It is the attached files that have been lost.

ALL other pics and images including Knowledge Library are fine.

This is a very important note

There is no way to add pictures to old posts. There is no option to edit.

If you wish to have old posts repopulated with pictures, the "edit" function must be reactivated for old posts.

Thank you for looking into this important factor.

That is because you are not a "Contributing Member".

Thank you for looking into this important factor.

You're welcome Martin.

Thank you for spotting this oversight.

I have opened up editing function for FREE Registered Members so the restriction of 1 hour to being able to edit their original post is lifted.

I will leave this in place for 60 days so FREE Registered Members have the opportunity to update their old posts and add attachments now.

Let me know if that works after you've had a chance to test it now.

Doug

Hello Badger,

Yes, I was successful at repopulating pictures in my old posts. That is very helpful. Thank you.

Just a curious observation. Several of my old posts did not lose pictures which were hosted by Milsurps.com. But three topics did lose pictures.

Excellent..

I suspect that the ones you can still see and retrieve were references to externally linked pics, captured by our special system software that does this. They are OK and permanently saved in a different area of the site.

ONLY pictures that were ATTACHED to posts or threads were affected and lost.

Many of of my posts are showing pictures...but they are just thumbnails from my browser's cache. They will be gone once I clear browsing history.
