Forum attachments problem (older files)?

[dgirard]

Hello!

I'm looking at several posts from October 2016 and older that have forum attachments.   All the attachments seem to be coming back with a page that just says 404.

Are those attachments lost to the ether?

An example would be pretty much all the forum attachments (especially post #11, but all of them) on this thread:  http://nutcracker123.com/forum/index.php?topic=1944.0

but I've found several other examples around the board of older attachments missing.

As one one of the Admins on this forum, I can tell you that I have personally cleaned up space on the attachments by deleting the largest attachments on occasion.

At one point, this Web-Host and account was also used for the xLights releases. When the disk space consumption was full, the xLights download page would go offline as there was not enough room for the log files for the website.

Now that Sean has moved the xLights page to it's own account, the Forum here should be able to accommodate long term attachments. Many were non-useful to anyone but the uploader and a developer for help.  No need to keep those around. Sure a few screenshots got caught in the crossfire.
