   Scores of my oldest images suddenly disappeared five days ago. I contacted Support and they asked for a link to a specific post. I immediately responded with a link. That was the last time I have heard anything from them. The images are still missing and I don't know what to do. This is making me seriously consider moving my blog to my own server.

   Already have. No reply yet. I just bought web hosting and am going to move to my own server. It's more money, but when I figure in the cost of domain registration, forwarding, and CSS that I'm already paying, it isn't much more.

   I had a similar problem.

   I made some changes to the css and tried the preview. Several images were missing. On investigating with Firebug I found that the location of the images was being changed from

   http://bigdave44.files.wordpress.com/ in the script

   to http://bigdave44.com/

   resulting in them not being found.

   At first sight it appears this may be a problem for those with their own domain name.

   I re-edited the css and changed all the locations to

   http://bigdave44.wordpress.com/files/

   now all is well!

   BTW I copied the css into word, edited it and then copied it back - I had 41 references to change.

   I don't know if this is the same problem, but it may help.

   I've just noticed that the saved css has gone back to http://bigdave44.files.wordpress.com so now I'm more confused than I was before.

   To summarise, if the css contains the files.wordpress version, the preview fails.

   If I replace files.wordpress with the other version, the preview works and the css is modified when saved.

   Can anyone explain?

   When I have time I will submit to support.

   You didn't delete the pictures from your media library did you?

   I didn't delete any of mine. Still no reply from Support. Unbelievable.

   @nrepair: Because you now have your blog forwarding to a self-hosted account, I'm not able to properly troubleshoot that issue for you. I've sent you a reply via Support.
