Each time I upgrade my forum I lose all the avatars and need to reinstate them for everyone. This is a huge pain, and will get worse as I get more members.
Can anyone suggest a cure?

Re: Problems after upgrade
Can't understand that David - no one else has said anything, and I view it on a couple of PCs. Can you think of a reason? What can you see? Any chance of sending me a screen shot?Originally posted by davidundaliciaComment

Re: Problems after upgrade
Its posible that my wi fi cant handle all of your home page at once,
so I tended to ignore it.
I will send you 2 screenshots as I lose your header and continue with the rest of your page.....

Re: Problems after upgrade
Are they stored in the default avatar directory (Forum > Images > Avatars > Gallery)?Originally posted by limebrook1Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
No - I've checked. I uploaded them from my PC. Is this the problem?Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
Most likely, although it still seems a little odd. I'd try putting them into the directory and see if that helps next time phpBB comes out with an upgrade.Originally posted by limebrook1Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
Cheers Racefan - will try that. It is a pain as you can imagine! Actually I just checked and the photo you uploaded has gone too! Surely this isn't normal? (I am assuming that the way you would have done it would have been the correct way!)
Thanks for the advice anyway. They don't upgrade too often do they?????Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
Sorry, Trish, I missed this post. No that's not normal at all. When you upgrade, what steps do you take? It sounds like you're inadvertently affecting your database.Originally posted by limebrook1
phpBB upgrades on average once every three or four months.Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
I click on the upgrade link on Fantastico and it does it itself (forgive the non tech parlance!)
Every 3 or 4 months? I really must sort this out! Don't want to do anything to affect the entries I already have though.
Can you suggest anything? Sorry to be a pain!Comment

Re: Problems after upgrade
I have just looked at the forum again to load up the avatars and find my gallery avatars have completely disappeared too! I'm sure I've done something daft, but would love to know what!Comment
