Hi. Is there meant to be a photo with this observation?

Yes sorry - I seem to be dropping a number of photos. How do I reload the photos?

Go in via edit on the top right. From my experience, the reasons it tends to drop photos have been if any are more than 10 MB in size, if that helps in your case.
