How do we get in to our freight sheds to re-load avatars?
Or post pics?
Mine is still broke too.

Not a gremlin this time, but an attack. Sometime on Saturday, the site was attacked, and random directories and/or files were deleted. For example, every image in my main directory was deleted, but not the sub directories. Other people had everything, including their base directory deleted. Nasty, and hard to track down.
Yeh, but some of you can post pics and have avatars.

Actually if you can get into your freight shed you can add to it. Bob did restore my photo storage but only stuff prior to about 2006-7 or so. None of my later pix have been restored and of course I don’t know if they ever will. Also I have other photos stored on MLS and they post here just fine and photos from here can be posted there as well.
Check your freight shed periodically to see if Bob has restored your access. I added a “2010” file to mine but of course I can’t begin to remember everything I lost. I did repost my avatar so it’s working once again.

Here’s my FS:
“Path not allowed or does not exist.
desired path:”
Actually there must be a secret handshake I don’t know! Besides I haven’t figured out how to reach through my computer screen yet! I figure if I look long enough I’ll find that path!

I know that Bob did say that the deletions seemed random, meaning that some files were damaged worse than others and some maybe not at all. Just be sure that Bob knows that yours was one of those damaged.
I got the same message you got initially although my files may not have been as badly damaged as yours. I don’t really know. It is notable that none of my photos after about 2007 were restored which would imply that if your stuff was saved on or after that date that it has not yet been possible to restore your files.

/som/ting/wong/=nuclear\banana
Try that and note the key to it is the forward slash before banana…not sure though as I don’t have a freight shed
I must have forgotten the secret handshake. Bob taught it to me at his house in the spring, but the contents of MyFiles is gone, but I can still access it. I don’t have a freight shed, I use a web hosting service.

John,
I had the same message at first. I don’t know if Bob restored my access or if I stumbled across a link that wasn’t broken.
But it is working for me now.
You might try logging out, clearing your browser cache and logging back in.

I’ve got probably the most out there, but don’t plan to even bother looking until after the Invasion. Hopefully a restore is in the works.
My Freight shed is back.
Tells me I owe Bob a couple years of rent. Gulp!
Got the Avatar and Sig re-loaded.
I won’t re-load the missing pics. (Most of them were scrubbed from my pooter anyway.)
Bob, I don’t have any cash, but I have a shop full of trading stuff. Let me know your needs.
Crap,
Found out I was a deadbeat too 
Though not as bad as you, John 
So I made a payment.
Hope Bob can recover my photos.
Ralph
I thought I was paid up but I still can’t even find my shed,oh well.
all my pics are gone and I don’t have back ups of them. Very sad for me.
Bob if you ever find the person doing this I have 50 bucks if you let me kick the you know what out of them.
Still no luck with the Freight Sheds… I have logged out and dumped the cookies, logged in and tried the Freight Sheds, NADA ZILCH … Ahhh Gone with the wind… Oh well !!!
