Favorites disappear? - Closed

Hi--

This is not a big deal to me, but I'm curious as to whether it has happened to anyone else. A while back, I discovered the "favourites" file, (Is phpBB based in the Commonwealth, by any chance?) and put a number of pictures into it; probably 30 or so. After a few months, I went to add some, and the original 30 were gone--'poof!'

OK, no biggie. I added some more, and maybe had 10 in there. This morning, I went to add one, and the 10 were all gone.

Is there a certain shelf life for this file? It is annoying to lose them all periodically.

Hi, Anita -

Interesting question, and one I'm not sure of the answer . . . yet, but I'll keep researching. :-k

First thought that came to mind, though, was are you sure that the member(s) in question are still members? When I delete members due to dormant accounts, I delete everything about them, including their photo gallery.

Second thought, are you sure that the member herself has not deleted that photo from her album?

***huh***

Thanks for getting back to me, SilverLady. It wasn't just deleted members, because I had favorites from some that are still here now.
And I had one of my own in there, so I know that I didn't delete mine.
Since it seems not to have happened to anyone who's read the thread, then it will probably go unsolved.
