Hi lyn and all,
I have been replacing my photos to the threads which were lost on this forum. As a fairly new member I have only posted a few,I suppose I am lucky as some member have lost a large amounts like yourself, I have always enjoyed reading the post of all in respect of history and subjects of Birmingham no matter what district, for me it has always been the man/woman in the streets that makes the true history not just noble people of the past and thanks to members of this forum who have done in depth research on a given subject.
The photo's that I have replaced are on The Nechells Baths (using the new copermine system). I found out a way of reattaching my photo's which were posted on the thread, the way I did it was by using the dialog box, this box will open up when you click on the attachment that was posted on the thread but it would load the picture because they had been deleted to the virus, but it allowed me to take note of the picture file name or image number which was given on the right hand side of the box that corresponded to the file name or number on my computer files on the left hand side which gave me the date of post.
But admin has now removed this facility or procedure, it is a shame because for members like yourself it would have been a great aid and help in replacing the lost photos and images that you have posted on the thread, as it didn't matter to what subject and thread on the forum. It a shame the host hadn't backed up this forum up because valuable photographs have been lost for ever.

There was misunderstanding on that front between us and the hosts, We thought they did backups they thought we did.
Backups are now in place as a weekly scheduled event.
