Sneakgab Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'm pretty sure I'm missing something extremely obvious here because I don't think Gob would decide to lock all the attatchents away ;DMy apologies for being a nuisance and asking what is most likely a silly question, but where can I view attatchments that have been archived?

Andrew Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I have no idea, my best guess is send a request to Gob, although I'm pretty sure he doesnt want to go through all the attachments, unless it is easy to find. (has easy way to find file) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad dib Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I'm not sure. I bet it is one of those Gob secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigel6669 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 but where can I view attatchments that have been archived?Is that not a nice way to say that the attachments have been deleted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 There is no other server to put it.Archived just means that its deleted.If gob said 'attachment deleted',someone might interpret it as an 'unacceptable attachment that must deleted' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I have seen Gob go back in tech support and get an archived attachment back, so I know he does archive the files. I believe he downloads and saves the attachments to a local machine when the attachments folder gets full and then removes the attachments from the webserver so people can continue to post them. The archive is not a feature that we can generally access unless you have a specific file in mind and you ask Gob to retrieve it. It's not an automated process.
