Okay.....thanks to all for your help and suggestions. I am VERY confused now tho. After hearing that Susan had gotten the images to show up on Netscape and IE, I tried it out. I can see them using either one. But evidently, some of you cannot. Looking at the page in my AOL browser, however, which is what I used first to look at the page cuz it's my ISP, I still cannot see them. My code looks okay to me for directing the browser to the right place to get the images, but for some reason, it isn't working consistently in IE, Netscape, or at all on AOL. grrrrr Is there somewhere I can contact a Rootsweb admin to help me out with this? I don't think it's just an AOL problem since not everyone can get the pics with IE or Netscape. Any ideas? Sue http://www.rootsweb.com/~vtrutlan/index.html/

I didn't get your graphics in Netscape or IE. Are you sure you uploaded the pictures to the server?

Help! I do NOT understand at all what happened to my pages I uploaded. All of the images initially showed up just fine, but now all I am getting is the crummy little boxes with the x in them. What happened? In my source code, I have all my graphic images linked by "images/name of file" as you can see if you look at the code. I use Dreamweaver and at some point in time, my graphics started to be linked as "../images/name of file" I don't know why it did this, but now not ONE of my graphics shows up. Organizationally, I have all of my pages on the same level as my images folder. Any help you could give me would be appreciated so I can get this finished! Thanks.

I live in Columbus, OH I have a cable connection with roadRunner and have NOT been able to upload more than 60 seconds and then sit and spin. another friend of mine here in Columbus uses AOL and a phone line has not been able to access Ancestry.com needless to say an UNHAPPY paying member.. <grin> I run the Wyandot county lists and have not been able to upload a full page at one connect. I close FTP and resend FOUR time and finally get one all there. What a pain!!!! God Bless America!

I received an answer just minutes ago from my ISP. They said there are backbones in trouble and in repair now. At this moment there is massive system abuse overseas (meaning out of USA) right now (terrorist hacking attack?) along with extra heavy number of spams flooding the backbone right now. W. David Samuelsen, listowner

you're not alone. Something happened to the backbone connecting to Rootsweb/Ancestry I'm in Salt Lake City and the tracert showed something wrong at the connection between backone 64.0.0.24 and Rootsweb/Ancestry.com And I noticed several subscribers are reporting they couldn't post at all to one of my mailing lists.

I had some difficulty yesterday, but I've not tried to access the site today. I think it would be a good idea for Rootsweb to double check that their site is not experiencing difficulty and let everyone know if they are or are not. It would be good for business on their side and helpful for all the users.

FOR MORE INFO: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hatchlib.htm "Genealogy Without Documentation is Mythology" This is now the 4th day of my problems accessing a wide variety of RW sites, including my inability to upload any of my files...this process is an automatic timeout. I now also have 12 people on my list experiencing anywhere from irritating to very serious problems, including one who sent me the TraceRoute (which I don't know how to read :-( This has been described as "not an RW problem", but I think they must take it seriously if it affects user ability to access sites and site admins from uploading additions/changes. Is anyone else experiencing these problems or can fill me in on what is going on from RW's viewpoint? Thanks, Nel I cannot even get into the RW homepage to contact Sysadmin.

Strange things: When I tried to connect to John Fuller's page it did not work, but when I went to his old url at AOL it forwarded me right in to the Rootsweb Url. I was using a search engine to locate him. RootsWeb-Help-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: -- L. L. Scott, IBSSG - NW Florida L. L.

Alter.net is alternative name for uunet if I remembered right. Backbone network. Used to be connected to it through my former ISP. The main line of alter.net pass from Washington DC via Chicago and Salt Lake City to San Jose CA. The first backbone line.

This seems to be a problem out on the internet - somewhere between our ISPs and RootsWeb. I am having major problems staying connected while other staff is not having any problem at all.
