Tip for new webmasters!
 

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





:winkwink:

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

hmmmn... why? :)

Never done it that way ;)

no idea.


ever tried to upload a pic that you let something rename your pic

PIC.JPG

sometimes the browsers wont display capped extensions

yeah, that shit happend to me becuase i have this fucked up habit of capitalizing the first letter of every word

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 :)

I have noticed that also.

lol yeah I learned that the hard way...mis-type a directory and fucked up a submission or two...

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

so true...

blah who didn't know that

Great tip :P

thanks for that tip!

Another tip: skip adult and get into mainstream.

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.

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!?

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

damn that explains lots i fukin knew i didnt know shit from grass but can i use proper grammar n stuff now question mark

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

thats true!

how about this?

pic-001.jpg? - is a symbol right?

i never knew :) thanks! :1orglaugh

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

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