Picture problem

I've fixed a few on some posts, but there are many others with no images because I have to manually re-upload those images, some of which I no longer have and I don't have time to make graphics. Sorry guys! I'm going to be deleting a lot of posts, which is too bad because I was almost at 200 posts. :/ I fixed my last post which you can see here :
