    No looks like it affects 200 pictures and 40 members. I have an idea of what happened. I sent you an email.

    I think I was able to restore those pics. I sent them to you by email; please confirm that these are the ones.

    I look to see if I can restore them.

    That is crazy. Now the picture of my motor cycle is missing. The info box below it is still there, but the picture is gone..??? Is there a hacker at work or does the site have a bug? :huh:

    If its this picture, it shows up fine for me.
    http://mmb.maverick.to/gallery/showimage.php?i=10586&c=member&imageuser=13981

    Thanks for confirming that the pictures I sent are the ones that are missing.

    Its not hacker or bug its more of a quirk. It is due to how member categories are setup where a member can allow others to upload to their own categories. Members can also remove their own categories and empty the contents of it.

    In this particular case, a member created a category with the default options of allowing others to upload to it. The name of the category enticed people (dont know how to explain it better) to upload to it. The person who created the category saw other people's pictures and decided to clean it out.

    Im going to change a few options in the gallery to prevent this from happening again and I am working on a way to restore the lost images.

    I noticed that a while back ,when I uploaded some pics, thought it was strange that others were uploading into the same Gallery under different names. I figured I had gotten into something that I wasn't supposed to be in by accident or something, so i went elsewhere and left it alone! Never thought anymore about it since back then....

    I PMed a couple of members who lost their pics with instructions on how to re-add them to the gallery. If all goes well, I will PM the rest of the members on how to re-add the missing pics.
