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?

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.

EDIT: First 3 DIY's I checked had the same problem:

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.

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.

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.
