Josif Toots DM'd me on Discord on the 31st to say that he had found his etkey file and has restored his XP on Beg#1 !!! 😄

Oooh! Look at the pretty little bug!

Starts in 15 minutes... @Element', @maecraes and others are already there, waiting for your Blood & Gibs! Later, via TBS, I also see @SEpI, @boki, @Sick, @TMcPants and @Lusciousdrunk there, along with players "El Fakinaso", "RAMBO_UK", and others coming and going! 😄 (I got "tied up" with other things. )

Yes, the website is hosted on AWS in the USA, via Amazon services. The page is in French, but searching for "lunettes de soleil" (sunglasses) returns nothing. They do seem to have a very few products in a few categories. 😄 Nothing about sunglasses, German or not, are to be found. I used a VPN to look at their site. I don't want to share my IP. I get enough 💩 sent to my email accounts, texts on my mobile and phone calls that never leave a voice mail. I do search the phone#s and block those with bad reputations. Oh, I forgot to mention Telegram, where I get PMs from people asking who I am, or acting like long-lost friends, or lonely women interested in me. 😄 At least my longest-used email account has vigorous spam-blocking, with methods to check them just to see if their blocker was "too enthusiastic." I rarely have to mark them "let them through, I do want to see them". Now I will have to check out "Shein"! 😄 Ah, YouTube is supposed to mark videos with AI-content with little (A) symbols...

I searched for "photo upload limits" and only found mentions in the Wiki and in the VIP store. Those pages may be outdated. "Personal photo upload limit will be increased from 30Kb to 100kb (for Gold & Silver, while Platinum is increased to 250kb). While "Gallery total photos increased from 50 to 100 and max single file size to 600Kb". No mention of max for Regular Users. ===================== So, it looks like the Max Size Pic file that a "Regular User" can upload IS 2,000kb / 2mb. You can post a link to the original pic on another website. If the pic-file is on your computer, best bet is to upload it to a Free pic-sharing site and then post the link to that here. You do not seem to have anything in your "attachment Quota", so you are good there. How large is the file that you want to upload here??? NOTE: The photo in the post above yours is 89kb and 560 x 750 pixels // 216 x 216 DPI. ADDED: Your warning about "2mb limit" made me realize why @TBAR Flash's videos seem to mostly be 1.86mb! He has posted many short videos and has almost used up his "attachment quota". I am working with him on how to remove his older uploads so that he can post some more, for the enjoyment of all of us! 😄

@philipjfry You should use this topic to ask for future help with your Silent-mod server. That will keep the history of queries all in one place. I can change the title of this topic to a more general one. Readers who have their forums to list "unread" will see it right away, when any new replies are made to it. 😄 I keep my first FA Tab set to this : Unread Content - Fearless Assassins and not the actual Home Page.

@Josif Toots DD replied that my idea is not possible. There are no "tools" in jaymod to do that. Your only hope is to find a copy of your etkey file from somewhere and copy it to your new ET installation.

I fixed my first title change, from "Jaymod" to "Silent"! I made a bad ASSumption! 😄

From your various posts on these forums, I would suppose that you are asking about the settings for YOUR own Jaymod server, not the FA ones. 😄 philipjfry's Content Your "XP reset to 245" reminds me of the settings on some FA Jaymod servers, where new players start with that much XP when they first join, OR if they have a new etkey file (->GUID), OR when they have been absent for 30+ days and their records were reset to 0 XP.

@Josif Toots I had not noticed that this topic was in a public forum, or I would not have used those words. I am apologize. That is what I was afraid of. IF the server had "burped" and its database had reset the records of many players & admins, THEN DareDevil could have "restored from backup". I doubt that the Jaymod developer wrote any tools that DareDevil could use to edit the "privately-formatted" database fields. It is not like Excel. 😄 It is "all or nothing", in that sense. Can someone provide a link to Josif about how to find and save off-of-computer his etkey file (and silent.dat) while you're at it? I believe that he uses ETL Client. I use 2.6b and am too ignorant of ETLegacy to try to help him.

Thanks, @DJ aka GDR DJ, this one made me really LAUGH OUT LOUD OUT LOUD!

Jaymod does not have a method of giving XP, like Silent mod does. In the past, when a Jaymod server problem caused loss of XP or admin levels on the Jay servers, @daredevil would restore all that database data from backups. Those "restores" always helped a number of players and admins, not just one. Josif made the Big Mistake, not FA. Some people are too quick to reinstall ET to fix problems and sometimes they make similar mistakes. If people "blindly" reinstall ET on any mod, then they will have the same problem with XP. By "blindly, I mean that they make simple assumptions about causes and do not search the forums. Reporting such server-glitches is always the "first step." ADDED: I should have asked @LindaCZ if she had lost XP, too, rather than just about Josif's.
