Why can't I see images in posts sometimes?

When in topics, people seem to be posting images, and people acknowledge the images, but for me, the pictures just don't show up. This happens on desktop and mobile on chrome and firefox. Sometimes I can see images others imbed, but most of the time I can't.

Hi KrisB,

Can't speak directly to the issue, but as an individual who not infrequently embeds user generated images (for example in some of my 2020 CA DEM PRIM posts) it appears that certain images "disappeared" from my posts with the migration from "Atlas Forum" to "Talk Elections"....

Welcome to Talk Elections btw.... and I will let others more knowledgeable reply as to the specifics.

It could also be that you are looking at threads before Dave got sued from some "corrupt Southern Lawyer" type person, and there were massive restrictions and cleanups of individuals posting images on Atlas to help protect the Forum from potential future such frivolous lawsuits.... (Meaning that many legacy posts, including many of mine with approved and legit images, were effectively "hidden" to the point where you might need to click on a link within a post to view a graphical post)...

Can't speak to all of this, but suspect it's a mixture of "legacy image posts", combined with the migration to "Talk Atlas"....

I'm sure that Virginia or one of the other expert Mods more familiar with the "back-end" side of Atlas might be able to speak to this in more detail....

Peace,

NoVA Green

Thanks a ton man!
