BANNER IMAGES CHANGING FOR NO REASON...

What is your source code saying? I have a couple of sites with the same use of different sized images, and they are working fine. Here is the code of the relevant part of one of them:

<picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]-->
<source srcset="./img/SAM_4040-l.jpg" media="(min-width: 64em)">
<source srcset="./img/SAM_4040-m.jpg" media="(min-width: 40em)"><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img alt="Placeholder Picture" src="./img/SAM_4040-s.jpg">
</picture>

Does yours look the same? Mine was done with SD3.0. I haven't made any such site recently, so I don't know if there is something different in the code now in newer SD versions.

So are the banners a symbol on each page?
And does this issue happen when you perhaps add the banner image as a symbol to another page?

It looks essentially the same Wayan, the only thing that I am wondering is in the name of the images. I have left spaces in the names which show up as "%20" when I should be using an underscore. I wonder if that could have something to do with it?

It would be funny if that was all it was!

Nope that wouldn't cause it, so are you saying that you haven't made those banners using symbols

No, just as images. Not sure what advantage a symbol would have. Can you explain that for me?

No advantage was just trying to find out if you had used symbols BCS you said it happens on every page. If you had been using the symbol thingy then that would have been a good place to start looking. But as you haven't then it's back to the drawing board.

Mind you.
You could try re-naming the images within your resources folder to see if that makes a difference, but I doubt it .
Renaming from within resources means SD will change the path accordingly
Automatically so your images won't disappear

Don't spend any more time on this Wayan... I'm sure you have better things to do. I'll keep track of the issue and see if I can pinpoint when it happens. Thanks again!

Well it's my time and my curiosity

I have tried and tried to replicate the issue, re-named the images to have spaces instead of hyphens etc as I suspected that didn't make any difference.
I have tried it with 10 projects some with up to 10 pages some with 2 or 3 some using symbols to insert the images, some using duplicate page etc, & never an occurrence of your issue. I don't delve too deeply into the tecky side of things messing about with code etc (leave that to the tecky gurus)
The only time I had something close was if I had another image somewhere on a page that had the same class name as the banner image and was given a different size (this was a deliberate action to see ) I assume that this would not be the case in your project), but that was the only time I could sort of replicate it, and of course it did.t effect the banner images on every page

You included the words "FOR NO REASON" in the title of this thread I have to say that Site Designer doesn't do anything without a reason, it can't do anything without it being told to do something be that by a user either telling it to do something if it cannot do it,(hence an error) or not telling it to do something (therefore nothing happens) OR some deeper technical thingy, over which we as users have no control and needs to be looked at by tecky people.

So now my advice is to let CC support know, now, there is no need to wait until it happens again because the error log file will already have indicated the errors that happen during the course of a project session
Unless of course, you haven't activated the error log file, in which case you should do that the next time you open the project file so that the tecky gurus can take a bo peek to see whats going on.

Sorry I haven't been able to find out anything that's not obvious or replicate the issue.
Good luck with it and I hope that someone will be able to discover what is going on and fix it

Just a thought - perhaps too simple, but then I find it's sometimes the simple things that catch me out.

I'm assuming that the switching of the pictures is done in a single picture element, i.e. by using the Picture edit icon in the Element panel > Selected Element Properties. If such a setup is done while SD is set with Design For Display Grid, then the problem will occur as soon as one changes SD to Design For Fallback First.
