I somehow managed to upgrade Coppermine, but it still didn’t work. After some blind tinkering (and I mean, really blind, as I haven’t the first clue what the hell I’m doing), I got it working. Of course, all the database tables are mangled, so now I have to decide if it’s worth messing with trying to re-upload all 2000+ files. It means more work for me, but the benefit is that the image files I display here will be about 1/10 to 1/20 of the size of the ones from Flickr. If you aren’t on broadband, this is a big, big deal. Even with broadband, it means slow loading times and being at the mercy of the whims of Flickr.
Of course, I could also get everything re-loaded only to have it crash on me again.
