Server 1 was hacked and restored a few days ago.
We all had to re-upload all the custom emoticons and avatars.

I think it might be possible that some files are missing

Hope you have them backed up if they are important.

Good luck

The so-called hacking as far as i know is a very simple hack. The hacker simply replaced the index files. Even a script baby can do that. So in other words, the attachments are not affected by that so-called hacking. The database and server files should be intact.

I guess if more people will complain about this then Limez will look into it and fix this VERY SIMPLE problem.

I posted on this as well (Missing images (attached to posts)). I don't see how database blobs are lost if the forums are backed up from the server. Any input from Forumer admins?

Server backups may only be applied server wide and are thus only used in emergencies. We are not currently aware of any damage or loss of data to the forumer SQL databases.

Doesn't the loss of these images count?
