If you have difficulties with one of the board functions, this is the place to talk about it.
And if you are lucky someone can help you too ;)

Disappearing image

Post by DocRick » Tue Jan 21, 2025 1:25 pm

Many of my images have vanished, replaced by this and if I try to open them, I get the Error 404.

Is this a permanent thing, or will they come back? It's not just my computer as someone else pointed this out to me.

There is a time limit expiration option when you first post your image Doc.

Did you set it for just a day, or a week, or 31 days? You can also choose no expiration.

A glitch then?

I guess you'll have to edit the affected posts, and reinstate the images.

I can't. I don't save my collages. I post them and delete them, or I would totally overload my data storage.

Oh no! :( You'll have to invest in an external hard drive and keep them.

Now I'm finding random pictures disappearing from "Doc's World". WTF is going on !!!

Seems to have started on Nov. 29th.....the same day I started writing and posting Little White Lies. Some kind of coincidence?

So far this has not let me down and no SNOW Flake, as you can see by the ads, lol - https://imgbox.com/

The only old images I lost were the ones posted on another platform that went SNOW FLAKE, it was a petty cause those images were illustrating my fine ROUND TABLE adventures here in this community
