So, Bern's blog here Using images as custom point symbols tells how to do this - and I have done this, many times, over time. But, as of yesterday, however, my symbols keep disappearing on my maps where I have uploaded these little images to AGOL, then get them working, something happens and they are disappearing from the maps - not just one, but from all of the ones that I have made, using these - it just leaves a blank space in the legend where the custom symbol should be. It was there before, and functioning - now it is not.
I have had to go start all over again, re-inserting the link to the image, re-sizing, etc. Late last night, the image would not load up, then suddenly, it did.
Now today, just within the past hour, the symbols have disappeared from the maps again - maps are not edited or changed when this is happening - they are saved maps. It seems that something underlying is breaking these - in AGOL, maybe?
Anyone else having these issues? This is using the tried and true old Map Viewer in AGOL, not the new beta one.
We rely on being able to do this because the "out of the box" symbols do not have what we need. Any insight into this issue will be very helpful to us.
