Hey all. I'm preparing to do a real big server upgrade and move for ES.
In PHPbb, there's an option to 'delete orphaned attachments'. I run this once a year to keep our file storage down to a rational size.
I suspect this feature is imperfect and deletes images that are in actual posts.
The era of posts affected by this is 2019-2021.
Let me know if you suddenly see something missing. IE a section of a thread's images have gone byebye.
I will be keeping a copy of the images from before this change for at least 6 months, so if we have issues, this is revertable.
