Hi,

Nice work on the latest edition BTW.

I have an issue with the rss feeds.

I am bringing the forum feeds into my web pages and it performs well. However the image pathes are incorrect and as a result the images do not show.

My forum path is like

http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/default.asp - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/default.asp

The feeds with images show the image path like below

http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/uploads/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/uploads/1234/image.jpg

http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/Forums/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/ForumImages/1234/image.jpg

as a result, the image fails to show in the rss feed - it should be

http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/uploads/1234/.jpg - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum/uploads/1234/image.jpg

In forum general settings set up my path to the forum is

http://www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum - www.nameofsite.co.uk/containingfolder/forum

I tried to use the same address to my site home page in gen settings aswell but no difference.

Is there somewhere in the files i can change to create the correct file name?

It should be noted: I am bringing the feeds into my web site via a asp.net user control. As i say the feed text is there and the links take me to the forum and the correct post - its just an image issue.

Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Many thanks

JIM

The only way to fix this would be to parse the feed and update the URL for the images to the new URL from your new location.
