Question

Migration error! Embedded images were generally lost

The migration appears to have severely corrupted all posts containing embedded images. These images are now often only available and displayed in a reduced size and no longer enlarge when clicked.


In principle, however, Gainsight does offer this feature, where images are stored in a larger format displayed in smaller size and then enlarge to full size when clicked.
So the problem here isn’t that Gainsight is inferior, but rather an issue caused by an improper migration.
My suspicion is that during the migration, only the smaller resized image files that Khoros used for display in the thread were transferred, and not the original image files in their original size.

As long as the data from the old Khoros forum is still available, you should urgently save the larger images and attach them to the posts in Gainsight the correct way so that they can be displayed there in a reasonably readable (original) size when clicked.


There are many threads and posts where the response consisted solely of screenshots, which initially appear small and barely legible but, when clicked, were displayed at a usable size and/or could be saved in original size.
These responses no longer are valuable, as the images are too small.

I, too, recently switched to often just attaching images and not uploading files—since the bug in Khoros made it impossible to directly attach Mathcad files—because I found the need to zip them too tedious and cumbersome.

 

I consider this a severe problem which should be fixed soon as I suppose that access to the original Khoros content will not be available forever.
And we had seen damaged threads, lost threads and lost attachments too often in the past when PTC migrated from one forum software to another.

Can you provide a couple of examples?  I’d like to look at them as well.

Thanks for your feedback.
From your examples I see that not all posts seem to be affected.
I don't remember which threads I came across while searching for specific items that bothered me, but it seems that at the time, all the ones I visited looked affected.
Since then, I've also seen threads on the Mathcad forum where images actually do enlarge when clicked, e.g.,
https://community.ptc.com/mathcad-7/computing-speed-and-cpu-performance-consumption-with-different-combinations-of-if-statement-171899?postid=695499#post695499

So I was wrong in thinking that its a general problem concerning all migrated postings.
It looks like I am not allowed to edit the subject of the thread, though.

 

I quickly flipped through the last postings (before migration) in the Mathcad forum and here is what I found:

Here is a post with rather small and unreadable pics. Its not a post of mine but if they would have been posted that way originally there would have been answers moaning about the illegibility.

Or here - According to my reply there, the user seemed to have not attached his worksheet initially. Nonetheless I commented on some "grad..." function I saw in the pictures. I would not have been able to do so using the images provided now after migration.

Here is one of mine and I am pretty sure that the picture with the highlighted (in yellow) expressions was provided in larger size back then

Sometimes the image is displayed even smaller when clicked on (I am pretty sure that the image I embedded there was larger but can't say for sure as I don't save and keep the images on my side)
https://community.ptc.com/mathcad-7/odesolve-block-won-t-solve-172108?postid=699829#post699829

Here another one where the image gets smaller upon clicking on it

It seems that the resizing of images we applied in Khoros when we embedded pictures had not been repsected in migrating. Possibly because Gainsight seems not to provide this feature of being able to chose the display size of a picture.


!!!!
Here is a new problem: All embedded images were lost during migration in this posting and got replaced by the text "grafik.png". Its a post of mine and I am absolutely sure that the images were present in Khoros).

Hello ​@Werner_E,

you could be right with your assumption.
I'm almost certain that the picture describing the idea "https://community.ptc.com/creo-parametric-ideas-180/adjust-method-to-redefine-2d-drawing-dimensions-in-case-of-changing-model-components-170694" used to be of better quality.

And the pictures at following idea also were better in the past:
