Why aren't images showing up in my older posts?

in #steem • 5 years ago

Starting about 10 days ago I noticed that pictures in old posts aren't displaying properly.

I usually use Busy to make posts to the Steem blockchain, and I frequently drag and drop photos from my desktop to the post editor.

Once I noticed this problem, I found that I can no longer drag and drop for proper display. However, if I can enter a URL for a hosted image, then it WILL show up in my final post.





Anyone know what's going on and how to see old pics again?

    I believe Busy is no longer being maintained and the images were held on their own server, which seems to have been switched off.

    This is a common issue for Steem. The text of posts is held on the blockchain but images and videos are not.

    Super bummer! Have you seen any articles about this @pennsif?

    There have been a few mentions of this issue, for example this one from @adetorrent...

    For reference, Partiko has also been abandoned by the developer now.

      You could be blocked, or it is an issue with busy! When I was blocked this would happen to me, i think they simply decided to quit hosting pics cause of the data costs.

      The devs can block our images from the nodes. I was blocked all last year. I doubt you are blocked, it's not a blockchain block, but just a front end block. I heard other people talking about this image thing too, so I just assume it's blocked now for everybody. They didn't even notify me officially, I had to figure it out myself.

          I have been using steemit.com always to try to avoid these types of problems. I didn't trust all the 3th party services and see now many of them are abandoned.
