Recently we have noticed that when adding multiple pictures they display different shown in the preview. Here is an example. In the preview the pictures are aligned. When posted they are not. Any ideas on what I need to do. I was not able to find a post on this.

There are lots of posts discussing that there are often subtle differences between the preview and the actual post. If you have special needs for dealing with lots of images there are some plugins and theme components that help deal with that. You might search “#Customization > Theme image” or “#Customization > Plugin image”.

If you want specific alignment, merge the pictures into one larger image via a basic image editing tool (photoshop, etc) and get the alignment just how you like. Discourse isn’t really a CMS or blog publishing system in that regard.
