Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
although the photo page record is missing now, the photo itself exists. judging by the last update date of the observation, i’m guessing the change that led to this situation occurred in early August. others have reported missing photos in the past, but i’ve never seen that happen on one of my own observations. the closest thing that i’ve come across when i was a relatively new user, when i was editing one of my observations in the website, i didn’t realize that unchecking a photo in the edit page would unlink the photo from the observation. i suspect there may be others who have unchecked photos, not understanding what it would do, and ended up with photos seemingly being dropped from observations mysteriously. that’s not necessarily what happened here, but i think it’s something that others should know.
Have no idea what happened, but the link to the original photo looks right so I downloaded it to my phone and uploaded it back into that same iNaturalist observation.
