Thanks, trying to find a better host.

[Illori]

check the hosting board here for some suggestions.

[clothahump]

Found another host, sites will be migrated in the next few hours, lets hope it is a better server this time.

[Illori]

who are you moving to?

[clothahump]

http://www.justhostme.co.uk

They have very good feedback and are moving my 18 sites for free.

[Illori]

they are not an overseller so that is a plus. you will see how well their server works.

[clothahump]

There is too much choice out there, took me ages to decide on giving them a try, nice thing is their servers are on a quick connection.

[Illori]

the repair process has completed, your forum now says you have 20208 attachments. although under file maintenance it says you have 9842 attachments.

[clothahump]

Wow, thank you very much, I should be able to adjust those figures by deleting the missing images from the posts now.
Once again, thank you.

[Illori]

you can also disable my account now, this way i will no longer get emails about your new members.

[clothahump]

Account disabled, now the wait for the server move............

I have found defaultMaxMessages in DB set to 15, I reckon it is that but if I change to 150 that will affect the main forum as well, I might take you up on the offer if I am unable to find another way round it.

Just went through the topic and if you want to increase that to 150, it might impact the server. Try it with 100

Make back of the file before editing it

Sources/ManageAttachments.php

Search for "function list_getFiles" (without quotes)

In that function line 23 (or overall file line 506)

Code (Find:) Select Expand

'per_page' => $items_per_page,

Code (Replace it with:) Select Expand

'per_page' => 100,


Note - Don't forget to change it afterwards.

I tried this the other day and it made no difference but since then if I click Recent Unread Topics I get a list of 52 items per page, how and where do I change that?

[Joker™]

Well the code I gave you doesn't change anything on recent topics page.

Administration Center » Posts and Topics » Topic Settings -- (Number of topics per page in the message index) check that value.

Moreover I'm interested in the fact is why the code refused to work. Give me few hrs to debug the code at my test install.

[clothahump]

It gets better, or worse depending on how you look at it.

Worst.

What happens when you revert the manual changes I mentioned in the file?

[clothahump]

Nothing, I changed the file back when I realised nothing happened.

[Joker™]

If you are comfortable with phpmyadmin, then go in there and run this simple query

Code Select Expand

SELECT *
FROM prefix_settings
WHERE variable LIKE 'defaultMaxTopics'

Replace prefix_ with the prefix you are using for you SMF database. Post the result displayed in value column over here.

Moreover whats mods do you have on your forum?
