Why are images gone here?

There are other pages where this is happening, and I thought it was an isolated case, but here it’s worse:

GhPython add-on compiler with example

Hi all, I would like to introduce the new GhPython compiler feature we are developing for Rhino in Serengeti. This is an early build, and it is the first time this is shown to the public, so some “rough edges” might still be there. Keep that into account. You are encouraged to write comments below here. I am also posting a example below here. Step by step example A component that shows a textdot relative to screen position (“billboard”). 1 We begin with a customary GhPython component. Pleas…

is there something that can be done?

Missing images from threads

I see there are a lot of images missing from old threads. Did you have a system failure or a cleanup or something?

@marthasimons9999 Few months ago discourse had some server problem. Due to that server issue some of the photo’s and files where got corrupted/missing. You can’t get that back. Regards, BVR

Would it be possible, in the case of archival posts with timeless value which lost their pictures, for the original poster to add the visual material back in, or perhaps to retrieve what’s left of the original post, add the visuals back in and re-post it? Is there anything the Discourse folks could do to make a recovery process as simple as possible?

[piac (Giulio Piacentino)]

I am not sure. I had always understood Discourse to be a stable platform, and I do not have the original material saved on another place. Also, the Wayback Machine did not index Discourse, probably because of the ajax-looking preloads it performs. This is annoying but there is no solution apparently other than re-creating from scratch for me. I am not sure the linked thread is an “archival posts with timeless value” either. I want to re-fill the pics, we will see when I have time.
