@rumrunn6,
Yes, those are the attachments from the profile page. Can you actually open and view any of the images? For me I just get a blank page. And any page that had the old style of attachments don't show photos.

It used to be that I could pull up an old image, and attach it to my message somewhat like:


[img]https://www.bikeforums.net/attachmen...hmentid=611555[/img]

And it would insert the old image into my messages.

@JohnDThompson and @livedarklions

Sometime around April of 2018, there was a website update. The old image management software was disabled. And, new images were moved onto https://cimg1.ibsrv.net

All of the old images remained hidden away as attachments, viewed in the old messages, or in the attachments link from the user profile above.

And all the new images were sent to user's photo albums.

For another year the old attachments still allowed being added to before being shut off from adding new ones (but still allowing old ones to be used).

In all, I had about 958 of the old style photos, and I like to refer back to them from time to time. Or, as happened yesterday, I wanted to refer to a message posted by another user in 2015.

This means that over a decade of photos attached to old messages seem to have gotten lost with the recent site update.
