For clarification of the following post, here's a photo page, and here is an actual photo.

During the issue a while back the photo pages/actual photos were deleted, but the photo pages were restored. SP does not keep a record of the actual deleted photos, but does keep a record of deleted "photo pages". So if for example you have a photo page with votes/comments/ect but is missing the actual photo, you can replace the missing image on the photo page via the edit page link followed by the browse button and then submitting it. 8)

Not as big of an issue as loosing photos, but I'm pretty sure I lost some summit logs. There are a few I'm pretty sure I signed and they are gone.

Also a known issue. The good news is that changes were made to the site which should theoretically prevent this in the future. If you see newer logs disappear, then we know we still have issues.

I'm guessing you use an iPhone? Unfortunately I'm anti-apple, hence I don't own anything related to them which makes it nearly impossible to identify this. I'd download Safari for PC, however the program is going to render things differently which would not make for a good testing subject. I inspected each DOM element and found no grey bar styling being applied which means it is potentially an issue on Safari's end. However SP should have a different construction for it's layout. :wink:

As for the photos, it's a loading error. On a PC they load just fine. If you look at your profile again I'm guessing those thumbnails would actually load.

I don't doubt that. What I'm saying is that the browser choice may affect the problem. Sometimes it's an issue with the site to the browser, and other times it's the other way around. Not too long ago I had to specifically code workarounds for Internet Explorer due to it not properly rendering things while keeping the rest of the code as it is.

I believe that is a minus sign, but I suppose you could be on to something there.

In terms of membership powers, the only difference between you and I is that I can feature/delete/edit things. That's pretty much the gist of my elf powers. :wink: I just happen to know a lot of stuff which helps influence others to make the appropriate changes.
