When naming files, don't use capital letters or symbols, or spaces.

chase · 05-06-2006, 07:07 PM

lol, no doubt, I learned that lesson that hard way!

DesignWise · 05-06-2006, 07:07 PM

Miguel T · 05-06-2006, 08:16 PM

CyberHustler · 05-06-2006, 08:20 PM

babymaker · 05-06-2006, 08:22 PM

Shit, not only that but i have sat here for hours getting pissed wondering why the fucking pic doesn't display and i check properties and the server a million times and then i see it 'Somepic.jpg' or 'somepic.Jpg' and it was supossed to be 'somepic.jpg' :D and then scream and punch a wall

hmmmn.. that make sense... do you guys think it dependes on your server OS? but it's better safe than sorry...

martinsc · 05-06-2006, 11:43 PM

so true...

CaptainWolfy · 05-07-2006, 02:53 AM

blah who didn't know that

Sinstar · 05-07-2006, 03:59 AM

djroof · 05-07-2006, 04:57 AM

thanks for that tip!

More Booze · 05-07-2006, 05:55 AM

Another tip: skip adult and get into mainstream.

Greg MissionD · 05-07-2006, 06:29 AM

I totally agree, makes it harder using tab to auto complete in an ssh session to get around the server too.

qft. i'd say it's wayyyyy easier to make $$$ in mainstream than adult if you have a good unique idea that's not insanely saturated.

eMonk · 05-07-2006, 06:36 AM

good tip for the noobs. keep them coming.

Fuck YEAH I hate it when that happens... weird thing is it's a sometime thing. Somepic.jpg will load regardless of the cap - I did a site install the other day and when I replaced the variable with the site name SomeSite.com I found it did that to all the links in the site, not just the body/text but the linking codes... now will that fuck me up? I left it 'cause it worked fine in IE and FF so WTF!?

MandyBlake · 05-07-2006, 09:14 AM

yeah i did that once before...it was hell lol

fritz · 05-07-2006, 09:20 AM

I have never seen a browser that would not display it if you input the proper caps.

If it is caps on the server, just use caps on the browser has been my experience

here's another tip: \ is not the same as /.

StuartD · 05-07-2006, 09:40 AM

Not even some "designers" know the differences... despite their designs not working on account of them:
