That should be fixed now as of:

[https://github.com/merefield/discourse-chatbot/commit/3e3b554ea32bb7b405da51caa4c411b89a446c73](https://github.com/merefield/discourse-chatbot/commit/3e3b554ea32bb7b405da51caa4c411b89a446c73)

But I noticed something interesting in my testing.

In Discourse, there’s a slight delay in images being fully reflected in a Post’s data so if the bot replies too quickly it can miss seeing that there’s an image.

The solution is to up this value:

`chatbot reply job time delay` - I’ve tested it at 0 and 2 - and 0 is often too fast, so slow things down a bit.

If you are always refering to an image in a prior Post you should not have a problem, it’s only if you are Posting an image and then referring to it in the same post, e.g. “describe this image”
