Storing member uploaded pictures

[Denny]

I ask this question here, because I could not find anything similar to post in.
I am using subsilver 2, and at present, all the pictures that members upload go into the file folder. That's fine, but, I recently had big problems. I installed a fresh copy, and di my backup to get it all set again. How ever, all the pictures do not relate to that folder, and they will all have to be uploaded again. Members not happy. Is there another way to do this, and be able to relocate the pictures so they will show. I no longer have that file folder, it's gone. Please help. Thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Patrick

Thanks Patrick. I never did find any info on this. And since it goes into numbers, I don't know how to do this at all. Thanks for the efforts though.

You said you no longer have the file folder - does that mean you no longer have the picture files themselves? If so, there's nothing you can do here.

Yes, I understand that part. But, even having the file folder, I cannot relate it with the repaired forum. It shows the numbers, and it's there, but, you can not see it. It cannot locate it, because of the encryption. In other words, if I saved the file folder, and installed a updated forum, same kind as I had, I cannot use the file folder from the old one, because the update does not match the one I had. I hope I explained that right.
