This story now has the image displaying properly.

If there are others that are not, it may be necessary to edit the original
post and reconnect the appropriate images using the file browser.

One last soapbox on the tech site- if the IMC community really wants an
archive of everything we've every done to be kept in perpetuity (which our
current and past sites were never really meant for) then we do need a team
to identify what the real needs are and likely write grants or fundraise to
build something that is meant to do that. I'm thinking a community version
of what the UI has with IDEALS. It'll take money and time and expertise.

Sorry that the need to move websites around has caused problems. In my
opinion it's better than where we were 2 months ago when the site was
essentially unusable.
