just merged from phpbb3 to mybb and everything went well, except for when I try to view an attachment in a thread.

keep receiving a corrupted content error for every attachment I try to view.

here's a screenshot of the error:
[attachment=25642]
have you used the latest merge system (1.6.3) ..

yep!


Attachments are known to be broken. They do not actually get physically copied over (and renamed) and thus you get errors post merge. See the sticky in this forum.

I don't see a sticky pertaining to attachments.

could I copy over the attachments from the phpbb folder to the /uploads folder to get them working correct again?
No, you cannot since they have to be renamed.
Not sure what happened to my sticky.... but you can always view all open issues here:
http://dev.mybb.com/projects/mybb-import/issues

Lastly (For the queries):
http://community.mybb.com/thread-84176.html
Would be the 2nd query.

said it affected 179 rows.

viewing a thread with attachments, it appears that it may of just removed the corrupt image.

for example:
http://shavenook.com/thread-sotd-feb-25-...392#pid392

and
http://shavenook.com/thread-sotd-feb-25-...560#pid560

but then this is an attachment that was inserted into a post that shows up fine:

There really isn't any easy way to do the attachments except take any that are broken and reupload a new copy of it. Also, thats an image using BB Code tags, not an attachment Wink

I went there, and I didn't see a single attachment in the thread Smile
I still don't. Probably because guests can't see attachments.
