Broken attachments

Post by spiritovod »

It seems all latest attachments, uploaded within a day, are not available and producing "The selected attachment does not exist anymore" upon clicking. Older attachments are working fine though. I wonder if someone else is experiencing the same problem - or maybe it's somehow related to expired SSL certificate. Checked with different browsers and devices, so it doesn't look like local problem.

Update: With updated certificate newly uploaded attachments works again, but old ones are still broken, for example, from this and this topics.

Interesting.
So I checked the problem yesterday and apparently it was caused by a migration done that day.
I have just attached a file for testing if the problem affects only the attachments in a specific range of time uploaded yesterday or i it's still here.

Ok it works with new attachments.
Better to ask the few people who uploaded files yesterday to do it again.

Thanks for clarification, I hope those few people with broken attachments will reupload them eventually.

I found only two posts with attachments not working so I asked them to reupload.
If you find others please ask them the same.

aluigi, sure thing, but I'm afraid it affected some older attachments as well, I've found a few posts from 13 up to 19 May with broken attachments as well.

Let's hope the problem is only limited to those you found.
Ah thanks for having warned the users of the missing attachments.

Not sure if it's just me but... wasn't zenhax a bit faster before?
I notice some slowdowns like pages taking more than one second to load and sometimes they even freeze.
Hope it's just me!

Nope, I also noticed that, but it's not severe for now and can be easily ignored or even unnoticed sometimes. Also, after that "migration" there was a problem with forum icons and some other graphic elements, but cleaning browser cache resolved it.

The hoster told me that everything should be back to normal starting from next week (being pessimist I guess from June).
