Hi Matthew,

Can you show the code you're using, please?

hi there the code:

<ul> <li> <img src="img/Desret.jpg" alt=""> </li> </ul> its not from what they ask you to download its one on my laptop, thanks for the help.

OK - that's a bit hard to help, then. However, have you checked the spelling of the file name?

make sure your own images are in the 'img' folder on treehouse workspaces (drag and drop into the dark square box underneath file list and then once it is in workspaces move it to the img folder. <img src="img/filename.jpg" alt="a picture">

they are i have checked spellings the lot, even tried to download img nick says you can use just wont let me do it. its not even letting me drag photos over to upload now? thanks for helping me.

Good idea, yes.

is it the right file extension -jpg/png are caps on or off in the right places .. You probably checked all that - is just the sort of mistake I normally make.

I know that was me trying spellings the lot, thanks again.

your welcome :)

Great work - glad that's fixed!

I went through a whole new course a week ago to QA test it prior to release. I kept reporting problems with it but, as is usual with me, it was user error - I'd not refreshed the page. Oops!

you know I did refresh many times, might just be this out of date laptop takes about 10 days to get going. and yeah it could just be me I was doing Java before but I am starting with some web dev them moving along.

Good luck with it all and if you get stuck, just shout in the forums. We're all here to help as best we can.

Hi All, I've just had the same issue; the video shows the name of the file as img/numbers-01.jpg but the downloaded files are Img/numbers-01.jpg the capital i appears to be causing the problem

Would this generate a 404? Thanks C

you could rename the file .

I've just realised I created the file! My fault.. Thanks C

im also experiencing this problem. it could be a really tiny mistake on my part but could use a bit of help.
