I have no trouble using vgy.me to post pictures, but I just went searching through an old thread for something, and I realized the pictures I posted a year or two ago all just have an icon now that says image not found! Is there something I needed to do to make them permanent? Or maybe these are pictures from before I made an account there, so they didn’t last? Is this going to happen to all of them?☹️☹️☹️

I don't recall when they made you join to post any more pics. I just did a quick look back, & in October of 2018 I have a post where two pics are gone & two are still there. I just don't know whats going on.

I can’t even put them back, because all my old pics were on my old iPad which was dropped on its head one too many times and now refuses to cooperate. One of these days I need to take it to an Apple store and see if they can retrieve them. I was going to do that but then the pandemic came along...
And yes, I have already been chastised by my family for not saving them to “the cloud” or whatever. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way!

If it makes you feel any better, nana, I have no photos saved to the cloud. Shrug.
I looked into it, but am just too cheap to pay for it. I my massive hard drive ever dies, I have many thousands of photos that will bite the dust.

Nana, You can get a hard drive docking station fairly reasonable from places like Amazon and then pull out the hard drive and download the files, assuming the hard drive spins up in the docking station. I had one that wouldn't spin up in the laptop but it did in the docking station. I recovered my files to my new laptop, then reinstalled the hard drive and it still wouldn't work.

Thanks Mach12! And after I do that I’ll design a new rover to explore Neptune and Pluto!! 😉
Sorry, I’m not known for my sarcasm, but I couldn’t resist. Bless your heart for thinking I could even attempt to undertake the steps in that last paragraph! If unplugging it and plugging it back in doesn’t work, my computer skills are exhausted.😳
