Hi guys,

Hopefully someone can help me. I am a member of a forum which runs the Vanilla software and I was wonder if there is any way I can get my old avatars bak? Once I upload a new avatar are my old ones automatically deleted? The boad admin aren't bery forthcoming at the moment.....

Yes, the full version of your avatar gets deleted, only the thumbnails stay on the server.

In this forum you can't reuse an image you need to re upload. The images are stored in a data base and associated to the User Id . There is no folder for specific user photos.

If you want to recuperate the photo it may still be around in a cached page . Try this browser extension for firefox

Thanks for the replies. is there a certain number of thumbnails that get stored do you know? Or do they get deleted after a length of time. Maybe if I ccould get the thumbnails I could to a Google search to find thus particular image I want. Thank you.

IIRC, thumbnails are stored until manually deleted.
