Edmund,

If you do not click "Check this box to include photo in your gallery" on the upload screen when posting your images, or some time within 35 days of the date posted, the images in all galleries will automatically drop off in 35 days unless your image is selected for a weekly pick. You can click "edit" under your thumbnails and scroll down to where it says "Check this box to include photo in your gallery" check the box and then click "update photo".

Hi Edmund: I'm guessing that the answer Mia provided is the reason. You didn't say how long ago you posted the images. If they are more than 35 days old and you didn't include them in your own gallery, or they are not selected as a weekly pick, they will automatically be removed from the system. From the posting guidlines:

When uploading a new photo or when using the edit function on a photo you have already uploaded, you may assign the photo to your Personal Gallery. By checking the personal gallery box on the upload or edit screen, the photo will be exluded from the 35 day auto-deletion utility. Photos in your Personal Gallery can be accessed via (1) the gallery icon that accompanies your IC gallery posts and (2) the My Photos link in the green bar near the top of the page.

Thank you Mia and Keith. That makes sense. I guess I will go ahead and include them in my Personal Gallery from now on.

Thanks, Ed
