I'm getting the image below when looking at some of my past posts with screenshots, even though at the time I posted them they looked fine:

Any suggestions?

Nichole -- There are a number of things that could cause this.

- All images and files in messages are stored as attachments. If you have the group set up to "delete old attachments" they will eventually disappear.
- Deleting any image from the Emailed Photos folder will also remove it from the message.
- If the image was inserted as a link to somewhere else (<IMG> tag), and that image is subsequently removed at the source, a broken link will be displayed.

To sort this out further we will need more details on exactly what you've been doing.

I have the same problem. Seems to happen mostly with linked photos from Facebook. Here's a screenshot of a recent example.
The photos I copied into this post still exist on Facebook.

If these are photos that were taken with an iPhone, they may be in HEIC format. These images may not render in most browsers.?

If that¡¯s the case, go to the iPhone¡¯s settings > camera > formats and change to Most Compatible.?

If the image URL ever changes, then your browser will no longer be able to fetch it.

Also, it sometimes happens that access to the image requires some kind of authentication (you must first log in, or you have to join this FB group, etc). Your post may look good to you while you're still logged into the other site's portal, but no one else can see the linked content because they aren't.

It's always best to download or otherwise make a copy of an image and use that in your post.?
