General Problems: Pictures not showing?

Some of my pictures aren't showing up on my site.

[POSSIBILITY ONE]
Please keep in mind that all files are case sensitive: Picture.gif is different from PICTURE.gif and is different from picture.GIF. If you are uploading your site from a Windows based machine, sometimes case sensitivity is disrupted. Please check the exact case of your image files. Note:  images cannot contain blank spaces within the file name.

[POSSIBILITY TWO]
When it comes to uploading a file via FTP there are two modes:
bulletASCII (text ) -- used to upload HTML files and scripts
bulletBINARY -- used to upload images.


If your images don't show, it's possible that they were uploaded using ASCII instead of BINARY mode. If that is the case, simply re-upload the images in BINARY mode and they should show.

[POSSIBILITY THREE]
It is possible that you are incorrectly linking to your images. It is very common to design a Web site and give your images an absolute path of your hard drive (C:\My Site\picture.gif). If that is the case, you will simply need to update your links.
