gto78,

It's a forum bug. Here's the response I posted earlier in this thread (which you probably missed if you took some time off from the forum):
Quote:
The forum software has had problems recently with attached images getting switched around. The problem only affects attachments; if you put your images into the Autopia gallery (or use a photo hosting service), you can use the IMG tag to post pics and avoid the bug. Using the IMG tag also has the added advantage of allowing you to post multiple pics in the same post (as opposed to one attachment per post).

You're not the first to get bitten by this bug; sorry for the inconvenience . . .
It's not that no one cared enough to solve the problem; it's that the only only fix is a major forum upgrade (moving to vB 3.0). To my knowledge, we haven't had any problems with users intentionally lifting photos, but there have been several misunderstandings when the attachment bug rears its ugly head.

Good to have you back, though . . . if you ever send one of us a PM and we don't respond for whatever reason, please, feel free to be persistent. Re-send if you don't hear back, and if that doesn't work, pick a different moderator to PM (the one you tried to contact may be out-of-town, or otherwise out-of-reach for a while).

Welcome back!
Tort
