Breaker of Things

I'm looking into this, I've done some initial tidying up to hopefully bring this back a bit more stable and will take a deeper look on the weekend to do some more clean up and get rid of the issue
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Break.

Thought this had been changed ages ago to 2 weeks.

Tried again without problems. It appears to be 'temporary' problem

I have just uploaded a photo at Wombat Creek Tramways without any issues. Trying to update Gumnut Gully I get the message 'temporary file is missing'.

We seem to be defaulting to 'Posts within 1 week' when clicking Recent, which is a bit of a nuisance as I've been away for a week and nearly missed some.

Any idea where to change it Ed ? I thought it was always set to one week and just click on the drop down and change to 2 weeks when I start to view recent.
If it IS possible to set it to 2 weeks that would be better !

As to forum stability.
AFAIA TSO Host sold out to another hosting company and all customers were migrated over to the new hosts. I think breakage looked, and it is still the best value around. Size wise, We are at the upper limit of what we pay for and to go up a bracket is a significant jump in cost, and so for where we are activity wise at the moment ? just no. The hosts still seam to be pretty stable although there do seam more down times for server maintenance than before. but to be honest I think most of our odd issues are to do with the shear size and Age of the database.
I know we were up around the file limit with the host a while ago and breakage did some re organising with both YMRC and other stuff he has on the server (I think he cleared a chunk of HIS stuff to make more room for us ?) but YMRC is a huge file structure with a BIG chunk of data. I did spend quite a few hours quite some time ago (Early last year maybe ?) clearing some old redundant clutter that was no longer relavent but we could probably do with another go at it. I'm not so much talking about layouts, how too's and general posts etc, it's more down in the reference stuff, prototype, transport, all those sections where quite frankly 90% of it was junk. I did spend time trying to repair broken links, replacing where possible with new links or where some reference material had completely disapeared finding something new to replace it. But it came to a point where to be brutally honest there was absolutely NO incentive to continue with it.
I'll see if I can find some time to start digging again.

Meanwhile we will keep on chuntering along

Cheers
