Pictures fixed.

[Betty]

I don't know how long the galleries were down, because I don't go back to look at the galleries until I go to one to add some more. But today I noticed some of my friends & my avatars were missing, so had to find out why.

For some reason, probably during routine automated file maintenance or a software update many of the pictures & avatars somehow got moved into a third avatar & attachments folder. I created a third avatar folder almost a year ago for future use. It should have currently been empty & unused. But somehow a significant number of pictures automatically (I didn't do it) got moved to the third folder.

Our first avatar & pictures folder was quite large, so I created a second one a few years back. I moved the pictures in the third folder back to the second one where they should be. The board points to the first & second folder for all pictures, not the third, or some come from our other servers that serve our other sites.

I think it's fixed now. I will definitely check if our pictures are still here after the next software updates. I never had pictures move themselves after an update before, but did have other file paths change or broken after an update or automated maintenance.

Let me know if something's missing or wrong. I don't go through every bit & page of every site to see if something is missing every day. Sometimes a software update, or routine maintenance & cleaning breaks something. If you folks don't tell me about it, from what I view, or view as logged in as "admin" I may not see or know something is wrong.

Hi Betty,

I just went to the older galleries board and found the on the very last gallery, Mary Beth Sanford Images, all of the images from the first 11 pages are missing. Images from page 12 and onward are all there.

Thanks, I forgot about those 2013 posts.

Those are another story. I posted the messages that they're no longer there. Those 2013 posts had images from an older server with our 5dot3.com, or pearlcorona.com domains. They no longer exist. However all of those images are repeated in our other galleries, our youtube channel, & our archives of her page.

I probably should have deleted the whole thread & gallery, but it still shows images from our 2014 or newer servers.
