5,337 PointsProblems with uploading images - broken image link!
I suppose many people were also stuck on this issue. So I haven't even gotten to the coding part yet but I can't seem to upload any of the images onto my workspace.
I'm sure I followed every possible instruction and answer I found on the forum.
Downloaded files and unzipped them. Even dragged them onto my desktop just in case.
I dragged the files into the darker area.
Images are not showing up. It's showing a broken image icon.
Help me please?

Be careful to drag the files into the bottom of the darker area, but don't worry about the image not showing in workspaces, ive just tested an image and once coded into the site correctly it showed on the browser fine.
Hope This Helps

2,617 PointsCynthia Wong -- what browser are you using? The drag-n-drop feature works only in Google Chrome right now. However, you some other options if you aren;t using Chrome.
- You can right click in the file area and select the upload file option.
- You can also select File > Upload File in the menu area.
I did just test the file preview feature in Workspaces and it looks like there is a bug (which may be why you are seeing the broken image icon). This will only affect previewing the image inside a Workspace. The images are still useable in your code! Happy learning.

5,337 PointsHi everyone,
The problem seemed to have been resolved. At first it showed as broken links but once I completed my HTML codes, they showed up fine on the preview.
Thank yoU!

589 PointsHaving the same issue. I've tested random images that weren't included in the .zip file as well, and although they preview fine in Finder, when uploaded, the image link is broken. They can't be viewed within workspaces or in the coded page itself. Any ideas?
