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.
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.
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.
Looks like old images are gone again. All my storyboards from July are now
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)
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.
Some threads are stripped pretty bare. I had a suspicion that discourse is running into a limit on how many images it will keep track of… And then you guys go and point out how the restored images are still around. At any rate, it’s still a problem.
