Hi All,
Am I being stupid or not? I have been trying to upload photos to my web and doing everything I normally do but I am just getting the cross. instead of picture.  Could it be my hosting company ( who on their site say there are no issues at present ) or could I have too many photos already on- if so how would I know?
Thanks in advance from a very basic webmaster !

Well, G'day there, littlescruffs.

You haven't given us much to go on.   A bit more info might help.

In the mean time, here's the best I can suggest:

Usually, when these things go wrong, it's some minor mistake that I've made.

And when I find the mistake, I call myself bad names for being so silly.

Looks like the problem is that the image is not uploaded at all, or else is uploaded to somewhere other than where your html says it is. Do you have some way to check what files you have on your host web space? I'm guessing you're using an online site builder, so viewing your files and folders could be difficult.

So try this:

Right click on the [X] that's where the photo should be. Then click Properties. Look at the URL. Is that where you meant to put it?

Just another thing you might check on:

I see you have some difficulty with file sizes for your images. Maybe the problem lies there. For instance, have you got a new camera and gone from 2Mp to 12Mp images, and they simply take too long to load? Dunno. Just looking for the problem.

If that doesn't help, give us a bit more info and someone can have a look.

Regards,
Laurie.

One of the most common mistakes I've made was using jpg instead of JPG. Some camera's or software packages save images slightly different.

When it comes to code, it's gotta be exact.

yes they will be the two most likely causes - path to the image is incorrect or incorrect file name convention.

If your hosting is on the linux side you cant get away with anything. For example

picture.jpg is completely different from Picture.jpg
as is
picture.jpg completely different from picture.jpeg or picture.JPG

I would imagine that is where you are going wrong. Like Laurie said, it only ends in calling yourself mean names

Hello All, Thank you for all your answers and sorry Laurie I will explain a bit better. Here goes:-
I use frontpage (sorry!) and my hosting company is 123-reg who aren't the quickest at coming back with an answer as I have been waiting a few days now. I have been uploading my photos as usual doing nothing different at all but they are only coming through as a cross  on the internet.
It isn't because they are too large ( although that is something I do need to deal with later -another question maybe!!)
Could it be I have too many in my images for my package and how would I know? I can still open new pages and the text comes through just not the images
Thank you

Thats okay... after all, you have apologized

Can you give us a link to the page that isnt working, it wont be because of to many pics, if you use up all your bandwidth... you wont get to the point where you can see a little x.

Chances are more likely that fp just got its wires crossed... which means you will probably get to go play in some code once we figure it out.

Hi
When ever I have this problem its always a problem with the path to image.

I use web expression - the new version of frontpage- some times find that changing the path from src="images/   to src="./images/ can help

Try typing in the path to the image directly into the browser to see if the image is there then compare the url to the path used on the webpage

ie http://www.miniaturemohairbears.co.uk/i … %20(2).jpg gives the picture on your home page

Good luck

Oh this sounds exciting. Well I have put photos on
www.miniaturemohairbears.co.uk/bears and
www.miniaturemohairbears.co.uk/bear making courses
I also put someone elses banner on my links page which also didn't work so I took it off.
Hope that is what you asked for
Thank you

bear.htm doesnt exist apparently

And bears.htm comes up and i can view all the images... no x's are you sure these were the correct pages?

sorry, that should have been
www.miniaturemohairbears.co.uk/bears.htm   
Also sent it before your message Allenion and have since tried what you say but still getting the cross.

Too fast for me Ryan_Steyn!!!
The bear.htm should all be okay (as I uploaded them some time ago) except the first one "Broc " which is the latest photo that I tried to put up over the last few days. Also I only created the bear making courses page a few days ago and those pictures won't upload either
Thanks for your perseverance

This one doesnt work (Bear making courses)

Im not going to start on why the coding is so wrong (frontpage is the gift that keeps on giving i guess) but if i go to those urls i cant view the ones that dont work, but i can view the one that does.

The pages are the same relative to the images folder, the links to the images share the same problems. Which can only mean that your images dont exist online yet. Can you get hold of your host and find out if they are experiencing problems with their servers?  Explain to them what is happening, you may find it is something they are tinkering with on their side. Frontpage should have uploaded those images when it uploaded the page.

Alternatively, browse to the "images" folder and make sure the pics that arent appearing are in there, then synchronize with the online "images" folder

hmm I am sure it is my hosting company. I have been waiting days for their answer to my question. Their site says there are no issues but I have yet to receive a personal reply. Thank you anyway and I shall let you know the outcome.
Cheers

I havnt used frontpage but in expression the images folder is uploaded seperately .
both files - online and local can be viewed to indentify changes etc

OK, now.

www.miniaturemohairbears.co.uk/bears.htm is working perfectly. Page loads and all images load.

Regards,
Laurie.

not with me

Nor me. It was only the 1st one I was having trouble with plus some on other pages. I ended up ringing my hosting company and he didn't know what the problem was and has passed it on to someone else as he thinks perhaps I have exceeded my hosting package and might need to upgade. Meanwhile I have been getting rid of loads of old photos  and it is still not right????

find thew ebsite file on your comp - presume my docs/ my websites right click then properties will give you the size of file

123-reg hosting claims starter 100mg, starter plus 250mg storage so presuming that all your images are in the website folder you should be able to see if the claim of exceeding your package is true.

Hi Allenion. It says
size 110mb
size on disc 114mb
contains 1983 files and 80 folders

So that means I haven't exceeded then if mb is same as mg ( sorry if I sound thick lol) ?
