ATTENTION EEVBLOG ADMINS: attachments mixup???
pqass:
Oh FFS, now my later message got updated with the corrected attachment from the first message!!!! It's whack-a-mole WTF!
How f*k'n hard is it to implement a create GUID for file name upon upload and embed that in the message. Then run a background job to look for orphans once a month. JFC!

Μy guess is that it has to do with the two plugins that were added (at once, no less) to “improve” attachment handling a while back, which were buggy from the get go, and my guess is that some subsequent update to the core forum software really broke things well and proper now.
pqass:
Okay, I've now deleted the offending embedded attachment links in both my earlier messages.
And I've attached below a new file to this post to see if this screws-up my earlier messages.
EDIT: Okay. I think everything is okay now. My attachment below isn't screwing up the attachments in my earlier posts.
MORAL: Just use the default "End-of-post exandable thumbnail" for all future attachments.

In my experience, that doesn't solve the problem.

Yes, we know, it's been brought up in several threads already. The cause seems to be unknown but it's being looked at.
