Upgrade gone wrong

I was attempting an upgarde of the phpbb code from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2 because I felt 2021 had started off too smoothly (sarcasm). It didn't work. I was able to restore from backup (good call all you guys that requesred and even paid for the backups). I didn't have to restore the database (just the core html type files). So, I think all posts are still here.. there's a chance we lost stuff from the past 24 hours though. There isn't anything I can do about it, but let me know of there is a recent post "gone" now.

It was down last night, but I did not notice anything missing, so I put my pitchfork away.

Oh, someone reported missing attachment on the Electrical forum.

ah, that makes sense about missing attachment. those files aren't put in the database. The database has the text of posts, but attachments upload as files. Not much I can do about it. attachments from January 7th will need to be reuploaded. sorry.

I have found that I cannot upload JFIF pic files, but I found a work around by opening the pics with paint and re-saving as a jpeg file.
Not sure why most of my pics are being saved now by WIN10 as JFIF! It occurred after an update.

I just added .jfif as an allowed file extension. Should work now. I've never heard of that file type, but a quick google says it should be legit.
