It appears there are tow (2) similar post on the Forum identifying and reporting problematic issues.
Perhaps the Moderators can combine these so we can focus problems/solutions/comments et al?

Some numbers to consider.
I just posted another snack on m-carbo-diner-what-s-for-eats
I started to claw back up the post and here is what I discovered.
There are 1722 entries, of these 1561 images have affectively lost images.
Interestingly enough videos are still intact. VERY strange.
The images appear again at entry 1561, meaning 161 remain unaffected.
Basically we started over. Too bad!

The circle with the gray silhouette to the left of your name when you post. You have to upload yours again as they apparently got corrupted when the forum software was updated. You can do this in your profile preferences (menu at upper right corner).

Heyā¦I may have found the problem!! at least for me! 
So I tried to load some old jpeg pics todayā¦no luck. I took screen shots of the pictures and repostedā¦then it worked! 
Donāt know what that means, but it might help someone with the same issues reposting old picturesā¦if you still have them saved on your puter
Try reloading an old pic thatās been lostā¦if it doesnāt work, take a screenshot of the pic and reload and post if you have success or not

Thanks for the testing and updating a workaround for viewing corrupted images.
You actually have proven that these images were mapped on the server and that the original images are flagged so that when purged are logged into the system, just not viewable. Itās weird. IMHO
Thanks

The screenshot is likely .png format which again suggests the main forum software is not loading .jpg images even though they exist and are mapped. If that is the case it should be an easy fix - if anyone is listening.

I believe my screenshot is the same formatā¦so I took another of my post editing of screenshots I posted todayā¦all done on my iPad.

To be sure, right click on the image and click on properties.
This will give your the image format itās in and other metadata.
Thanks,

Remember Iām a Mac Alienā¦ 
No right clicks for meā¦but when I hit the i in blue in the top bar above the info tab screen ā¦it does show the PNG @JoeFridaySays mentioned.
Iām hesitant to fix some of my old lost pictures without knowing it wonāt happen againā¦
Iām passing the ball back to you guysā¦Iām just an old gadgeteer-technotwit or āHill Jackāā¦

I think you just confirmed the problem - assuming anyone in charge gives a ratās ass which seems unlikely. One would think the powers that be would want to fix this and maintain the utility of the forum. Someone @Kona needs to speak to @ChrisNelson
