Is there a way to correct the "Uploaded By" name for Files?

I don't see any Edit capability for Files.

I note that all files that are jpg files did not in fact get transferred from Yahoo. The file name is shown but there is no file. Should this have been expected?

You say that you want to change file attribution. If it is should be your file, you can download it delete the record and upload again. And of course, if you give your members permission, they can do that with theirs.

There is update (paper and pen) and move (scissors).

You can edit the file name and the description. A little odd, but perhaps you can put the name in that way.
Or create folder with the correct owner's name and move them that way.
But you might lose information - better to put in folders with topics.

This is what *should* be transferred:

As Frances noted, the only way to change a file attribution is to download the file and have the person who owns it re-upload it.

Go to Admin>Settings>Features>Files and see if the "Allow photos in files" box is checked. If it's not, that's why they aren't there. You might be able to get at them but checking the box and saving your changes and then seeing if they actually did transfer, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

By the way, JPG images in the files area will not automatically display as thumbnails or slideshow images. If you click on one, it might display then, but that depends on your browser settings.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

The only thing I can think of is that you didn't have the box checked for "Allow Photos In Files", but I don't know that for a fact.
