You could make it mandatory to replace the picture - or whatever it is that you are deleting - with a descriptive name which then replaces it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit unfortunate now that there are titles like F7 and X4 etc but I worked around it by adding other search terms and selecting "all of my search terms". Might be useful for others to know so I kept the post up. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand from a development standpoint why they did this, but it creates the problem outlined here - if a user deletes uploaded content used in a post, it is replaced with a broken image. In some cases, that can totally ruin a potentially valuable thread (e.g., pictures of a rare release). I'm planning on moving the forum's storage to Wasabi (think Amazon S3 but far, far cheaper) but haven't had the time to do so, and server backend stuff is not my strong point, so I generally have to get help with some of these things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Another workaround (though it means jumping 'outside' of the website) is to do the search term in google and appending the site: command. e.g. f7 site:forum.watmm.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a valid point... it gets into a gray area of "is the content you post on a public forum still your content or not?" I do think if the thread or post is deleted, the associated content goes too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
