This was mentioned before, but I hadn't seen it.  However, now I have.  I put a couple of embedded pictures into a post, all was fine.  Then I went back and edited the post (not touching the pictures or links), and when I looked at the post, the pictures were just blank placeholders!  I edited it again and deleted the blank placeholders and embedded the pictures again, and they stayed.

This is the post, though the pictures are still intact: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...7#154730473567999847

Is there some operation that might cause them to disappear like that?

Rich, they were still in the attachment area, and I just deleted the empty boxes with the name in them from the text and then re-embedded the still attached pictures.  Don't know what happened to make them disappear.  FWIW, I use Firefox and Win 10, all updated.

Doing post with multiple photos, sometimes all the photos disappear after an edit, other times just one or two.  At this point, if I have to edit a post with photos, I just delete all the photos in the post (good ones and empty boxes) and re-embed them from the attachments area before re-posting.

I don’t know what is causing this, but whatever it is, it’s not something caused by your computers.

Slightly different problem but I have had my "48 Club" badge disappear. I copy it and paste it into my profile..it lasts for a few hours or even a day and then it disappears leaving a huge "Image not Available" placeholder where it used to be in my signature. I've reloaded it several times with the same result and  finally gave up  .

Gerry, you can't paste an image into your signature. It has to be an image hosted on the net somewhere. I fixed it for you.

If any of you want to use the 48 Club logo in your signature, use the Insert Picture tool. Paste this code into the SOURCE window:

FWIW this exact scenario has happened to me numerous times, but not all the time. That makes it even harder to figure out.

If it's a post with one or two pictures it's no big deal but if it's a picture heavy post I'm afraid to make an edit even a spelling correction because sometimes numerous pics (but not all)  are gone and need to be re-loaded.
