Just failed to download a zip file off one of my threads, 'Report'ed the post on Beta site as well.

On Chromebook, fine otherwise, doubt that's relevant for the problem anyway.

Thank you for reporting. I think this is part of the 13k missing attachments that is unexplained so far. If anyone else finds broken attachments please report them.

I've reported this specific example to IPS and will see what they say.

Hi @Big Mike,

Are you going to do anything with the WIKI? I know I tried to setup a WIKI for LOM but it was a PAIN!

Hi @Big Mike,

I plan to convert the wiki to what are called "articles" on the new platform. It will be a manual process...

The wiki never was popular on futures.io (formerly BMT).

Ya,

I have to tell you I avoided updating my Wiki whenever I can, it just was not user friendly... It seems like a better place to store "information", but too difficult to learn and implement if you only do it a few times a year.

@Big Mike,

Not sure if you are aware but in the "Pages" section of the new site, if you click on an article "Latest Articles" gets replicated 3 times and then the article was displayed.

I tried to figure out how to add an Article, but I might not be authorized, couldn't figure it out.

Yeah it's all just lorum ipsum defaults. Haven't looked at that much, I can check permissions on articles tomorrow

I'm currently waiting for IPS to give instructions to fix a few more issues, and then will be starting another conversion.

This latest conversion is supposed to resolve the Elite subscription transaction history, the missing smilies, the missing subscribed threads, and the broken "last page" of some threads. I'd like for it to also address the missing/broken attachments and am waiting for them to give further instructions on that.

Here is the known issues list:

Known issues to be resolved

Show stopping Critical
1. Image proxy/SSL/caching, breaks most IMG tags
2. ~~Elite Members user group membership not converted~~ (resolved Aug 7)
3. ~~User permissions (due to groups?) are showing conflicting info~~ (resolved Aug 7)

High
1. Screencast bbcode
2. Elite subscription transaction history
3. Downloads file sharing library
4. ~~User thread counts are incorrect~~ (resolved Aug 7)
5. Check into possible missing attachments during IPB 3.4 conversion (155036 vs 168782)
6. Cannot edit Elite Members usergroup due to ACP error (partially resolved by MySQL query Aug 10, need permanent solution)

Medium
1. ~~Custom user titles~~ (resolved Aug 7)
2. Private Message attachments

4. Mention user tagging bbcode
5. Thanks given/received data missing
6. ~~User signatures missing~~ (resolved Aug 7)

About to start a fresh conversion. Site will be unavailable for a day or two as IPS is going to check on it at a few stages during the conversion before proceeding to the next step.

Still waiting on IPS. The attachment fix didn't work, they are looking into it before proceeding.

The 13k missing attachments mystery is solved, they are in private messages:

Code

MariaDB [vb]> select count(*) from attachment where pmattach_itemid >0;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|    13706 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

This will be migrated over separately.

However, this got me curious:

Code

MariaDB [vb]> select sum(filesize) from attachment where pmattach_itemid >0;
+---------------+
| sum(filesize) |
+---------------+
|    7416157097 |
+---------------+
1 row in set (0.04 sec)

7.4gb in attachments in private messages??? That seems high, and I think people might be abusing this feature to share non-trading material. I don't have an easy way to investigate this, but will put it on my radar for later.
