John,
The reason you're not seeing the original photo, is that in multiple threads, Justin attached files larger than 50K in size.
The forum administrator(s), who set up the forum, request that, in order to preserve band width and minimize costs, attachments not exceed 50K in file size. As the forum host, I'm compelled to honor that request.
When the images were originally posted, I made a direct appeal to Justin to either resize the image(s), create a link to his website, (where he is free to use a file size of his choice) or risk deletion of the attachments.
After waiting for what I felt was ample time (a couple of days) I had no choice but to delete the attachments. I didn't relish having to make that decision, for I knew the continuity of the thread would be lost.
My action was to demonstrate that we intend to uphold the 50K file size limit. Nothing more.
As far as the original post being deleted in its entirety, that could only have been deleted by Justin himself. As Harvey pointed out, the moderators will never delete a post without an explanation.
