	I need to find out who posted an album. Problem is that the admin of the pages deleted them, but now needs this information. I'm guessing it's too late to get this, but thought it worth asking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	If they've been deleted, the information is gone. A backup would be needed to get that information. ____________________________________________ Like Gallery? Like the support? Donate now!!! See G2 live here

	I thought that would be the case, but I was hoping for a lifeline like a log file or something. Thanks for replying. Wayne

	Your webserver may have logging (mine does). In which case you can recover the IP address the images were posted from, and compare to other uploads for which you do know the user and see if there's a match. That's quite forensic stuff though.

	Hi Alec Thanks for that, I'll see what we can find, it might be possible after all. Wayne
