Missing images

For whatever it’s worth, we know they’re not gone gone, just visually gone. Individual users can restore their own by deleting and restoring their posts, but that’s only 5 per day per user. Lesley knows about the issue and is also working on it with Discourse.

and if it’s not too old a post, you can also edit (add period or whatever) then hit ‘save edit’. I got a few back doing that.

On my second image, I had to wait 26 seconds before I could delete/restore. Third image, no wait. Fourth image, `12 seconds. It didn’t take me long to find the posts that needed restored, so not sure why I had the odd wait times.

The The Mighty Fan Art Thread! is in rough shape too. I thought maybe with my regular powers I could try something. Then I remembered I can’t edit other people’s stuff or delete/restore other people’s posts. Maybe if I yank the whole topic? I got something I can still try…

Edit: Crap. Pfutzing with the topic, changing category had zero effect. I was hoping to jolt all the posts at once, but no dice. Oh well.

Odd. I always have to wait 60 seconds between. I wonder what the difference is.

Another method that restores images, though it’s a pain: Quoting. The images below are missing in the original thread.

How very curious. That kind of makes sense though, given that the images are visible when you go to edit your own post even if the images are missing.

I am still working on finding an easy fix for this bizarro problem, friends - I don’t have an answer yet but wow do I ever appreciate your dedication and diligence in trying to find a workaround in the meantime. :pray:

I’ve included this for ironic effect. Laughter is the best medicine.

I don’t care about my images, but I’m dying to see the MST3K themed wedding! The video is great too, but no pix!

If you go to your post on the Introduce Yourself Here thread and ‘delete’ your post and then ‘restore’ it, the original pics will reappear there.

Just don’t undermine your mod’s authority by constantly calling them variations of "Dark One.’

Well, an example here to illustrate the problem. First a shot of my post with the missing images. I’ve shown the link forone of the images when I hover over it. When I try to use that link directly, I get a “403 Forbidden” error. Hope this helps with the troubleshooting.BadLink

Looks like old images are gone again. All my storyboards from July are now :skull: :skull_and_crossbones: :ghost:

EDIT: Delete and restore worked. But it gave me a fright when it told me I’d performed the action too recently and to try again later and the little restore icon disappeared (it came back when I refreshed by browser)

AW JEEZ. I’ll circle back on this again.

I’ve been looking around and I think anything I restored is still there, so it may not be super widespread. Everything I see that’s missing is still from the great Sept 7 purge.

Yup, my restored images are still there, as are all the recent things I’ve added (like at the poster art thread)
