I'm working on a new article and I can't get some of my photos to show up. All of them have been uploaded and are children of my page. I can click on the image and it's there but not in the article. What's up? This is getting frustrating. The first two do display correctly.

Hi Bob,
You've run into a little known bug in SP's Editor: when inserting an image, it always selects the medium version, even when there is no such thing!
The thing is, when posting an image on SP, different versions in different sizes are stored. As far as I know, for a typical 4:3 picture these are 'original' (the exact file as was uploaded), 'large' (1024 by 768px), 'medium' (500 by 375 px), 'small' (200 by 150 px), 'thumb' (100 x 75 px) and 'square' (75 by 75 px). However, the pictures you are trying to insert belong to a select class of pictures that do not have a medium version: when the 'medium' version would not be smaller than the original, it is not stored!
I can think of two ways to work around this:
- In the SP Editor, switch to HTML mode (that's the first button on the toolbar, with the text </>), look for the word 'medium' and replace it with 'original' wherever appropriate. This is what I would do.
- The alternative is to upload and use only pictures that are wider than 500 px.
For the record, it's not a good idea to replace all medium images by original ones all the time: especially when the original images are big, it really slows down loading the page (and those that pay per downloaded MB have to pay more).
Cheers, Rob
