I have had problems once in a while with disappearing Akiba attachments. (In the form of regular .JPG files.) After previewing and submitting the post, the attachments behave, but the next time I visit, the attachments are gone.
I raised this question with one of the moderators (who happened to be CoolKevin, whom I see is answering the latest questions here), and he thought it might be one of those occasional glitches; but he suggested that I throw the question at Akiba's "problem page, where the more technical stuff is placed," in order to get, as he put it, more advanced answers.
I was too lazy to do so, and besides, it's not as though the problem happened all of the time. Yet what is prompting me to raise the issue this time is this recent post of mine:

The attachments disappeared. I re-uploaded the photos and edited the new links, and the post appeared to be fixed. Shortly afterwards, however, the pictures disappeared again.
I repeated the process a third time, and I see now the disappearance happened once again. That was unusual!
One clue: Usually when I upload attachments, the pictures appear as thumbnails at the bottom of the post, even when the pictures are embedded within the post. I noticed there were no thumbnails showing up at bottom with this latest attempt.
As an additional note:
I tried viewing the page with a different browser, and noticed the placeholders where the images should be located. When I reloaded the page, the placeholders disappeared.
