**All** old issues (more than 2 years) have lost their images.
eg: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/17860](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/17860)
Not practical at all.

Their data as well, this is very bad. Old issue can’t be reproduced anymore.

that is bad indeed. Mind emailing sysadmins and letting them know? Something possibly happened during one of the upgrades. Maybe it’s fixable.

Oof. At worst, backups should be available to rummage through and try and find them again.

I emailed sysadmins, FYI.

Good catch, Mathieu! Keep up the good work!
(By the way, this is why we put a second set of eyes on resolving bugs!)

Quick note to inform that very old issues are not impacted since their data is still on mantis.
