Auctiva will keep your deleted images in your deleted images folder for a week..then they get trashed...you should be able to restore them. If you cant get anyhting but blank images boxes..try cleaning out your browser cache and rebooting...you may also just have a bad connect to the image server...it happens to me sometimes too...I usually just reboot and reconnect and everything is fine. I love auctiva to death..but I really do wish they could find another host...I know my comp runs as smooth as silk and I know that sometimes its just a traffic issue..uploading and downloading..not enough to go around.
