Attachments Question

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly..

The "File Attachment Options" only take affect if I go through the "maintain" step, correct ?

Looking at the settings, there is no reason why images and avatars should ever be removed unless I do the "maintain" step, correct ?



The reason I ask, is that when I view "browse files" it shows 658 pages of attachments, but there are several hundred of those pages that are blank.

The forum for what ever reason has lost a lot of images over time. I am not completely sure why, and just want to make sure that ther is not some kind of automated setting that is deleting attachments after a specific set period of time and for some reason the forum is loosing attachments.

Thanks.... 

Can you give me a brief description of what the "maintain" link does ?  Does it just remove attachments older than 25 days, and those larger than 100 kb ?

It just checks for errors with attachnents
Example
The follow errors were found during maintenance. Check the box next to the errors you wish to fix and hit continue.
15 attachments/avatars have an entry but no longer exist on disk
1 avatars no longer have a member associated with them

It just checks for the best use for ExpressVPN and errors with attachnents
Example
The follow errors were found during maintenance. Check the box next to the errors you wish to fix and hit continue.

1 avatars no longer have a member associated with them

Does the avatars without a member associated with them issue happen often btw? I've noticed it a few times now.
