Works for me. Can you show a screenshot of what you see?

I think I found a solution to the Attachment issue:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2453611


Issues involving attachments not showing, or not all showing, when posts with multiple attachments are posted or previewed,
Made the changes for "Issues involving attachments not showing"
Let me know if it works.

Problem with the forums is "https://" vs "https://www"
Already is set to do https to the best of our abilities.

afterRemoveWWW.jpg
Images show what happens when I click the link and second shows what happens when I manually remove the www from the address.
Note that both images show https already, the .htaccess files had already been edited for the https problem long ago.

The only solution I see is to directly edit the forums database and manually fix the old links.

Thanks Clinton.
The issue with Attachments looks like, at first glance, to be resolved. Yah!
Thanks for trying again with the http links. Was hoping it was a simple fix.

Ah, but there is a simple fix. :) It just has to be done carefully. I tested the database change on my local copy of the forums and it worked. Info used was part of the http vs https thread you linked, which also mentioned changing the www in the links.

The problem with "www.united3dartists" links has been fixed. The post text in the database was altered to use "united3dartists" instead. Now it does not log the user off when following those older links.

weird. Following the link you provided put me on the page in a 'signed out' state.
Searched the topic and was able to view it while in 'signed in' state; looks like I was able to edit it if I wanted to.
I see you are also online /viewing it, did you already figure it out/ are you able to edit now?
