Hello. When I delete a post that contains an uploaded image or an uploaded file the files in the user's folder are not deleted along with the post. Is this an issue that would be addressed in the future? Thanks, Darren. P.S Fantastic product! |

That's a good suggestion. I have a lot of user attachments I'd like to purge out if no longer in use. Perhaps set a time limit?

Storing references to each file and image uploaded would be resource intensive, thus slowing down the forum. In the latest version, 7.7a, the time and date the file is uploaded is appended to the front of each uploaded file. This should help in deleting old files when cleaning your forum out. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

can you do a search in the message body for files that have been uploaded. If not is it possible to add text before a file is uploaded so we can seach the message for uploaded files? |
