Missing images from threads

OK we are on to this, we are aware of the full extent of the problem 6000 images in total which were from 2015 and older were impacted.

There is a long story here but back in 2015 we had a different file upload naming scheme and we did not migrate mcneel to the new scheme. We are doing a full analysis here to see if there is anything we can do to recover the images. @stevebaer any chance you have an old backup hanging around somewhere?

Regarding @Holo’s issue, this is different and somewhat complex. What happened here I think is.

  1. You uploaded the image on another post (or draft)
  2. Then you right clicked on the image, copied the URL and put it in the holomark2 post.

This leads to a somewhat complex and not great situation, which I will make sure we fix in core. Since the URL is to a smaller and optimized version of the original our internal processes that map “uploads” to “posts” did not pick up that this post contained the upload. Later your draft disappeared or original post with the image got deleted, the reference between post and image was lost and it was removed.
