Hi Stramm.
Thank you for a reply.
My dilemma happened by accident.
I was deleting a test account where users could test the gallery before signing up.
The check box at the bottom , in the users config page, where it automatically places a checkmark beside all user.
I checkmarked it by accident, then i continued to delete unknowing that all boxes were ticked.
At the next screen, first i seen all the confirmations and then i went pale, with sickly feelings.
I immediately contacted my isp, which is in America, had to pay $150 usd for a system restore.
I back up my database once a week but needed a restore point closer than 5 days.
So today, I realize the restore had been done but it wasn't complete some files where not restored correctly,
ie, in the folder /cortina/albums/userpics/, the users _vti_cnf info is there but there is no files in the users folder.
In the gallery this showed all the file info, views and comments, etc, but no thumbnail or full size pics, just the placeholders where the pics were meant to be.
This i realize is a problem i am sorting with the isp. Currently i have made 4 calls to the USA from Australia at a total time of 1.4hrs.
Eventually i will get it restored, but i am asking for the development team.
If its possible to have a pop up message that highlights the fact, the checkbox for all user's is checkmarked.
Also maybe a pop up to confirm deletion of all files and the effects on the gallery if that is what is about to happen.
I really enjoy the gallery and my users find it very professional, i have approx 35 users signed up since i opened it at Christmas.
(only 34 days old) with approx 3000 views registered.
Again thank you for the reply.
Bucster.
