Is there some place I can change that preference?

Also, the FAQ link at the top of the page is broken - gives an error message.

I have to side with Galadrion there. I'm used to have the latest post displayed first but I think I remember that Whip said something that not all of the forums funktions are back online yet so I hope the funktion to change that will come back soon Smile

BTW, the FAQ link indeed seems to be broken. I got the following message as I tried it.

I am aware of these problems, and I am doing my best to have them resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot, Whip. I think we all know and appreciate the work you're doing for us here. And we also know that it's a lot of work and that you do not get paid for it. We don't want to push you, we just what to point out the problems. If we don't you might think everything is alright and the problem never gets solved Smile

Again, thank you a lot, Whip.

Smile And that's the reason I posted it. An unknown problem is rarely addressed...

And allow me to add my thanks, too.

Ummm... I really don't want to complain but I would like to know when the file attachment and the option to choose the order in which the posts are displayed will be added.

I don't know much about this stuff so I have no idea what amount of work that is but I guess it's a bit more than installing a driver update for a printer. So, as said, I'm not complaining. I just would like to know the status of the work.

Thanks Smile

It's manual code changes, plus the time needed to test and install it. I've been really busy at work, real life, etc, and haven't had the time to dedicate to it.

Ouch! Okay, very understandable.

Thanks for the info, Whip.
