Missing posts and broken images after migration


Recommended Posts

Posted

I’ve not fully explored the new site yet, but I checked the pinned ‘post your pedalboard’ thread in the effects forum, and not only have the last month’s worth of posts gone missing, but all the image links are now broken. I guess the new forum software uses a different format for image tags, but that’s a lot of old content affected that should be possible to fix with a bit of scripting!

So it appears that linking to external images with IMG tags is no longer supported whatsoever and the only option is to upload them? Seems strange that such a feature would no longer be available.

The images pre-move have become a bit garbled so you can either edit the link to fix it or add the pics again.

Ped, how do you put the editor into raw mode? This would be really helpful for things like this.

In that case it should be possible to fix all those broken posts! Far better to try and automate a fix rather than expect people to update individual posts? There’s a wealth of content on here that is now a lot harder to view. Same goes for migrating PMs from the old database. If there’s nobody on the team with the know how perhaps there’s a member out there willing to help? I might be able to get it done but I’d struggle as I don’t work with SQL regularly!

I do work with SQL regularly, it's my day job :lol:

Found an old post of mine with a YouTube link, edited and saved and it turned the URL text back to a working link. Didn’t embed the video though like the old site, is that not supported anymore?

Were you aware that deleted posts  have re-appeared?  Includes stuff deleted by mods.

Oh dear. Lots of political threads to clean up then!

BTW, couldn't seem to edit posts to 'fix' the images on mobile:  There seemed to be no edit button.  Worked fine on PC. 

Ok noted, thanks

Can you send me an example? Cheers

Sharkfinger sent me one - it appears some previously 'unapproved' posts show up to the user on some things. We're fixing now.
