An old thread (Jul 24, 2010) it says:

IMG NOTICE: [NOT AN IMAGE URL, NOT RENDERED INLINE]

Where my previosly uploaded image was. When I edit the text, it says this:

IMGtag https://photography-on-the.net …119286&stc=1&d=​1280020025 /IMGtag

Does the POTN host only go back so far?

That looks like a link to attachment. All the attachmentd that are images (and passed security check) were converted, so you'll probably find that attachment from the linked post.The linking was done by a script in vb, so it is not easy to find by it, I checked from database:

That linked post is here:

I've checked my posts and I haven't found a single one of my attachments that was successfully carried forward. They got translated as, to take one example, "[IMG]http://photograp​hy-on-the.net/forum/attachme​nt.php?attachmentid=28​19[/IMG]"

I did some checking:

There are 354 attachments imported for you in your posts:

The oldest:

That IMG stuff around attachment.php is not done by AMASS updater. Perhaps it was some very old way to refer to orphan attachments (AMASS is the third or fourth software change to POTN, remember :)).

What AMASS has converted are attachments that are images referred in vbulletin attachment database.

In vbulletin attachment database you have 367 entries. So 13 of them must have been ignored by the updater as failed to convert to jpeg, containins some bad data or not an image file format. Also very small gifs were not converted.


Would you like a list of postids where those 354 attachments are?

I'm just about complete with search IMG database update. I'll do the rest tomorrow and then IMG search should find more.
