Boxster Picture Game Thread - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Is it just me, or are all of the attached pictures in this thread gone?
(which would be sad, since, you know, it's a thread about pictures)

I see some, of the "embedded"variety, but the majority of the pictures stopped showing up for me.

I have the same problem, none of the pictures come up.

The site was being maintained and upgraded last night. So I tried to log back in an hour later and it said "You have been banned from this site. When will the ban be lifted: NEVER"

So that was kind of funny. Then I was able to log in this morning with no problems, but I also noticed forum pictures changed around. And then this thread is reversed. Earliest post is on 1st page, latest post on last page. Now its unreversed itself when I refereshed the page.

Looks like you guys are right, I thought it was just the last few not showing up for me because of my work computer, but even Johnny Danger's color-matching hood ornament is gone.

I suspect that there was some update to the forum (I suddenly have a percentage status for my PM box after logging in today), so perhaps when the change(s) occured it wiped out some links/attachments?

I've been saving virtually all the pictures from this thread so far, but I didn't get these last ones yet...

Any mods out there who can chime in about this situation?

I guess we'll put the game on hold until we can kinda sort this out. For the ones that still show, I think it's because they didn't "attach" the images in the same way as those which show up in a box that reads "Attached Image". So maybe if they're linked externally rather than attached, they still work since those links are still active.

Kind of a bummer, hope some people can go back and find a way to put their pictures back in or that the mods can maybe fix this.

Just checked the thread and everything seems to be back to normal. All the old pictures are back. Let the challenges continue. Still looking for a casino parking lot.

Well, not sure what happened to bring everything back, but good stuff. So let's get back to it, folks. We're going to reset the clock today...call it noon eastern time today (Sept. 25th), so let's see if someone comes through with a Boxster in a casino parking lot picture in the next couple days before we ask Highlow (Robo-Top) to supply his own.

Got a PM from Wayne the other day saying he found all the files and restored them.
Now, where's the nearest casino?

edit: On second thought, I think I will sit this round out. Got some other projects to work on.

I was planning on heading to a place right next to one this weekend, but plans fell through so I won't be able to provide that picture.

So I'll ditch that one and implement a new challenge:

Boxster next to a water fountain (not the drinking kind, but one used for aesthetics)
