Interesting situation here..

1. recently, i tried close my blog for awhile, so i created a index.htm file which a brief intro saying my site is down for awhile.... but when i deleted that .htm file...some ppl said it still appears

2. Some people have problems seeing the pictures in the post as well...i.e. the images saved in the b2 images folder

3.i did try to password protect my blog at one stage... and some ppl still say that is up, when it has been taken down alredi.

4. Links to some pictures redirects to a forbidden 403 error msg...umm think its 403....pretty sure....


Question i've been trying to solve this problem for a week!! its nothing to fo with cookies or temp internet files, tried deleting those.....funny thing is... it works fine on some people's copmuter

It's because you haven't given the correct image address in b2config.php
Code:
#$fileupload_realpath = '/home/your/site/b2/images';
$fileupload_realpath = '/home/example/public_html/images';

# enter the URL of that directory (it's used to generate the links to the pictures)
$fileupload_url = 'http://example.com/images';

Your images are shown as http://blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images/0406b7.jpg whereas they really are at http://angela.blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images/0406b7.jpg You've forgotten angela. Click on the links above to see the difference.

If you press Ctrl-F5 in IE that http://blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images/0406b7.jpg do you get an error message? I get a 404 not found message here.

Are you absolutely sure that the 2 paths needed in config.php agree? The problem may be that you are using a subdomain angela.blursotong.com rather than a folder blursotong.com/angela and this complication needs to be shown in the paths.

The thing is...... it worked before all this time....

but when i tried banning ips, password protected and uploading that index.htm file when everything seemed to be going wrong....

after i removed all those above...

the pics were giving me problems...

i can see it on my comp, but everyone else can't...maybe 1 or 2 who still can see... but the other 35 ppl can't.. if u go to my blog.u can actually see a poll on the left

If you look at the source of your index.php it says
Code:
<IMG alt="" src="http://blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images/0406b7.jpg" border=0>
but the image is not there because it should say:
Code:
<IMG alt="" src="http://angela.blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images/0406b7.jpg" border=0>

or perhaps the images are being uploaded to the wrong place. Either way the solution is to make sure b2config.php is correct. What does it say (you can put xxxx if you don't want to show the complete paths)?

If the fileupload path is wrong you will need to edit your blog entries to get the path correct since the code it told you to insert was wrong.

Code:
#$fileupload_realpath = '/home/blursoto/.panel/web/b2/images';
$fileupload_realpath = '/home/blursoto/.panel/web/b2/images';

# enter the URL of that directory (it's used to generate the links to the pictures)
$fileupload_url = 'http://angela.blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/images';


that's what is written on the b2config.php




OKOK I"VE GOT iMPROVEMENTS!!!

i edited 1 of my posts... i changed the file src and put the "angela" in... AND IT WORKS!>... BUT......
so when i uploaded the file... and the option to add code to posts..that means that part is wrong??? how do i ammend everything now? doesn't mean i have to edit every posts picture URL right???

The piece of code it gives you uses the variable $fileupload_url. If that is now correct in b2config.php then it will be correct in the code in the future.

Yes I'm afraid you will have to edit each post as I can't see an obvious place to move the images to to get the old posts to work. Something has changed on your system (not your blog) so the URL changed - it may be that your host did something.

Oh - your smilies aren't there. You need to edit b2config.php to correct
Code:
# the directory where your smilies are (no trailing slash)
$smilies_directory = 'http://angela.blursotong.com/ipw-web/b2/b2-img/smilies';
