As reported by Jenn, it would seem that we are missing many earlier images from the galleries.
I have now had a chance to investigate and within the gallery structure, there are currently 5 subfolders automatically generated.
Two of these have been emptied of their entire contents. While I back up the database and table structure, (preserving posts), it is not entirely practical to back up hundreds of MBs of images - a small disaster.
I do not know how this has happened, perhaps we ave been hacked as folders 0, 3 & 4 have images, 1 & 2 are entirely empty
The Christmas fairy may, however be partiallly on our side. Just before Christmas, I copied all images to another single directory on
www.lightartphoto.com to facilitate a 3D image wall. It is difficult to determine which images come from each folder, other than one by one from the BBS links, so I will try and copy all back to each folder, but this will take some time. This may or may not work, and will still pose an issue for thumbnails, but I'll see how it goes.
This is most dissappointing hopefuly we can recoup to some extent.
My apologies to all.
