	Problem when viewing files Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

When I try to view my files Poly claims it is empty, it shows just like it is empty. However links to this files work, so I think they are not deleted. This is with new upload service. But I can prefectly view older files. Is there a problem with new files being stored in different location?
And yes, this has never occured to me before, since I was able to view them (new files) before.

When I tried to link one of my recently uploaded files it didnt work. But I can put links to "nonexistant files " for which I know they are there.

No.

Here is the "invisible and unexisting" photo for example.

Had the same thing a couple of days ago when a ZIP showed up without a ZIP extension, however the person who posted it, tried again later with a RAR file and that one worked perfectly.

FWIW, that invisible and unexisting picture you attached above doesn't exist for me either.

Maybe he was trying for a block with the word 'image' on it.

i'm not sure what you mean by "links to the files work"

Older files that I uploaded there, but Poly shows like they there are not here. Bit when I put an image link to file for which I know I uploaded there before, Image works. It still doesnt show on list files. However all files I upload after I discovered this problem do not work no matter what I try (like photo up there).

I use that already. When I try to view my files it shows me nothing even as I know they worked fine before.

Anyway this still doesn`t explain why others cant see my newly uploaded files. Anyway, as I see from this list, one file that I uploaded is not here! If this is not in my files then where did I upload it? It is named borg-symbol.jpg I think! These are all files form time I could upload and work with this files normally. Seems to me that Poly uploads my files somewhere else.

BTW, he's not the only one with this problem. It seems that graphics which have been uploaded recently (I'm assuming since the new version of the Upload service), do not display, but appear as a link to the file (in my case). Attachments work fine, but multiple images embedded within a single post are ruled out. Embedded images work fine when they're hosted by an outside server; the problem only exists for files uploaded here. I have no problem viewing the files within the Upload section.

	Inflate your Upload Space

Since several functions bonked all around the same time the new search feature came online, it looks like this an IT problem due to the many, varied hacks that have to work together to make this site work.

Something in this new hack doesn't play well with some of the previous hacks. Hopefully, the solution is coming soon.

This "problem/reality" is something to think about when the time comes to start the voluntary no-ads program.

The nonexisting image you tried to show us earlier is truly nonexisting according to MarkG obstructor. Maybe we should try something that is in his list like this:

AFAIK from what obstructor told laurentius and me when he first discovered the problem was that he could see the pictures he had already uploaded, but that he couldn't upload new ones. IIRC when he tried to upload the borg symbol, the supposed link to the picture was:
http://apolyton.net/upload/view.php...borg-symbol.jpg

Notice the lack of his ID number, which appears before uploaded files under the new system. I then suggested him to try out the url with his ID number put in front of it, like this:
http://apolyton.net/upload/view.php...borg-symbol.jpg
But as you can see in obstructor's second post in this thread, that doesn't work.

I wonder if he's confused about the old and new uploads. The old uploaded files will still be there, but not in the same place as the new uploaded files (thus he do not see his old files in the new file list). And the url will also be different.

Hmmm not correct either. Not sure if I have the right link though.

HongHu I know this. I am not incompetent. I have files stored both at new and old locations. But any new uploaded files after a certain date seem to be uploaded... into nothingess. This is just an example of it. It doesnt seem that my file is uploaded into my files but somewhere elsewhere. As you pointed out with one of my pics, it is stored in new uploaded files location but works. However the Borg symbol for example doesnt. Hopefully this will be fixed soon of 3D will suffer.

EDIT also the url scripting is different for new files, but it didnt seem to affect my files before.

Yea Poly seems to be having some problems with the new features. I don't have a problem in uploading and I have uploaded quite a few files. Just uploaded a couple files last night and they seem to work. But I'm still having problems with "my threads" and other people seemed to be fine with it. So this maybe the same problem.

Well I uploaded normally and suddenly it doesnt work. But My threads work perfectly. If we could only exchange our Poly problems...

the new search system has nothing to do with uploads

for the uploads, it seems that a change must be made so that some cookies are not demanded...

You got it Marcos. I don't understand it why it can't be made so that no cookies are needed. Welll I forgot for what junk I allow cookies from Apolyton, but when I am not logged in I see a lot of unread posts even if nothing should be indicated when I am not logged in, so I have to delete these junk cookies manually.
