missing pictures...
just wanted to know why the pictures are missing from old posts? Is this done to conserve space on the servers thats hosting this forum? Some pictures are actually helpfull for DIY projects. Is there a way to get these pictures back?

i agree...
its kind of dissapointing to find a nice DIY post and then have none of the pictures that actually make the thread useful. |

Merci beaucoup!! |
Gimmie some links where pics are missing please ...
|
It may be that those missing pictures were hosted on non forum servers, and the links are now broken to them. Ryan will not be able to fix those. The person that posted them will need to edit his/her post for broken links.
|
what happens a lot of times is that pictures are hosted on non forum servers, as nemesis stated, (usually to personal web space such as comcast, aol, etc) and the person who uploaded those pictures either moved or deleted pictures to make more space available for storage of other items, or they closed their accounts and now the info is no longer available using the links as originally published.

Hmmm, the attachments are still there ... I've seen this once before, thought it was a fluke thing. Now I gotta figure out how to fix it.

EDIT: First 3 DIY's I checked had the same problem: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-painting-brake-calipers-17533/ https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-how-replace-rear-6x9-speakers-9991/ https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-silvered-fender-vents-winning-blue-16754/ |
FYI-- no pics on the "removing front bumper" DIY.
|
some pictures on these threads are missing too...

same situ with all of those also. pics are still attached just not showing.
|
yes when you go to make a post in these 'problematic' threads you have no options to 'insert' pics into threads
I think when you guys switched from 'attached in post' to 'attached as thumbnail to download' they were lost...just a thought |
The weird thing is, the attachments are still there ... I can see them as an Admin, just the link to them in the thread is lost. I have an open support ticket with vB to try and get this fixed.
|
Thanks Boost! You hear back from them yet?
|
any luck on this guys? I am planning on removing the front bumper soon and the pictures in the DIY section are missing =( please help....

I haven't checked on this lately, will do that this week.
|
If someone wants to send me the photos from the bumper removal DIY (ross at hymee d0t com ) I'll edit all my posts and reattach them. Unfortunately I lost my copy of those pics.
|
This one needs a fixing also:

Ultimate Zaino thread is missing lots of pics.
|
As it was said by Ryan, the pictures are not really missing just for some weird reason they are detached from the post. However, if the poster edits the post, the attachments will appear again.
I was able to fix some of my posts that also had missing pictures. Once I went to "manage attachments", the pics showed up. |
is there any way to bring these back w/o the original post editing them? some of the original posters haven't checked back in for some time...
