Use WWF's default folder "uploads" for new uploads and member file management. And just leave the old ones there simply so they still show in postings.

Ahh.. that makes sense.. Thats why I´ve got all these folders.. I have changed the structure each upgrade, and now they´re all working individually?
 
So upgrading to version 9 I should use any of the old ones or perhaps a new folder?

Arrrg, to make it even worse.. I got this /root/images/avatar/ folder which is where all users avatars has been uploaded to. But I don´t see this structure in version 9 ??

Leave your existing folders named as they are so the links of images and files to postings continue to work. Members will not be able to use file manager on them anyway.

Hmm okay..
It seems like I got some serious problems with my folder structure. I have 3 different upload folders (one called Images, a second called fileupload and a third called uploads). I assume this has changed due to upgrades in time (6 years using WWF).
 
Anyway, the problem is not that I have 3 different upload folders. The problem is, I can not put them all into one folder only. If I remove picture files from one folder, they wont show in the messages no more, even though I change the upload folder in the admin panel.
How to get them all into one folder only? (mind you, this is actually a version 8.05 question, as I´m preparing the upgrade to version 9).

the option you can do is move a copy of the uploads folder outside the forum root folder, do the upgrade and slot those images back in, afterwards]]> Fri, 27 Jul 2007 01:47:09 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/upgrade-or-not_topic23960_post125575.html#125575 <![CDATA[Upgrade or not? : You´re right..

You´re right.. I was fooled by the lousy cache in IE, even though I´d hit CTRL + F5 Angry
 
This is not good, in my opinion. Specially since there may be a limit in the amount of space a user can use. This will most likely result in alot of message with red cross due to deleted pictures. Hmmm!

1) There wasn't a limit before so if in doubt I would set it sufficiently high to cover the largest existing uploader.
 
2) I tested and the message is not deleted but the image is. This results in a red cross...when you tested maybe the result was cached?

Hmm did a test in the... ahmm, testing area Wink
 
Seem like removing an uploaded picture from the filemanager does not resolve in a red cross in the message it has been posted into. Thats great.. No need to worry about that one then.
However, I think there is a problem, boRg. Hitting CTRL + F5 did not show the picture. I had to exit the topic and enter it again to see the picture.
 
Another small problem with uploading pictures. I couln´t make use of the markers to change the size of the picture inside the message body. Is this a bug perhaps?
