No Images or Attachments?

Hi, I don't seem to be able to view any images or attachments in this thread:

https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/the-scavenger-a-joule-thief-inspired-boost-regulator-unfinished.130488/

Is there a reason for this? I am a new member but I can view images in other posts ok.

Thanks

A recent hard drive failure put paid to all images... The Administrator is working to fix the issue.

am I to assume that this is related?
"Fatal error:

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vB_DataManager_AttachmentFiledata in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 849"

I tried to post a couple of attachment today, here and here. I just get a blank thumbnail with no link to the underlying .jpg

I've had the same issue here, MikeMl. Glad to see I'm not the only one...
