    New post causing X's and image errors

    Whenever i make a new post sometimes all of my buttons and images show red x's and text instead of the image.

    There is no certain time it does this or any kind of pattern. It just randomly does it. But when i leave the page and go back and visit the post the images work again...

    Anyone experience this problem and have an easy fix for it?

    In order to figure out what is going on, you would need to use something like firebug to look and see where the post is looking for the images.

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

      Ok i was able to find out whats going on but i dont know why its happening

      When i make a new posts all of my images that are in the images folder are linking like this

      Code:
      [URL]http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/images/blackhead/buttons/edit.gif[/URL]
      when they should be linking to this

      Code:
      [URL]http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/forum/images/blackhead/buttons/edit.gif[/URL]
      This only happens when a new post is made

        You may want to try adding something like this to the headinclude:
        HTML Code:
        <base href="http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/forum/" />
        See if that helps?

            Sorry, I had https in there, it should just be:

            HTML Code:
            <base href="http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/forum/" />

                  vB4 puts it near the top of the headinclude template:

                  <base href="http://www.virtualsportsdaily.com/forum/" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
