errr... sorry... I meant the old thread that Carolus Rex (or Slowthinker?) was referring to in the A/C thread you mean... interesting because I thought it was in uBB format, but I also found it here in current foremat, in the civII forums.

And it's still there. Survived Markos scrubbing attempts.

I want to download an attachment from one archived thread but it is not possible.

Is it normal?.

Attachments in archives don't even show up for me.

I don't think that attachments in archives has worked ever since the change in format.


Attachments in posts are refered to by the postid, and not the attachmentid, and when looked up in the attachment table it wont find the postid in the post table to check what the attachment id is.

Example:
forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1837062
isn't found, but referes to
forums/attachment.php?s=&attachmentid=40082

I see two possible solutions: either make the attachment.php look in the archiveposts for postids not found, or change the url of attachments in the archive to the attachmentid.

Are you referreing to images?

In that case you are probably using a good webbrowser which doesn't show any placeholders for missing graphics (as for example Mozilla Firefox)

Yes and yes.

You can wait until Markos fixes it if he does. I don't have time to dig up IDs until after my exams...
