this does not go down when deleting a post?.. also how does one make the gallery work, i mean i have it setup and set the attachments dir to 777 it does the post but it will not upload the file to the server?..

please help.

regards,

I have had this problem on a new install of the UBB while testing. When I had done an update from one ver to the newer one it worked properly.

What I had to do is access the server VIA command line, yes it was telnet and it was a secure link for those of you afraid to use telnet for rumors of your connection being hijacked and taken, and had to use the command CHOWN on the folders for the gallery then CHMOD.

After doing this the gallery worked perfectly. I think there may be a glitch somewhere in the software that creates the folders and permissions when creating a gallery in 7.3

thanks i will give this a try and let you know.

you know i am quite dissapointed that it has to be so fiddly to do anything what with all the file permissions to change and if you make a mistake the site fails.. also why does it have to upload to the admin folder? i have tried to setup the attachments folder outside the admin folder and it fails even with chmod 777.

someone must know how to do this simpler that changing file owner and chmod.

What operating system are you running on your server?

i have linux server with whm/cpanel installed i have no problems with other forum software ie vbulletin/phpbb etc.. all can upload image files easy..

well would you believe it it does work now after I mess around with permission a little..

but still with VB that would not have been necessary.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction though helped loads
