Hello Mike.
Thank you for your feedback. Just navigated through your site – can’t reproduce issue with images disappear. Can you please give me some additional steps to reproduce this issue? This is really important for us, because for now – we can’t reproduce it there, or on any of our test servers.
And about images upload scripts – yes, we are using media library. But you want an option to make it work without it? Can you little clarify this point:
“in advance of trying to use the editor to add it to a page”
?
