FB2 Question...(back to index)If I were to delete some of the thumbs on the archives, will that mess up the whole thing or will it just rearrange itself? Also, what if I delete random images throughout?
I'm using FB2 version. Thanks for any help.

Also, I meant the actual images will also be deleted, along with comments and any text. I'm assuming that I have to manually delete the images, thumbs, and any text and comments that go with the corresponding images. Thanks.

Nothing will be messed up — the photos will just be removed from the rotation automatically.

Another question...
The deletion seem to have gone smoothly, however, I noticed that when I post a new image it starts appearing where the old image were. I've double checked everything - thumbs, text files, etc. I've also checked the wiki and the rest of the board but can't find anything. Has anyone else done this besides me? Thanks.

How are you sorting? By date or name? That could be the culprit.

by numbers, starting at 001. But then, 001-008 are the ones deleted. Now that I'm on 062, it placed it below 009. I'm wondering if I need to change the numbers.
If you don't mind, what would happen whether sorted by name or date?

dm, in vars.php what is $sort set to? If you are naming your files 001 (etc), change $sort to 1; if you want your files sort by the file modified date, change $sort to 2.
It sounds like you have $sort set to 0, which just returns the files (unsorted) in the order your server lists them.
