(Attachment Link)

Well that's a FAIL.

I don't get it.  We have tons of existing messages with the ' [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] ' in the thread.  Why is it when the forum displays the message, it will just insert the image #1 from the available files which were attached?

I mean, modify the the display of posts to fetch and change the ' [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] ' to '[ img ] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] [ /img ]' during display.  This way, all existing previous posts throughout the past few years since the first bug existed will all now display correctly.

I mean, do not modify any of the current attached file code.  Do not modify the current 'attachimg' inserted text.  Do not modify existing posts, just make the swap during the display of each message as if it were the '[ img ] [image file name] [ /img ]'

In other words, if done the way I say, the original post you made will self-fix as well as all the other posts.

I don't think it's that easy, as that's exactly what the plugin is supposed to do I believe. The problem someone quite complex about database syncs and the wrong image being displayed.
The forum server is actualyl two database servers for redundency and performance reasons, and IIRC something got all out of whack with SMF.

Are you referring to the limited page width that many Xenforo communities use?

That can be toggled, at least in one community i'm a member.
Reduced width is the default though, and i find it significantly easier to read. Full width on a WQHD display is a lot more difficult to read, at least for me. Likely for a similar reason that newspaper articles are laid out in columns instead of long lines.
The neat thing though is that the width scales depending on screensize. On an iPad for example, the page is automatically full width.
magic:
1. dragged into the box
2. selected with "browse"
3. "more attachments" and "browse"
4. dragged into the box
5. "more attachments" and "browse"

edit
Well, it reordered them a little ::)
This plugin poorly integrates with SMF's built-in attachment management.
How hard was it to get that right... |O

6. bonus
magic:
Well, in all fairness, it's not a serious problem.
Either ignore the new upload plugin and use the old boxes like before or ignore them and upload everything through the plugin.

I guess I just like to make fun of crappy software :P
