I've created a Drop Box, students have uploaded files, and I can't find the deposits. Screenshot is attached.
Any suggestion (s)?

Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
FYI...My students can see their submission (s); however, I can not see what they have submitted. I can clearly see that there is a number (4) of submissions in the upper right corner. I click on that number (4) and nothing happens.
Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
Hi there. Your screenshot is quite difficult to see but I suspect you are using an older version of Moodle - 1.9 I have seen this error reported as an error with your database MDL-26284 - could I suggest you ask your host if they have done any upgrading of MySQL which might have caused this to happen? There is a fix in the tracker but it is quite a technical one. I don't suppose it is possible for you to upgrade your version of Moodle at all?
Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
Thanks Mary for the reply.
I am interested in upgrading; however, I am very concerned about possibly disturbing the current contents (my class is open and active).
When upgrading, do I stand a chance of destroying current data?
I am still a Moodle Newbie.
Moodle 1.9.12 (Build: 20110510)
Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
Hi there. Before upgrading it is always advised to make a backup of everything. There are procedures to follow for upgrading from 1.9 to the latest version and it also depends on whether your hosting company meets all the requirements for a particular version. Here is some information from the docs> http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upgrading

Thank you kindly. I will study and take action within the hour.
You are the best (the fastest too).
Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
For your Moodle version, the relevant document pages are:
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Upgrading
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_1.9
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Site_backup
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Site_restore
Whether your problem is Moodle version related, i.e. will vanish by going from 1.9.12 to 1.9.19+, is a different question!

Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
Thank you for the specifics. I am working on the upgrade.
Re: Can't find my Drop Box deposits (ADD ON info)
I should have put these two links at the top:
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Site_backup
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Site_restore
I hope you've taken a backup and tested restoring it before starting the upgrade.

You are welcome!
Just a side note. In case you see a button labeled "Useful" it serves exactly that purpose. Our ¡Muchas gracias! and ¡De nada! notes are sent to thousands of subscribers of this forum.
That reminds me of the title of this forum, is upgrading Moodle is a teaching method too?

... this time she found a little bottle on it, (‘which certainly was not here before,’ said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words ‘DRINK ME’ beautifully printed on it in large letters.
It was all very well to say ‘Drink me,’ but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. ‘No, I’ll look first,’ she said, ‘and see whether it’s marked “poison” or not’; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked ‘poison,’ it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
