Pictures don't show up? Red crosses

Hi can anybody explain why my photos aren't showing up. I add them but they don't show on the published site and when I log out and log in again, they're just the same - white boxes with little red cross in the corner.

Any help appreciated.

Hi, welcome to TWF Angie Smiling

A link to the site or showing some code often helps.

I'm going to "guess" you are pointing the HTML image tag to the wrong place. Or the image doesn't exist.

I.E.
<img src="make_sure_this_is_correct">

Hi Greg, thanks but I don't know what you mean. In creative I insert a picture the way I'm supposed to, browse and upload it, and set it for left alignment. It looks fine until I preview or log out and log in again, when it disappears.

<img height="300" alt="" src="/usersitesv22/cardiffcaninecitizens.com/wwwroot/userimages/iStock_000001145617XSmall.jpg" width="400" align="right" border="0" />

can you show me your site link where your images are not coming. Its should show? i thing there is some mistake with your code, the image code should be like this

<img src="your_image_source" border="1" align="left" alt="Your Image" title="Your Image" width="95" height="95">

Try this hope it will work good.
Thanks.

What are you using to build your site? And you're relying on the tool to upload your photos to the right place?

As the others have said, the missing photos means that the photo files aren't where the HTML is looking for them. So either the tool you're using didn't upload them correctly or it didn't put the right file reference into the HTML.

The bit in the src=" " has to point exactly to the place where you image is saved.

So if your image is called image.jpg, and is saved in a directory called "images", the image code would need to look like this:
<img src="/images/image.jpg">

Yours currently is this:

src="/usersitesv22/cardiffcaninecitizens.com/wwwroot/userimages/iStock_000001145617XSmall.jpg"

Is that where the image is saved?

I'll take a wild guess that the following would work:
<img height="300" alt="" src="/userimages/iStock_000001145617XSmall.jpg" width="400" align="right" border="0" />

But it also depends also where you are calling the image. I.E. relative and absolute paths.
