There was an update to the software behind the Forum about a year ago I think, which caused a problem with some of the images which had been posted as attachments, instead of links.  Those are the ones showing as 'Deleted by Admin', as they were lost from the server. 

Anything which is posted as a link should always stay intact, the only time those would break is if the actual host of the image deleted it.  So if you change/delete the image from your Photobucket, it will no longer show up here.  Some of the older Painting Comp ones have gone like that.

Mea Culpa, Leon, its my browser thats been got at, just seems rather strange that its only here that certain piccies arent displayed.

Ok I'll get me coat.........
