Cannot always see image attached to notifications

[Porphyry Kimono]

I get a lot of notifications from stores and groups about clothes and sales and usually I look at each of them. I've eliminated the ones that are just noise, so the notifications that I receive are generally welcome.

The thing is, when an image is attached to the notification, I can usually double-click it and view the image. But this doesn't always work. When it doesn't work, I get the usual message "A group member has given you such-and-such" (where such-and-such is the name of the image), but the image doesn't appear.  It's also not in my inventory or trash.

I can't see anything different about the messages that don't work.  Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

thanks!

group notification attachments have always been problematic for me also, dunno why

they tend to not persist between logins (timeout, go stale, something) and for me only work when I get the group message while logged in

when so then only way I know how to get it, is open the group profile and find it in the group notices list and click the Open Attachment button

Thanks, @Mollymews -- good to know I'm not the only one, and good hint!
