I used Visual Site Designer on my homepage and all seemed good except when I uploaded the page none of the images show up. I guess I don't get where the pictures I put on the page should be in relation to the page. When I try to upload the pictures individually to my website it says I am not using a valid file name. Anybody have any thoughts on what novice mistake I am making. Keep in mind my original website was made with netscape navigator gold. Yes, I am a bit outdated. Thanks for any help.

Hiya Sandra,

Did you use VSD to do the uploading of your site or did you do it manually yourself with an FTP program?

I used vsd to upload it. After some pensive thinking and looking around, I got the html editor fired up and found that my pictures had been loaded with a "file/" in front of each name. So I deleted that, reloaded it and it worked well. Found a couple of other glitched like that. Lesson learned. VSD is not perfect. But I have to say it is a pretty sweet tool and I will be trying some new things with it. Right now uploading through the vsd is my only option as I'll be darned if I can get my host server to accept me.

Hi Sandra,
Just a quick note, whenever you add an image in VSD it gets placed in a folder called "files", of course there are those times when you add an image and the code just shows "files/" .
What I've always did was a "resync website" and it's worked so far.

With whom are you hosted with? maybe someone here has the same hosting and can be of more help.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. there was "files" in the code. Once I deleted that I got the images to come up. My website is hosted by Earthlink. Will resyncing get rid of the "files/" ? Thanks for the input.

Hi Sandra,
Resyncing will not stop the images from being in the files folder, the program is made that way. Even when making a folder called images, and adding the images from that folder, and adding the folder and it's content using the add files option, it still adds the images to the files folder. I don't see why you need to change that, it should still work with the files folder that VSD makes and uploads with the website.
