NEED HELP FAST with mugshot page

liza wallis · Aug 31, 2001

I updated the mugshot page last night and all three of the additions were there. Then someone wanted a change to their photo. I made the change and re-edited the page. Now three hours and countless tries late, I cannot for the life of me get these three folks to show up on the page.

I am using netscape (I know, old and crude, but I am not a web designer as you must have noticed!) to create the page.

I have renamed all the photos
I have renamed the directory
I have reloaded everyone's photo

I have tried and tried and tried and tried and still I can't get Edmund, AJaye or todd to appear on the page.

Anyone who knows of something else I can try, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible. This is soooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating.

my apologies to Edmund, Ajaye and Todd... I will get you back up and running just as soon as someone can help me straighten this out.

Heh Liza - I'll take a stab...

Possible problems: doublecheck the typing of your linked images - I'm not sure, but case sensitivity might matter here (i.e. "picture.jpg" may not equal "Picture.jpg"). Or, doublecheck to make sure your new photos are indeed jpg's. It's possible that they are tif's or something else, even though they might erroneously be called jpg.

Hmm... that's all that's comes to mind right off. Let me know if this helps or not. Good luck!

David...

The typing has been checked and rechecked and all photos are jpg. I appreciate your stab, but I am afraid we are still three mugs short! It just seems like it is some quirk of the netscape program and my computer. But I am sure someone will nail a fix. i hope I hope I hope!

Thanks again

Hmm...sorry! I should have read your first post a little more carefully - since the pictures worked before, of course they are jpg's.

I can't think of any other common mistakes offhand, but I'm not an expert web person - I use GoLive and usually let it do all the coding work! My only other thought, and it's a long shot, is that your pictures are appearing, but they are too far to the right, and are off the screen without scrolling. But I realize that's probably not it.

Well, I'm sure you'll eventually get things straightened out. I'll post again if I think of anything. You could even post your code here if you think that might help.

The thing is David that my new file just is not saving as anything. I even tried creating a new page with a new name and still those three photos don't show up. Everything was just fine last night. Now, no matter what I do to the page it becomes locked in this form. I am thinking of trying to make a page two and see if that works. It is not a great solution, but it is the only one I can think of for now. Or maybe it wont recognize a link to page two either!

Please include the address to your page and I will look at the HTML to see if I can find anything wrong. Netscape tends to do quirky things if you edit pages. It could be possible that it commented out your changes.

Nate, thanks for your offer to help. Turns out it was my own tired stupidity and not Netscape's (for a change) that resulted in all this trouble. The page is now fully updated and can be viewed at:

Thanks again to you and to David for trying to help.

Liza, I'm sure that we ALL are very appreciative of your efforts on our behalf.

Have you considered setting-up a Yahoo facility for the 69ers mugshots album?

I ask, because I am quite short of time, and this could also relieve you of alot of short-term webpage admin.

I can be slow to respond to messages in this group (aswell as being on an expensive for me, dial-up connection in the UK.)

Here is a link to what I have put up so far. Not much, but I hope to add some more this weekend.

You'll find a tongue-in-cheek design for a 69ers SweatShirt also.

Edmund... my own sleepy stupidity caused the inconvenience. You have nothing to apologize for. Plus, I have now learned valuable lesson in keeping my web files organized and paying attention.

Batty....

I LOVE the sweatshirt... great sense of humor. Thanks for my first good laugh of the day.

I am thinking about other ways to present the page now that we are growing in numbers. What I have is getting sloppy perhaps a change is in order. Hadn't considered yahoo... maybe that is a good idea.
