This is a problem I've been having throughout my domain, and I'm wondering if I messed something up or didn't configure something properly.

I have several pages (either PHP or HTML) that I want to include images in. I use the default img src tag, quotes and all... and I've made sure the images are uploaded to the correct location that the pages point to.

Yet for some reason, images don't show up. I've found that setting the images I want to appear in a table, and using CSS to define a table background with no repeat often works... but why should I have go through all that coding hassle to get an image to appear?

An example of this is my subdomain: lucky.seventh-star.net. When you go there, the image doesn't show up. But if you go to seventh-star.net/lucky, it does. What's going on here?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

A link would be helpful...
And I know this might sound stupid, but you don't have hotlink protection enabled do you? (I know I've forgotten to add my own domain to my allowed referrers a few times.)

clicky for screenshot I can see images on there...

I did have Hotlinking protection enabled; forgot about that. Is there a way to ensure that any folder or subdomain within my domain can link to images or files? I mean, can I enter something like http://*.seventh-star.net and have ANY domain able to access images, anywhere in the domain? Same goes for http://www... or http://seventh-star.net/* where * can be any folder or name.

I don't know why using CSS circumvents the hotlinking, though.

Thanks for that suggestion!

I don't know about the wildcard stuff, a more htaccess savvy person can tell you that. I can say, if you enter a URL, it takes everything below it, so you don't need to worry about folders.

As for the CSS thing, it probably didn't, the image was probably in your cache.
