Hi,
I have made several attempts to upload photos to my member page. Each attempt results only in red x's appearing.
Here's my page:

I have read the short instruction page on how to do this, to no avail.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Derek,

Once I'm back on my regular system I'll take a peek at your page and let you know what's happening.

Thank you, Jen.

It looks like the graphic in the file was referring to the wrong thing. I just fixed it so the photo is now appearing.

Thank you,

Thank you, Jen.

However, could you please tell me what I did wrong? Or how to do it properly?

That photo was just a last ditch effort on my behalf to get something to work, anything, hence that thumbnail file. I would like to upload photos of my car.

Thank you again,
D

Hi Derek,

What did you use to create your index page? Word, frontpage....??

I used Word.

Hi Derek..!

OK - when WORD creates a "page" - it makes a "sub directory"... Sound confusing??

So - since you are using the "upload" feature in your browser (which can't create "sub directories) - you need to try this..... Let's say you wanted to show the picture named "yourpicture.jpg"

Open your main page (index.htm) in Notepad or a text editor...

You will see images are embedded with HTML commands like this: "index_files/yourpicture.jpg"

Change all of those "index_files/yourpicture.jpg" to "yourpicture"

Upload all the IMAGES and pages (including your main "index.htm" page)..

Let me know how that works, OK??? While it sounds "confusing" at first - it's pretty simple, once you figure out how WORD is messing about on its own..

Best to you!

Firstly, thank you for attempting to assist me with this issue.

Well, I have opened the index file via Microsoft Script Editor.

I found the text related to the jpg files.

I deleted the words "index files" and ".jpg" from each line of text.

This did not work.

Whereas I can see the photo on my page before I do this, it has now become a RED X after I do this.

Am I supposed to load all of the images onto the index file and then upload the index file to the rennlist server? OR am I supposed to create an index file and THEN upload the images onto the rennlist server? FWIW, I have tried both ways.


I do appreciate your help. However, I think I'll just describe my car if anyone asks. This is exceptionally complicated. This is my fifth attempt to make a page in the last three months. I follow your instructions and have the same results each time.

Thanks Jen and John for trying to help an idiot.

Best Regards,
Derek

Well - I wouldn't do this for just *anyone* - but you DO HAVE an exceptionally fine looking 928....

Sooooo...

Take a look....
