HCRoadie Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hello all. I am new to the site as a member, but have been looking through it for quite some time. LOVE IT. Except, only about 10% of the photos are visible. A lot of the info on here is soo visually intensive, I know I am missing a lot. I am a member of several forums like this, and have never had this problem. Where there should be a photo, only the text "posted image" is there. When I click on that, a shaded rectangle appears and the spinning circle. I could not find a tech page to post this on, but can someone advise me on this? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

ScottR Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 That means the original poster has moved or removed them from the host site. The vast majority of the threads with that problem are several years old. Several years back the hosting sites had smaller limits on the amount of data they would store (for free in particular) and folks were faced with having to delete the oldest pics to make room for newer ones.....which rendered those threads somewhat less useful. I believe the mods are pondering various avenues of addressing this, but imagine it boils down to deciding if the information is more valuable without the pictures than it would be if the discussion no longer existed at all.

HCRoadie Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks ScottR. I was just used to seeing "This Image Is longer available" tags when the pic has moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
