  Several (but not all) photos are missing from my story pages. Those of you who use photos (i.e., Meg Pokrass, Marcus Speh), have you noticed yours are missing?

  Lynn Beighley taught me how to post photos on the story pages. The code I use is <img src="____________________.jpg"height="___"width="____">

  The coding is still intact when I open to edit the story, but the photos are missing (not viewable) with most of the stories. One photo that remains is a Facebook-hosted photo. The others are hosted elsewhere on the web.

  The code chain I typed disappeared from the above message!

  the code bit (you can see it when you choose "View Source" for the HTML page) is the so-called <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp">HTML IMG tag</a>:

  <blockquote>
  &lt;img src="____________________.jpg" height="___" width="____"&gt;
  </blockquote>

  what i did to establish images in the story itself is (following advice by con chapman) to simply drag any picture straight into the edit field - this worked well. for the sidebar, i use the IMG tag above. hope this helps.

  Thanks, Marcus! Yes, that is the code I use as well.

  It's possible that the images are no longer online. That can cause them to disappear from your posts.

  Ann, I see a few images in your stories, so I'm not sure which have the problem. I did see a broken one:

  But I think that's because there's a typo in the code on the sidebar.

  Lynn, thanks. The missing images are with "Waylaid," "Gerade rechts zum Volkszimmer," and a few stories designated private. The Waylaid photo is still online (checked that). I tried updating my flash player, but that didn't help. I'll check your link above next.

  The close > was missing from two stories. I added it, but the photos did not display.

  Ann, I just looked at 'Waylaid.' In the Author's Note, I see code that might be messed up. &lt;img src="&lt;a href=" /&gt;

  Without being able to see it in edit mode I can't be certain, but you might need to fix something there.

  Lynn, I went inside edit mode, and the coding looks all right from there.
