Uploads folder

[Genestoy]

I just noticed that there are no new "monthly" folders being added to the uploads folder since upgrading to 4.1.9? Where are the posts/files/images stored now?

Thanks

As far as can see I still have them for 4.2.2

Now I see what they did

Used to be - monthly_06_2016

Now - monthly_2017_06

So they were not in order with all the older folders from before the upgrade

Thanks for the reply steve00!

ADDED: Perhaps depends on how server setup as live site is as you state and my test forum is as I state .... weird ?

I upgraded from 3.1.4 and that is the way it was then

I seem to recall "monthly" folders were added at 2.2. (or 2.3) stage, possibly a fraction earlier. Prior to that it used to just have them all in one directory without splitting them into monthly directories...

/end of the history lesson.

Yep, you are right Andy and I still have files in the uploads folder (not in their own monthly folders) from the "early days" of IPS!

I have not experimented with manually moving them over on 4x. I do recall trying this on 3x at some point and it did not update them, mainly what were 'avatars' at the time.
