Okay I do have one question…if the code was correct as this:

<img src=”https://www.whatever.com/smilie.gif&#8221; />

Why was I still getting broken images and then they would be fixed after I took the slash out?

Could it be a browser issue?

I’m reading your link Moshu–and laughing…I am a self admitted sloppy html writer. That’s so wrong isn’t it? I guess I’ll have to clean up my act and learn to do better. I have a feeling I have found only a temporary fix here!

Blessings!

oops double post…I apologize!

Thanks Cold Forged, the thing that was happening though is that no matter what, even with the quotes, the images would appear broken, and would only appear normally when the slash was removed. I hope that makes sense. Turning off the XHTML validator seems to have fixed the problem (though not with the page cannot be displayed error, but I really think they are one and the same).

Could you give me a sample of the completely proper and complete tags for an image in my blog? Maybe I can learn *giggle* lol

Well, I am still getting the error when I try to save the page:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

However, the changes are taking and so far no added slashes! I think you might have fixed it for me alphaoide!! Thanks!!!!

Well, actually I mean I would originally have this in my blog:

<img src=https://www.whatever.com/image.gif>

And then when I would go to edit that it would be changed to this:

<img src=https://www.whatever.com/image.gif /> which would show a broken image on my entry.

Then if I just tried to erase the extra slash, it would take me to a page not found error page and not change the text. The only way I can get the text to actually change is to erase the slash and put quotes (and yes I know that’s proper html…but I was lazy typing lol) SO…However, IF I go back to edit the post after this then the entry looks like this:

<img src=”https://www.whatever.com/image.gif&#8221; /> So the problem just happens over and over again. Very frustrating lol

It happens even if the quotes are there.

I will try clicking off your suggestion alphaoide and report back on what happens! Thanks for the suggestion!

Blessings!

I just moved from greymatter to wp and had a time of it too lol but you have to upload those files from your harddrive to your current host. Then do the transfer. The info will be changed to your ROOT path, not the http path so if you are not sure what this is, just send your host a note asking. It took a few tries but I was able to seamlessly move mine, so I believe you should be able to as well. The key is getting those files up onto your hosting, I do not believe you can pull them from your harddrive. (again, I could be wrong)

Once you’ve pulled them you can delete the files and folders that you uploaded so they don’t take up additional space.

PS looks to me like one of these will work for you:

/home/.mumford/lizmarie/***www***/cgi/gm.cgi/

*the www is usually after your “login/username” info, sometimes it is called public_html, you’d change this to the right file without the stars =o)

and

/home/.mumford/lizmarie/***www***/archives/

Oh and I have a fresh install of 1.5, the plugins I am currently using are:

Weather Icon
Bad Behavior
Get Recent Comments
Markdown
Referrer Bouncer
Spam Karma
& Verse of the Day

It did it before I installed all of the newer ones though.

And finally, the url to my site is https://www.stillbecoming.us

If it would be helpful to have more info please let me know. I appreciate your help!
