Interestingly, the code *isn’t* there in the lesswrong markdown editor.
In the past month or so, when we added the markdown editor, we made some changes to how the markdown and Rich editors work (basically making it sure every time the post is saved, it updates both versions of the data to be in sync with each other). If the last time you made a post with images was a month+ ago that might be related.
(I think you said greaterwrong specifically saves what _it_ remembers you entering for markdown, so that you don’t have to deal with frustration of our markdown editor, say, preferring underscores to asterixes. Is it possible the code that you still see is a result of that saved version?)
Hmm – apparently this just happened again when Kaj moved the post to curated. Apologies, but could you try re-saving it on greaterwrong again? I haven’t had time to fix the images bug yet.
It looks like opening a markdown post in the rich editor causes all the images to disappear, which probably happened when Ben moved the post to frontpage.
The former. But this hasn’t happened before…
Edit: Also, the code for the images is still there when I edit the post…! They just don’t display…

It seems that I have now fixed it by opening the post for editing (on GW) and re-saving it (without changing anything).

Done.

Ah, that sounds plausible.
