Graphics Missing

[exogenesis]

All pictures I guess on this thread are not showing this is the first post with the missing graphics

 

That said I have seen another post today where the graphics are showing both of these

 

The pictures are those each author has uploaded to the MSFN server to be shown in the post.

That's because many users (myself included) *PREFER* to paste images into our replies *INSTEAD OF* having them "hosted" on third-party websites.

But when we RUN OUT OF ROOM, we have to DELETE them so that we can PASTE into other replies.

I will *ALWAYS* do it that way, I will not jump through the hoops of having them "hosted" on third-party websites.

(edit: not all forums have such a tiny space, I have other forums with NO LIMIT AT ALL, just keep pasting and they reside there "forever")

"To each their own", of course.

There are pros and cons to both.

Pasting into a reply is *EASY* but also *not* forever.  "Hosting" the image is "forever" but NOT ALL COUNTRIES will be able to view them, depending on host site.

Oh yes..."My Attachments" from the user menu on the top left tells me: "You have used 1.28 MB of your 1.95 MB attachment limit." - 1.95 MB is just enough for two hands full of PNGs.

Thanks for your replies I understand the reasons now. Seems MSFN could do with unlimited space with minimum cost. Thankfully the MSFN forum owner has allowed Wayback to archive MSFN.

Although I think the forum owner should contact Wayback and invite them here to MSFN more often to archive the site through the night when the forum is quiet. Should we say each day or a week well no longer than a month. The more MSFN is archived the better we all are for having MSFN archived.

 
This detailed guide https://msfn.org/board/topic/183295-web-browser-proxomitron-reborn-ptrongui-a-how-to-guide and has 22 guide pictures. No pictures is a loss to MSFN and the guide and everyone who needs to follow the guide.

The guide was written 16 January 2022 and Wayback only has 3 copies of this guide archived with pictures those dates are 11 March 2022, 17 May 2022 and 01 July 2022 and that is it which is not good news at all so very easily lost which Wayback is good at doing.

If you look at MSFN at Wayback you see all the archived captures

But it is the pictures that are most missing as posts have said above each user has only a limited space and will need to delete when they make lots of posts with pictures which pictures are always nice.

Off site picture graphics hosted server sites are near if not all are useless they are either already dead, or need you to join the site or more lately you are in the wrong country.

All means those Picture hosting server sites have all but failed to deliver what they are meant to deliver to everyone anywhere. Those sites just don't work as they intended them to work, so they are not a long term option to rely on. What other option have we than Wayback to archive MSFN more often than it does now, which is good for the site to have a constant public archive got as long as possible with all graphics.

 

BTW the graphics as in my first post those types do not show on Wayback. Something the site owner can do to ensure that those graphics are also able to be archived, so when viewed at Wayback they do show correctly as we view them here.
