Hi all,

Silly issue but I can't get any of the images I added to the forum to delete.

I can add them with no issue, but deleting is non existent.

I click the box next to the image to have it deleted, click on the updated/remove images button and I get the message forum images have been updated but they are still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

What version are you running? Have you checked to be sure permissions are set correctly? I tested it locally with latest version on mine and it removed them fine

gliderdad thanks for the reply.

Running version 7.5.5

I wouldn't have any idea if the permissions are set correctly as I didn't set up the board. If it's easy to check for a non tech person like me let me know and I'll try to give it a whirl.

Thanks again.

If you have access to the CP (control Panel) click on that. At the bottom right you will see permission checks... click on that. It will show green for all the permissions that are correct and red for ones that aren't.... you can find the exact file by clicking on the link that is red and a drop down of exactly what file is failing the check. (if permissions is the issue that is).

Dunny,

Thanks for the reply, I checked this area and all are showing in the green as Ok....

Any other suggestions?

Not sure off hand if that wasn't the issue.. I will give it a thought and see what I can think of..

Humm,
There is such a thing as group owner permissions. Not talking UBB but for example ftp.
If your host changed them them you are no longer the owner of the file no matter what permissions the file is set to.
I have seen that happen on a windows server but not linux.
When you say you can't delete one, but can upload.
Do you mean all existing and new files will not delete.
FTP to the account and see if you can manualy delete one.
If you can see if the group setting is different from one you can't.

Good call Ruben I totally didn't think of that as a possible "false" permissions showing..that actually had happened to me before where I thought they were correct but in actuality they weren't.

I am just guessing here. Since we probably don't have all the facts.

Thanks for the replies.

I went and tried to delete the image I added recently and it indeed deleted.

I can't delete any of the old images.

Where would I look in FTP to see if I can delete the files? I don't want to go in randomly and start deleting.

Thanks
