Forum photos going missing?

Post by Bruce2 »

Check out this topic from 2 years ago:
http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic ... 0&t=145447
I clicked on the pic link and the picture is gone. Is this a bug, or are pics in forum topics being thrown away after a period of time?

Pics are never tossed. But the links get broken. This has been a problem since the last repair. I am still trying.

Hmm, that's strange. I haven't lost any of my https://motorwestperformance.com photos, thankfully.

Not sure what photos are missing in that post(did see a malformed link), All photos that are added to the forums are now uploaded to the server and will not suffer from the broken links of the past(photobucket) unless the original poster deletes their posts.

When creating a post that includes images the system does have a time limit(session limit) as to how long it allows for the creation process and that can create an issue with image uploads.
