    The pic is not showing up...Why? I don't know

    But you can try uploading the pic through FTp into the images folder and naming the pic alpha-girls.jpg

    Maybe that will help. :)

    That's exactly what I did. The image is there. Wordpress isn't displaying it. I'm baffled.

    Have you tried reuploading it? Maybe it didn't upload correctly.

    stephfoster, the image is uploaded, and re-uploaded... I tried reducing color depth and getting an alternate version. The best i could get it to do was to display a very corrupted pixelated image.

    I've given up for now. At the moment, I'm wondering if it's IE security - I can't even get http://www.psychlinks.ca/blog/images/alpha-girls.jpg to display the image, though it's definitely there on my server.

    I can't see the image using the above URL, on any of the browsers i.e. Firefox or IE.

    One thing more I even can't see any <img> tag in the post you mentioned.

    Doh!

    Sorry, guys, and thanks for all your attempts to help.

    The problem? My FTP program was inadvertently uploading the image as ASCII not binary :eek:

    After few refreshes I can see the image now on your post. The image path is different than you mentioned above. I guess you are doing something at the moment :D

    max pain, see the posts just above yours - it was a bad upload via a misconfigured FTP program.

    I used to inadvertently upload files in the wrong format on occasion, which was quite embarrassing when paying customers tried to open the downloaded zipped file and couldn't. Then I set my FTP program to the 'auto ASCII' setting which automatically detects the format of the file and uploads it in the proper format. Haven't had a problem since. I'm using FTP Voyager, but I'm sure many or most FTP programs offer the same config option.

    I *always* have my FTP set for "automatic" mode -- except this time. I recall I was trying to help update someone else's website and having a problem with a corrupted file so I changed the setting to force ASCII mode and forgot to set it back. :eek:
