+Postie Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I have retrived the camera from my cache above, and the pictures can be found on my Geocache page at my web page There is an e-mail link to let me know who is who! I have filled in one or two names, hope I have got them right. (Every one needs a bigger letterbox!) Quote Link to comment
+Slytherin Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 We might have more chance of seeing the pictures if the links pointed to your homepages and not your desktop. Can't wait to see why I am considered spooky Cheers Alex. Quote Link to comment

+Slytherin Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Still don't work Rob. I think this is where jeremyp comes in with some advice!!! Alex. Quote Link to comment
+SimonG Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I think the problem might be that the URL has a space in it. Try this. Edit: The link works now, but the images still point to your desktop. You need to change them from i.e. file:///C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/Web%20content/Who1.jpg to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robstewart/Who1.jpg. SimonG.org Quote Link to comment
+Postie Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 Ok how about, use the original link, and go down the page to the geocache link, then the link to the photos is at the top of that page!! Brill SimonG seems to have fixed it!!! (Every one needs a bigger letterbox!) Quote Link to comment

+The Good Shepherds Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Postie - this web page is pointing to jpg files on YOUR c: drive. Since you're permanently connected to your c: drive, you'll see the page fine. The problem is, the rest of us just see a big blank page with all the photos missing(!) You'll need to change the page as per simonG's suggestion (and also need to make sure that all the jpgs have been uploaded to your web server!) Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 We could e-mail you our postal addresses and you could send them to us, first class Quote Link to comment
+Postie Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 OK I think I know what happened! I have re-loaded the page to my web site but it may take a while to refresh. If this doesn't work Ill post the pics to any ony who wants them!! ( just joking!!) (Every one needs a bigger letterbox!) Quote Link to comment

+The Good Shepherds Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Your HTML code looks OK now, but unfortunately I don't think the jpg files have made it onto the server(!) Quote Link to comment
+SimonG Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 The jpegs are there. There are two problems with the links. 1. They all have a full stop at the end, and 2. your files end '.JPG' (upper case), with the exception of Who1.jpg, but your links end '.jpg.' (lower case). So, the links should be: Who1.jpg Who2.JPG Who3.JPG Who4.JPG Who5.JPG Who6.JPG Who7.JPG Who8.JPG Who9.JPG Who10.JPG Who11.JPG Who12.JPG Who13.JPG SimonG.org Quote Link to comment

+Postie Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 Arrrggg! If I had any hair I would pull it out I have changed all the file extentions ( I thought you only got nail or hair extentions ) and think it might be OK now. If this doesn't work I give up.

+page28 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Which package do you use to author the webpages? Frontpage isn't very clever when it is uploaded onto a Unix box that hosts web pages. Windows Doesn't care much about case but the unix box certainly does.... Quote Link to comment

+jeremyp Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Problem no.1, the link to the web page has a space in it so when you post it to this site it gets mangled by the UBB code parser. This might work (replace the space by %20). On the whole, spaces in URLs are just too much trouble. I use a hyphen "-" usually. Problem no.2 the links on this page end in full stops which is what is breaking them. The easiest way to fix it is to open the html file on your PC in notepad and manually remove the full stops. i.e. any bit like this: needs to change to The images are there, so that will fix everything. BTW the first one looks like Chris of "Chris Norman Maria" fame. Another thing to be aware of is that the directory /file part of a URL is case sensitive (an unfortunate hangover from Unix file names). ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment

Fourhalls Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Try this URL which will take you straight to the page where the link is for the photo's http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robstewart/geocaching.htm Quote Link to comment
+Travers Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I would guess from the logs that No.10 and No.11 are The Relic Hunters and I wonder if No.4 is Walker Dan? No.5 must be James&Julie You can eliminate us, I definitely didn't take a pic...and The Northumbrian isn't there either. Quote Link to comment
+The Good Shepherds Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 quote:I wonder if No.4 is Walker Dan? We thought that - definitely somebody dressed for business rather than caching! Quote Link to comment
+The Northumbrian Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 The pics look fine Rob, I had a look at your site and saw the 7 caches you did on your own, You need a congrats for that also, the first two are quite a walk and where the caches are geographicly and the roads you need to take to get to them. well done , and no 4 looks like desperate Dan Nige Quote Link to comment
+Travers Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 So it is Walker Dan...doesn't look much like a pilot's uniform to me! Quote Link to comment
+GAZ Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi Rob, Pic No 10, left is my son Rob and his mate Andrew....Pic No 11, is Craig...one of the four Relic Hunters. GAZ ------------------------------------------------------------ I'm SURE I can get the car closer! Quote Link to comment
+Walker Dan Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Yes, the dodgy looking bloke at No. 4 is Walker Dan. I knew I shouldn't have taken the photo in the first place. I'm expecting the Northumbrian around with the Cow pie shortly. Quote Link to comment
