I posted the message and images from the website. No email involved.? I used the Add picture tool and the Add attachment tool. A member had originally sent the image to the group as images pasted onto a word doc and attached to his email. They opened properly in the pending message preview but not when they were actually posted. I offered to help. I copied the images and saved them as a single png, went to the website, replied to his message and added the images as pictures and attachments. Again, they displayed just fine in preview. It's a group where everyone is moderated including me. When I opened the pending message the image and attachment displayed properly. I approved the message and once it posted it no longer displayed. I got the tiny icon and the same XML error message. I tried it again, saving the image as a jpeg. Previewed fine. Sent to the group and displayed properly in pending. Once approved the image no longer displayed and again I got the error message. The attachment also opens and displays properly in review or as a pending message. Once posted it no longer will open. Instead, I get the XML error message.
In this morning's daily digest the images displayed normally but not the attachments. They return the XML error message: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it." Why does the software call it an XML file? It's a jpeg. What does not having any "style information" mean?
What really has me baffled is, why the image displays properly in preview and pending but not when it is actually posted. What is happening in between? The group is one that began on Yahoo almost twenty years ago, we have had thousands of images posted. I myself must have posted hundreds. Not once has this ever happened before. Size doesn't seem to be the problem. The image is about 300 kb.
This is a history group and images are very important. I would really like to have some idea what might have gone wrong in order to be able to correct it if this happens again in the future.
