Servers are not usually case sesitive when it comes to URL's infactthis is the first time I've seen a server that uses case sesitive URL's, sousually it won't matter.

You'll just have to work around it, by linking to a different image or changing the name.

Does this mean that anyone with a name like conner if they use it in a link willnot work of is it just capitalls CONNER ?

Many thanks

I have someone posting a link on our site which requires capital letters in the link for it to work.

For some reason the forum changes this JOCONNELL100 to JOConNELL100 and prevents the link from working

See here

Any ideas ?

Many thanks
