Have you checked your Media Library page to make sure you have not exceeded your free storage limit for media?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/NOTE: If you delete images form your Media Library then they cannot be displayed because they have been removed form the WordPress.COM servers when you do that. You will have to upload them again. See here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/09/20/omg-my-images-are-gone/
These are the accepted file types:

Have you checked your Media Library page to make sure you have not exceeded your free storage limit for media?
-
ah – limit reached, possibly time to move elsewhere, not sure I want to pay more and more as the site grows in size, its just to share photos with family, tumblr perhaps, can you suggest any alternatives?
-
You can register another wordpress.com blog under the same username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ Upload the images into the new blog and hotlink to them from the first blog posts and pages, if you don’t want to buy a space upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

so, you can have more than one worpress blog with 3gb per user name? just leave a forwarding link on the old blog…is that what you mean? thanks for the advice
-
No I’m not talking about forwarding.
Upload images into blog B.
Got to media libraray in blog B and get URL for Image.
Then go to blog A and create apost orpage and upload an image from a URL http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/What is the Space Upgrade?
All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/ -
Apologies for typos. I am visually challenged. I have eyestrain and I am in a hurry. I’mnot using my app to correct dyslexic mistakes and spelling errors, etc.
-
hmm. not sure that will work, possibly impractical to post each image in that way, also not sure I can post at all as im totally out of space.
maybe create the second blog and leave an address – not ideal but at least i can post direct from mobile….do you get 3gb per new blog even withimn same username?
-
Hotlinking images from blog to blog here works.I wouldn’t have offered that information if it didn’t. Note that I have been here for over 8 years answering questions and that years longer than almost every support staff has even been on staff.

sorry, i think you misunderstand. I wasnt suggesting that it wouldnt work or doubt your credentials. Appreciate the advice. I possibly misunderstand but i was saying that it might not work for me, i’d like to be able to post directly from mobile rather than going back in and relinking each image, there are too many posts to make that practical
-
Thanks for clarifying. Now I understand what you are expressing.There are no other alternatives so I`ll leave you to make your choice.
