Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm new here and have never really understood the structure of these forum-things, whilst being VERY sure that they are a great thing. My question (which I think does relate to this thread) is: My searches often take me to a thread containing links to pictures, but the links don't work (Error 404 File not found). Eg Grandad's war desert collection in the General Forum. Is that because the member's album is closed to me? Or has been moved? Or? Thanks in anticipation. My searches for my dad's history have drawn a blank, so I'm resorting to skipping through other people's pictures, to see if I can see him or something familiar.
This forum is now rather old. We've changed software a few times. Links often get broken due to these moves.
Hi If you meant this, post 4, Grandads War Desert Collection then that's unfortunately as a result of software change a few years ago, when attachments were lost in the process. Some internal links are also broken, for the same reason, but these can easily be found by searching eg for thread title. Things are a lot more stable now, thankfully.
Now I'm really confused. I posted a reply here yesterday (saying, among other things, that I don't "get" discussion boards) and now I can't see that post? Is it sat awaiting moderation? Or did I do something stupid? dbf, mod edit: posts moved from List of Links Restored.
I moved your post to create a new thread, you should've received a notification about that. Sorry if you didn't. Broken Links This thread is about something different - a list of links to websites that might be of interest to forum members, ie Links dbf, mod edit: moved from List of Links Restored.
OK, thanks. For the record, I didn't receive a notification, but it's not the end of the world. dbf, mod edit: moved from List of Links Restored.
That is the correct thread, but I can't see the photo associated with post 4 (or the next 99) because, if I'm reading this right, there is/was a limit of 100 photos in the profile album. So von Poop suggested (post 128) that jj26 start to make them direct attachments from that point on. Which he did do and which I can see. So my original request still stands, though I can now refine it a little, as I understand a bit more. "Can I see photos, which were originally part of a member's profile album?", now that the original links no longer work?
Hi No one can view images, for reason already given. Images, incl old "profile albums" no longer exist. (Am going to move your other posts, currently in List of links over to this thread)
Does this mean that the present software is about to be changed again? It may be my new hub, but it seems to be rather slow to show different threads.. Stu.
