I understand that, that's why I clarified they were copies of the same image. And, they were uploaded to the same thread, and attempted to be seen by the same person so if only one can be seen there must be something else going on. There must be somehow be different permissions for each image that is not overridden by the CP settings

Anyway, if you think what might be the cause of that let me know, otherwise I'll keep an eye on things to see if it happens again.
