Missing images/thumbnails from posts

  Hi all,

  I am using Windows Live Writer to make posts to my blog.

  In some instances, after uploading the post, the browser is not showing thumbnails and/or some large linked images just aren’t there. I look in the Media files of the dashboard, and not all files appear to be there. I delete all images relating to a post, re-post from Live writer, the same things happens, this time with other thumbnails and images.

  This is very frustrating, as every time a re-upload from Live Writer, it seems to append a number to the image files, which I presume is mucking up the links.

  Am I doing something wrong?

  HELP please!!!

  Thanks,
  Ian

  Hi Ian. Do you have the exact link of a post where you added pictures in Windows Live Writer, but those pictures do not show up?

  Hi,

  This was the last post I was having trouble with.

  Spline roadbed Part III …

  Sometimes the thumbnails are there, but the linked larger image isn’t, sometimes it’s the other way around.

  Thewere all there when I did the initial upload from Live Writer, but then I edited the post in LW and uploaded again, and that’s where things went strange.

  It’s also happened before on previous posts.

  Cheers,
  Ian

  When I try to access that link, I land on a post full of non-existent pictures. It’s as if the files did not exist at all in your media library…

  That’s the problem, and every time I try another “Publish” from LW, it doesn’t seem to upload all the images. Is it a LW problem or WP problem?

  Could you please confirm that you are using the latest version of Windows Live Writer?

  Yes, according to their “check for updates” button.

  I forgot to say that I’m using the latest version for Win XP. It looks like they aren’t producing a newer version for XP.

  That could very well be a problem. Live Writer is largely a Vista or higher product.

  Do you have any luck adding photos when writing your post from our editor?
