OK, I will ask one more time. Are the pictures in the Old Freight Shed from the old forum going to be restored or are they lost forever? I have about 20 build threads that all pictures are missing from.

Rick, the old Freight-sheds had a header saying “Beware”, “Not Supported”, “Use at your own risk” and when Bob started the transition there was a discussion of the need to download copies of your photos if you didn’t want to lose them.
