Q: About half of the photos of a photo stream I share with friends is suddenly gone.  Does anybody have ever had a similar issue and a solution how to recover?

    Photo Stream only keeps photos for 30 days or 1000 photos. Have you hit either of those limits?

    It is actually a photo stream for friends/shared album (similar to shared folder).  There are about 100 pics. (but this does not seem an issue with this kind of folder) a lot of them are older than 30 days.

    Also, I cannot find a logic which pictures are missing.  Some of the ones still online are rather old (2 years and more), but our holiday in Singapore from last year for example is gone.  Also I cannot find this phenomenon with other photo streams I have with other friends.
