Windows Explorer issues?!

[dermit]

Okay, so up to this point I've use Chrome browser 100% to get my site up, however today someone that was using IE went and said some of the images are just being shown as a red X. I told them to refresh but it remained. Concerned I opened IE and sure enough some of mine were doing it also. I am sure hoping this is just some dumb little thing to correct this, I dont know why some work just fine and others are just the X. Can anyone enlighten me?

Here is the site which isnt live yet.

I am looking at the site in IE 8, and it seems fine, or is the error happening on a specific page?

what version of IE are you using to see the problem


also don't forget to change you sites title as it still says

ZenCart: the art of ecommerce

Thank you for the quick reply, and the title suggestion. I forgot about that.

The page where I was noticing it the most was under Photography, can you please look there? Thanks.

EDIT: IE8 is what I'm using. The Photography section is one I just added stuff to tonight, I dont think I did anything differently...

Can anyone else confirm if they see this problem? Or what may be causing it? Thanks a bunch.

I can confirm that I see this problem. I did some searches and it seems that this problem is affecting other users as well. I followed some suggestions posted on the Microsoft site and others to try and resolve the issue. One of the suggestions said to back out IE8. I did that and the problem was still there in IE7. A semi-clean install of IE8 this morning and the problem is still there. So far I have no idea what the problem is.

Yes I also see the Photography images in firefox but NOT in IE8.

You have some list and table errors in the page and the product_info page: in the absence of other ideas, who's to say IE is not getting upset with those? (Identify the faults with FF+HTML validator add-on)

File sizes around 600k for thumbnails are way out of line, and whether they have anything to do with the problem or not, need to be optimized. You can make small, medium and large versions of them for display, or if you want this automated, install Image Handler 2.
Thumbnails should not be larger than 5-20k depending on the situation.

I see that you have the different files for small/medium/large, but you have not optimized any of them for the actual display size. An image displaying at 490x356px should not need 768k, but more like 50-100k for high quality.
