Links to photographs and links to external websites

[ideasguy]

Ive been looking through the forum pages "Users active in past 1440 minutes:" have clicked and reading the content.
I am horrified to see the number of websites which have gone off line since links to external websites were posted on this forum.

The forum has been going many years now, so sadly I guess that has to be expected.

Thats bad enough, but many links to my own photos no longer work.
That was caused when my hosting service (Easily.uk) migrated all my websites to new servers some time ago.
The new servers are case sensitive.
As an example some of the good work by Eric (palustris) have ceased to work:

I haven't had time to fix them!
Ive contacted Easily and the support guy has said he has "fixed" it, but it will take 24 to 48 hours before they show correctly.
Keep clicking the link to see if that works!
To be continued...

Still not working

Clicking on the BIG photo in the left panel moves to the NEXT photo in the web project by Palustris using Ideas Genie Pro 6

The two little icons below, bottom left and bottom right of each BIG photo are Arrows (previous and next respectively).
Currently they are also not showing as arrows but they do still perform their navigation duty.

For comparison, these two images in the set ARE (and were already) working
http://www.ideasforgardens.net/palustris/Pershore/Garden-Photos-1-19.html on Page 1 of 3
and
http://www.ideasforgardens.net/palustris/Pershore/Garden-Photos-3-8.html on Page 3 of 3
When they ALL show then I'll know that Easily have fixed he issue.

Still not working.

[ideasguy]

Same here! I will contact Easily again tomorrow.

[ideasguy]

Ive reported it again to Easily this morning.

[Palustris]

Is it just my images which do not appear or is it everyone else who has created albums.
And, rather than me having to find the originals could I alter whatever it does not like on Ideas?

[ideasguy]

No, the problem is in our posts with photos over the years and another web project with photos Eric.

Easily have replied this morning and information I sent and provided about the issue has been sent to their Tier 2 team to try and resolve the issue.

[ideasguy]

Easily have replied and it looks like they cant help.

Hi George,
 
The tier two admin team got back to us regarding your web issue and has returned from our investigation.

Please note that any code you input for the website is case-sensitive, and file paths must be correctly specified in the code for them to open.

I found your file 'campanula fragilis-3680-650.jpg' in the folder /palustris/Pershore/, and it opens correctly, as shown in the attached screenshot.

Unfortunately, we do not provide support for coding issues. However, we would like to note that it is not recommended to use spaces in file names when uploading them to a server or opening them in a browser.

Spaces in URLs get encoded as %20, which makes links harder to read and can cause issues if not handled properly.

Instead, use:
1. Underscores: campanula_fragilis-3680-650.jpg
2. Hyphens (preferred for SEO): campanula-fragilis-3680-650.jpg 

If you need help with anything else, please feel free to reach out and ask

NOT what I wanted to hear!

That makes life hard. Had a look for the original files, but failed to find them . I have dozens of CD's with stuff on them, but the contents are not listed on the packages, too much like hard work when I saved them.
I also have a horrible feeling that I did not save the files I put on site, only the original images.

[Palustris]

The originals are all on Photobucket which is no good as it is a pay for use site now. They will not even let one download your own images without paying.

[ideasguy]

That is just plain cruel Eric.
I have CD's you sent me. Do they have the originals?

[Palustris]

Photobucket has copies. The original images are on CDs somewhere in our Loft.

[ideasguy]

Good thinking Eric!
