Hi. I was quite happily ftping new photoshopped .png icons of the same name and size across to the images folder and they were nicely displaying in the forum. However, a few days later when ftping, no new images would display at all, it was blank space.

If I downloaded a working existing icon and reuploaded the exact same icon with no changes at all, it still doesn't display. After all my hard work, I had to uninstall the entire forum in an effort to find the problem. Reinstalled several times and re-cached with no luck.

When using Firebug, it tells me the background image of the top icons has the correct name of eg. ib_forumhome.png but when I firebug the dynamic html it is showing ib_spacer.gif for the top icons (I think this is probably normal). When firebugging the icon beside a group eg. forum_unmoderated.png  I can't even get Firebug to find the new image of the same name in the css and it simply displays the title 'public forum' instead of the icon.

If I use photoshop to look at a downloaded icon which won't display photoshop tells me that it can't parse it.

The only change I think I have made in between it working and not working is that my webhost removed one of my domain names attached to the install and reassigned it to another dnn install (but that wasn't the portal I was working in). I don't remember upgrading the forum, I believe I have always been using the latest 4 forum. I am using DNN 4.08.04.

I don't really know what 'parse' means and I have no idea how to alter anything except images and the css.

Please help as now my forum is completely unworkable.  Jessica

Okay, I deserve to be smacked across the face with a large fish.

When you are having problems ftping images to DNN, it might pay to read the FTP's help section (in my case that of FireFTP) where one might find the answer in 1.2 seconds.

File transfer was set to ASCII instead of Auto.

Ahem, now where's that fish....
