I have just upgraded to Pixelpost 1.7 and I everything seemed fine but I cannot see the images! I can see them on my browse page but not the main/home page.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

My guess is you are using Internet Explorer, correct? I can see your image on the main page of your blog just fine in Firefox. There is a known issue with IE not displaying an image if no width or height is specified. In looking at your source code, the width and height are not showing up:

<img src="images/20080906110855_sea stallion .jpg" alt="Viking ship ends two year voyage " title="Viking ship ends two year voyage " width="" height="" id="photo" />

Open image_template.html in your theme in a plain text editor, and look for the following code:

<img src="images/<IMAGE_NAME>" alt="<IMAGE_TITLE>" title="<IMAGE_TITLE>" width="<IMAGE_WIDTH>" height="<IMAGE_HEIGHT>" id="photo" />

Make sure that the <IMAGE_WIDTH> and <IMAGE_HEIGHT> tags are there. If not, add them and upload that template file to your server.

Then log into your PP admin section, go to Options and check your image paths - they should be as follows:

../images/
../thumbnails/

If they're not, then fix that issue and save.

Now check your blog in IE again - the image should be there now.

Hope this helps! :)

I have a similiar issue, however I am using firefox and can;t see any images.

The width and height on my source seems fine.

<a href="index.php?showimage=1">
<img src="images/20080912014741_1208662728_transitions-4.jpg" alt="photo1" title="photo1" width="300" height="300" id="photo" />
</a>

Did you also do this part?

Then log into your PP admin section, go to Options and check your image paths - they should be as follows:

../images/
../thumbnails/

If they're not, then fix that issue and save.

Yes, The options pages is referencing the folders as

../images/
../thumbnails

Just deleted everything and reuploaded.
Seems to work now.

I just checked the link you provided and it is resolving to http://www.hostmysite101.com/, not your photoblog. Wasn't sure if you were aware of this or not, so figured I would let you know.

BTW, the setting you had for the thumbnails was missing the trailing slash at the end - it should be ../thumbnails/, not ../thumbnails
