Why did I get a Red X in my post?

 

When one of your images doesn't embed, it is replaced by a red X.  We call this "the dreaded red X" around here.  Just smile and know you are in good company.  Even the masters have a red X or two to their credit.

Check your path line for the image in the script.  Look for typing errors.  Any error will cause the image not to embed.  An extra space, a missing underscore, a spelling error... all will cause the red X.  The path must be absolutely accurate for the image to embed.

Path Copy (freeware located in the download section) will eliminate path errors.

With this utility, you simply locate the file in the Windows Explorer, right click and copy the long path to your clipboard then paste it into your script.
