an issue regarding quoting posts

i have noticed that if i quote someones post that has a picture in it the picture disappears and all that appears is a quoted post with nothing in it but the text if any. this of course is an annoyance if i am commenting on the picture because people will not know what i am doing if the picture is not there.
so why does this happen? it never used to. it also doesnt seem to happen to anyone else.

    I'm sure it always used to because it annoyed me that people included a repeat of what would usually be a picture irrelevant to the reply.

    I'll put a small picture in and check what happens if I quote it.

    OK quoting includes the pic. Maybe it is size related?

    Apparently not.

    All I can suggest is that sausage fingers may be causing the problem:o

    so as you can see only the text remained. so imagine if i quote a post with a pic from several pages back. no-one will have clue what i am talking about.

    Something to do with trying to conserve space on the servers?-I'm sure even MSE's do not have unlimited capacity...
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    The pictures aren't stored on MSE's servers, so it's nothing to do with that.
