As I've been deleting, all done, by the way, I wanted to pin some to pinterest, all done too with this. But, 2 posts had one of a kind pictures now gone. Who do we contact about retrieving pictures from posts?
Added:
After JJ pointed it out, I might not have photos on posts, my mistake, sorry.

If you pin a myLot post to Pinterest and then delete the post in myLot, the link in Pinteret will no longer work and any images associated with it are irretrievably lost. Under normal circumstances, that is final. myLot does, of course, back up its database regularly and so can, theoretically, restore a deleted post but this is extremely time consuming and we will not do it unless it is vital to the system (not to the individual user).
If you delete a post, it is entirely your responsibility and you should remember that, in doing so, you are also deleting other people's work because all the responses and comments will also disappear. This is why we do not encourage people to delete old posts willy-nilly. It is simply not necessary to do so and may affect others who value their contributions to discussions.

Only some. The post itself had picture, but now gone. The ones I'm wondering about, no backup.

@oahuwriter Yes, I understand but which device did you use to put the picture on myLot?
To the best that I know, you can only retrieve the picture from the device that posted that photo onto your myLot account. ONLY that device.

Yes, but the post with disappearing photo is just a post that the photo disappeared from. I understand now no need to delete. I'm relieved, for I was nervous about many years of posting. I've posted some posts to my pinterest and it's lovely. My treasured memories saved for always.

Thanks. When I first posted I had uploaded my picture. But it isn't resent posts, both 2019 posts. I'm going to try going to another browser to see what happens.

I was thinking back, and you know, I guess you're right. My mistake. I've added to my post about mistake.

You can PM the admin, or mylot bugs I believe.
