old pictures

Just went to the back end of these messages (460+) pages back and when I opened posts the picture was gone. At what point are the photos dumped?

Hmm, that is kind of disconcerting. Imagine looking for someone's post and they have a pic and then it's not there.

Back in the beginning we didn't get to upload photos to the website like we can now. People had to store the pix on the web somewhere and then link them to the post. If you lost, closed, or changed Internet Providers the links would no longer be any good and poof the pix would be gone. It's much better now as you cna upload the pix to the website and you pix and post will stay intact as long as the webmaster sees fit to keep them. Some people are using webphoto hosting services like photobucket so you can be pretty sure that later on down the road thier posts will no longer contain thier photos anymore as either.
