Link to Us pictures


In my footer, I have a collection of small little images that people can use to link to us, but for some reason, they haven't shown up on my board for a while as anything other than a box with an "x" in it. I checked the links, and nothing changed. They used to show up fine. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Re: Link to Us pictures


That's interesting, because I can see them fine. (Using Win XP and Firefox 1.5) - I hope you are talking about the afiliate pictures.

Maybe the following can help:

- empty your cache

- check your browser settings just in case you are blocking any images (I checked that once by mistake, took me a while to realize what was wrong)

I hope that helps. If not, could you specify your browser?

Re: Link to Us pictures


The "Affiliates" images show up, but the images under "Link to us" do not.  On IE, they show up as red X's.  In Firefox, you don't see anything at all.  It looks to me like blogger.com doesn't allow hotlinking, since those images do show up when I put the urls directly into my browser.

If you were seeing those images before, it's only because they were stored in your cache, and other people have not seen them unless they saw them at blogger.com like you did.

Try hosting those images at imageshack.us or photobucket instead, and that will solve your problem. emoticon

Re: Link to Us pictures


Thanks to both of you guys, I appreciate how much you're helping me.

I did store them in photobucket, but I'll try moving them to imageshack or something when I get a chance.

Thanks guys!

You're welcome, Eratosthenese. emoticon

When you upload images to a new host, you need to change the code to reflect that change.  The code you currently have in your HTML footer is still trying to call up the images hosted at blogger.com.  There shouldn't be a need to re-upload them again if you've already uploaded them to photobucket.  Just change the HTML in your footer to the photobucket urls and it should be fine.
