    Thanks for the time Trenloe, appreciated ... but that's not the issue either. Every one of my various campaigns is various rulesets is set up exactly the same. I think it's a specific map issue. I can drag room descriptions to other maps in the image folder and they are preserved. I will delete all the images from the Campaign/Images folder and replace them ...

    Hmmm, interesting.

    What is the resolution of the map? What graphic file type is it (PNG, JPG)? Has there been any additional optimization/compression done on the file?

    Try converting it to JPG and see if the issue remains.

    It's usually recommended to use JPG for images/maps, and PNG for tokens. Whereas you can use PNG for maps, it's usually a bit more efficient to use JPG - as these will usually have smaller file sizes and so share with players quicker.

    Anything funny about the map name? Accented or special characters?

    Stuart were you able to pinpoint the issue. If so I would be curious what it is so I can see if I can recreate it and if it is something that I can fix in the ruleset.

    Sorry folks = yes, issue sorted. Redid a map and replaced an old version with a new version so, duh .... pins lost. Weirdly - the new map was reluctant to accept pins - no idea why. So, I deleted ALL images ... replaced them ALL with copies i.e "rebuilt" the Image folder and .... fixed. I have no idea why ... but 'tis fixed. Thanks for the time and sagacious advice.

    I've had an issue when I have edited a file after sharing it to my players.

    Example
    - shared a image without realising it was 10MB (e.g. dungeon_map.jpg)
    - before next session resized image and overwrote the original in the \Images folder
    - next session when I opened the (resized) image players were unable to see image
    - had to rename the image ie dungeon_map_2.jpg
    - all OK!

    After thinking about it, I realised the stupidity of changing an image that I had already shared... duh!!

    Not sure if this is connected in some way to your problem.
