Not an answer, but doesn't really fit in a comment.

Glorfindel ran a script to find and try to repair/replace linked images. His answer includes a link to a (very long) output of results. Searching for "mathoverflow" jumps to the results for MathOverflow (and also meta.mathoverflow). Many images were successfully replaced. There are only a handful of uncertainties or failures. Here they are (I "snipped" out the successful replacements):

## mathoverflow.net

Here is my attempt to make easier links to the MO and meta.MO posts (some of them have several broken/missing images, I just put one link for each post):

  1. Existence of an integral equation (Faedo-Galerkin, Banach fixed point, Picard-Lindelof)

  2. Numerical instability using only Heun's method on a simple PDE

  3. When to throw away data

  4. What are good ways to 'relax' a uniform approximation into independent saddle-point expressions once the uniform approach is no longer needed?

  5. Why does the area function of a parallelogram have a nonintuitive geometric solution?

  6. https://mathoverflow.net/questions/35780

  7. https://mathoverflow.net/questions/375339

    This gif has been replaced and it seems to be the correct one.

  8. Symmetries of the Julia sets for $z^2+c$

  9. How to formulate such problem mathematically? (line continuation search)

  10. The hexagonal property of Pascal's triangle

  11. What is the status of the imgur images on MathOverflow?

  12. https://meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/773
