Hi everyone, We recently migrated our forum from XenForo to Discourse, and everything was working fine — including all attachment images in posts. However, after a recent Discourse admin upgrade (via the web interface), some images in older posts are no longer displaying. For example, in one post,…

root@jerry-app:/var/www/discourse# rake posts:missing_uploads Looking for missing uploads on: default 2061 post uploads are missing. 2050 uploads are missing. 738 of 3542 posts are affected.

Nice work! Glad you figured it out!
