Numerous GPX file uploads not showing?

When I look at the WalkLakes GPS mapping page, and view my "GPX Uploads" via the drop down menu at upper left corner of the screen, the list shows only 15 GPX files uploaded to the forum, whereas I have actually uploaded 33 GPX files in total.

Fourteen of the fifteen showing in the list, have the upload date of 1st May 2019. - Presumably the date when they were transferred to the new forum software.

The fifteenth, and more recent file, is dated 18th May, which is when I actually did upload that file.

There does not presently appear to be any way to access the missing 18 GPX file uploads. - (For example in order to create 3D mapping or 3D aerial views of the tracks etc.)

The 18 tracks missing from that uploads list are obviously still on the system, as they can be seen when viewing their respective "Walk Report" posts, made in the Lake District Walk Reports section.

Can anything be done to "recover" the missing GPX uploads so that they do show when I view my "Your uploaded GPX files - GPX files uploaded to the forum" list?

Regards, Mike.

Ah, apologies. Yes, this is a side effect of the upload times (actually the last file modification times) being reset during the move to the new server. Where more than one GPX was transferred in the same second only one was being shown. I've now fixed this and you should be seeing all your uploads.

Sadly the real upload times have been lost. I'll have to see if we can find a better way to hold this information so that it's not lost of the next server move in four years or so from now.

Thanks Paul,

That's done the trick, and all uploads are now showing.

Regards,
Mike.
