Post does not display the new picture and ruins the new one

Project Lucian 2.0 - Brighter colours, tattoo and a power core in his chest! :)

I deleted the old picture so I would use less space, and the post does not display a picture at all in the thread "Skins and Champion Concepts". In addition to this, the first, new picture fails to display when one clicks on it. What I had to do to be able to display my new picture, was that I needed to upload the old again as the first picture... Why?!? Now I have one unnecessary picture taking up my post, and my post does not display a picture in the thread section, making it less desirable to check out.

Please fix this.

I'm not sure what happened here. I can delete your original two images if you like.

I will look into this for sure, this is not intended behavior.

What I think happens:

Upon deleting the first picture added to a discussion, the site will ignore new pictures and try to display the old one, resulting in the famous ward one can see when browsing discussions. This needs to be updated so that a discussion always displays the first picture in a discussion, regardless of what it may be.
Deleting pictures and then adding new ones with the same names may result in the site trying to display the old pictures, which can no longer be found, but may still be in your database as text only. This results in images failing to load.
It seems that once this has happened, it does not matter if you add new names to the files you upload. Maybe there is some kind of auto-registration that fails and sees the images as identical when there are only small changes? Does the site ignore the names and only "see" the pictures?

Just trying to see a pattern of this weird behaviour. I am quite confused... No need to delete anything though. I made a new discussion since a discussion of this kind needs pictures to display properly :)

Tbh I think it's a bug with your post, but I will definitely look into it!
