I uploaded these before the gallery came on line but they're not in my gallery.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/208010.page#247967

Any way to locate them and move them to the gallery?

IIRC I put them in the photodump forum but in a new thread, not my original one.

When the import was done, the server crashed a couple of times due to the extreme load. We had about 300 photos that were lost in the crash/not imported so chances are that is what happened. The importer was a special one-off program that cant be run again so my only recommendation is that you re-upload the photos to the gallery I'm afraid. You can cheat and use the URLs of the images in the thread you linked to import direct from dakka instead of downloading/uploading again though which should make it a bit simpler/faster.

Also remember that at first we were deleting GW copyrighted art from the gallery so there is also a good chance it got nuked manually.

That's one of the reasons we left the photo-dump forum up for as long as we did so that anyone could identify any images that didn't get transferred properly and re-import them into the gallery, but it looks like that didn't happen.


Lego: The one problem I see with him re-uploading them from that forum post is that they are only the thumbnail (compressed) versions. It doesn't seem possible to get back to the full-size versions in any way, correct?

No problem, I have the source files on my hard drive and can upload them when I have time.

Just thought it would be easier if they were hiding somewhere on the server.

thanks

Full size versions can be found by deleting the _thumb from the end of the filename (might just be deleting the thumb, might be __thumb - cant remember for sure )
