Broken Images on included files

artsculture · August 5th, 2005, 01:18 PM

We use included files for header, footer and side navigation on all pages of our website, Vbulletin and Photopost Gallery. For some odd reason, images in Photopost classifieds, don't show up from time to time. We get broken links instead. We've tested on IE and Firefox and both have the same problem.
All image paths are correct and in fact if an image URL is copied and pasted into a browser, the image shows up.
Any thoughts on this strange happening?

Any thoughts on this Photopost staff? I'd like to go live but can't with broken logos and images. This problem seems to be only with Photopost classifieds.

well if your using included files the one thing comes mind to me is are you using full path to images. relative paths can lead to images not being found when they are ran over a directory they dont exist in

As I explained, "All image paths are correct and in fact if an image URL is copied and pasted into a browser, the image shows up."

The images show up sometimes and disappear at other times. I'd be glad to PM the URL if you care to take a look.

If your using htaccess etc to block images then you need to correct that to work with your files. since you use subdomains this is your issue. Thats why coping the link to the browser works and not when it is shown over the classifieds domain

Thank you very much. Our server has hotlinking disabled. Sorry about that.
