When I logged on today, most of my 124 photos attachments were gone!

I went to the User Control Panel and looked under Attachments. All 124 photo attachments are listed along with their file size. However, when you click on most of the photo attachments, the error message says "The selected attachment does not exist anymore."

What happened to all these photo attachments?

I put quite a bit of time into trying to make my Rumbles Tiger 700 Build thread more engaging with lots of photo attachments.

Please Help restore my photo attachments! :BH:

It looks like photos lost in the server crash will have to be added back to posts manually.

I understand that server crashes happen, but isn't there a backup that can be used to restore the lost attachments?

How do I contact technical support of this forum website?

The site had not been backed up for over a year. If you want the photos reposted, you will have to do it post by post.

Yikes!

My thread started on May 12, 2017 and I lost all my photos. So the forum was not backed up for over 2 years!

I realize that this is a free forum, but regular automated backups still fit under minimum support.

I don't have the time to find and re-attach the 124 photos, so that's a permanent loss.

I'm guessing that forum backups are still not happening, so I will backup my own threads regularly going forward.
