I did upload the new index.htm file also. Why does the index_files and
index.htm show up in the browser? I read through zillions of posts today, and
really all my files and folders ARE in the correct place. Even in my cpanel,
File Manager, when I click on a photo and view it, it shows perfect and all
the images and graphics are there, remember, it used to work. I repixed all
my pictures using PIXresizer from BlueVoda, is for an example a picture of
105.00kb too big? Must the pictures on my website filename be the same as on
my computer, or can I change it, because I did? And 1 of my pictures in
gallery even moved itself to news.htm as the header???!!! I even cleared
cache. Really what on earth is the problem here, please if anybody out there
can help me resolve this, pls David. I will even give you my password for my
cpanel if you send me your email address!
