This is the post in question https://superuser.com/questions/117623/inserting-a-jpg-picture-into-a-cell-in-microsoft-excel-2007 If you click on the duplicate you get taken to https://superuser.com/questions/584650/how-do-i-load-external-images-into-excel If you click on that, you are returned to the first link. This means, I think, that https://superuser.com/questions/117623/inserting-a-jpg-picture-into-a-cell-in-microsoft-excel-2007 should be re-opened; it's not a duplicate if it came first? The problem is, I'm trying to close https://superuser.com/questions/767203/excel-filling-images-using-a-reference-image as a duplicate to the above but I can't: ![enter image description here][1] So, I guess this just means the system can't handle this and therefore the duplicate rules that site applies can't be applied in this case? Is this a bug in the sense we can't close posts like this. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/VHu2k.png
