I came across an obscure feature I'd never seen before that is an archived collection of your uploaded attached images. Not sure if anyone really cares, just wanted to report a weird artifact I didn't know existed.

When in the process of creating a reply with a picture attachment using the "manage attachments" direct upload feature, my browser crashed & I lost the post. I re-created the post & started to upload the picture again utilizing the same feature; I got an error message saying picture was already in process or something similar and it referred me to a clickable link.

When I checked the link it took me to an archived collection of all my direct-upload image attachments.

The link was http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/profile.php?do=editattachments&pp=20&page=1&showthumbs=0&userid=5957

5957 happens to be my unique user id on 'Prime - you can find anyone's user id # by looking them up on the member directory by placing the cursor over their screen name. Just substitute the identifier code with your own (or anyone else's for that matter - they're all publicly available, just like your gallery pics)

Note: when trying to replicate to find the link by using the same upload image again, this time the error message was simply that it had already been used; so I really just stumbled upon this by accident of circumstance.

Edit - well apears there's a simpler way to find this - it's in your User CP, the last item in the menu on the left under miscellaneous!

I care... I even cared enough to read your post. And I even care enough to post a "hug" smiley". <IMG SRC="http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17093&stc=1">

However, I was also ready to point out the 'Attachment' option in the UserCP. :D And the Forums Nazi was ready to post a list of other threads too... ;)
