why

some files is not gone

[The E]

Yes, because they haven't been deleted yet. Attachments to forum posts are liable to be deleted at any time.

[WouterSmitssm]

please restore that
than can everybody see

[The E]

It is not possible to restore attachments that have been deleted. You need to reupload them to an image hosting service such as the aforementioned photobucket or imageshack, then link to the images here.

[BlasterNT]

This topic is just so surreal...

Can you take more pictures?  Or can you upload the missions themselves?

[WouterSmitssm]

i am not agree with that

pictures are not to great for this site
please put them back
i want its fixed
please dont be foolish

please put it back
and than its ok

[The E]

Wouter, we can't. The pictures have been deleted from the server. We (as in, the HLP staff) cannot restore them, no matter how much we may want to. I refer you to my previous posts on the matter. If you want your pictures to be permanently visible you need to host them somewhere where they will not be deleted. HLP does not have the capacity to act as an image hosting server, so you need to use a different one, just like everyone else.

Seriously, how do you think the rest of us does it?

Thread derailment removed -- that's not helpful, Darius.

WouterSmits:

Take more pictures.  Post them here.  Then we can save the pictures so that they will not be deleted.

The old pictures have been deleted and we cannot restore them.

[swamper123]

Talking about pictures servers what did you recommend?

[The E]

Photobucket or imageshack. I'm quite sure there are others as well, but those seem to be the ones used most often (unless you have a server of your own, of course).

[TopAce]

Imageshack has been acting weirdly to me, so I suggest Photobucket.

[swamper123]

Tinypic did you consider it as a good choice?

[The E]

I have no experience with it.

It was said several times, upload the images to Imageshack or Photobucket and the images will stay.

No, wouter. Just No. We CANNOT warn everyone who has posted an attachment of its impending deletion, because the deletion process is mostly automated. And no, we can not and will not make an exception for you. If you want pictures to stay up permanently, host them somewhere else, not on HLP. That attachments are a temporary solution should come as no surprise.

Any further demands that we fix this will result in a warning. While we do give you more leeway than most regarding your poor english and difficulties in understanding, there is a limit, and you WILL reach it soon if you continue on like you have been. We do expect a minimum amount of decorum and courtesy, even from you.

[Zacam]

As The E has correctly mentioned:

Attachments are NOT permanent and are ONLY temporary. The server does not have enough space to hold the website, the forums, the hosted projects and Mantis and all attachments for all eternity.

Which means that the attachments will fade off from posts. It is done so by automation, oldest to newest. That there is a message that informs that it HAS been deleted is the courtesy that you get (it is also an automated message, there are several of them that it rotates through, no ONE individual is actually responsible for removing attachments regardless what the message says.)

That being said, you are perhaps quite correct that there is nothing that explicitly states that attachments are not permanent and are only temporary. I will look into seeing how we can better address that or make changes so that such information is presented with the option to attach items to post.

Does anyone has his missions?  I never could download them for some strange reason
