    I made my own buttons to put on my website. I uploaded the index file and tried it but it only showed the page and no buttons just an x where the button is suppose to b. I then loaded the buttons I madeand they were Gif but the page still shows an empty spot where the buttons are suppose to be. I tried to save them as image/index_htm_smartbutton2884.gif but windows said that was an invalid file name. I linked the buttons and when I preview the page it worked fine. Anyone know what wrong? :(

    Instead of using / should I use _? I tried to just name it smartbutton13666.gif and upload it but that didn't work either.

    It may help if you give the link to the html code.
    May be there's some code incompatibility or error.

    Where did you upload your images??

    Here is the code you used
    Creat folder "images" and upload your image file "index_htm_smartbutton10784.gif" in that folder.

    As Yiam said you should upload your images in a folder named "images"(under the root folder).
    When I checked your images I found one in the root folder.
    This is an image you uploaded.

    http://www.publicpursuithunting.com./smartbutton13666.gif

    But the images are supposed to be here
    http://www.publicpursuithunting.com./images/index_htm_smartbutton28848.gif
    http://www.publicpursuithunting.com./images/index_htm_smartbutton28906.gif
    http://www.publicpursuithunting.com./images/index_htm_smartbutton31062.gif
    http://www.publicpursuithunting.com./images/index_htm_smartbutton29367.gif
    ........... You should see the images when you go to these urls as you can see in the top url. when i checked these urls there's no image at all.

    If you still have problem, feel free to contact me, I can help you with the codes and all.:D

    And if all the suggestions above don't solve the problem and you are sure you are linking to the proper place for your images, shorten the filename.

    I got into a situation a couple of weeks ago where that was the only thing that would solve the problem. Still don't know if it was a caching issue or if there is an actual limit.

    In my case I could view the image file when I used mydomain/images/longfilename.jpg but it would not show up when called from an html page.
