The pics get deleted after a while due to space limitations. The server gets full so the admins delete the older ones to make room.  My pics were gone too, so I started putting them on photobucket, so that they will always be there. All of the pics in my reto thread are hosted there now.

I use photobucket too. Good to know that's the "right" way....maybe everyone can update theirs the same way(?)
