I'm glad you figured it out. This is such a mess, not to mention slow. I finally gave up editing, and just started a blog for my story and the progress has been so much faster. I've now posted 85 posts since yesterday, and that includes time to set the blog up. In comparison I hadn't done half of that in three days with the thread here. Just manually fixing all the images, then failing to do so, then trying again, then being logged out and having to start over...  Now I delete everything, add a link to the blog and one picture and I'm done with it. 

Also the blog looks better :) 

Hi.  It was suggested to me to post here about my experience with editing posts in migrated threads which is similar to what others are experiencing.  I host the DD thread which was migrated from the previous forum.  I am trying to fix an image which now only shows the image's url link to post that I cannot edit.  When I select edit, I copied the image's url into the link box.  The photo appears properly in the edit view.  However, when I select reply (I expected to see "publish" or "save") the photo doesn't show, only the url.  When I select "edit" again, the image appears in edit mode.  When I select "reply", the image does not appear.  

I did create a new post in the DD thread and have been able to edit the post created in the forum.

I use Chrome and Windows 10. 

Edit to add:  I read  a post   by GalaticGal that it may be better to upload photos directly from my computer rather than linking to imgur.  I tried to upload the photo from my computer.  Still no luck.  Both versions of the photo are visible in the edit view but not the published post. 

Did you try with this work around:

copy the image link somewhere like note pad
cancel the edit on this post
remove the image link and click reply

does this edit go through?
if yes you can then attempt to click edit again and add the picture then hit reply
try to avoid changing any other formatting at the same time with adding pictures
(including changing the rows its very particular that those shall not be changed in same edit)

Simmingal  - I tried replying to you the other day.  I had typed my reply and decided to insert an emoji.   I selected the emoji button and my screen went blank and my message was lost. 

I did try the work around you suggested but it has not worked.  I just checked the post in the migrated thread which I was trying to edit.  The image is visible in the edit mode.  However, none of my changes take effect after selecting reply.  As well, the link for the text is visible, which I had deleted, and the photo does not show.  I have found a feedback post that users were having problems with migrated photos.  

you have to cancel all the autosaved edits made to the post first otherwise nothing will go through its same for these comments if you go too bananas with formatting it can't take many different edits at once and autosave keeps all the edits you made previously
