Site crashes, can't view images in preview.

I've been having great success with Treehouse until today. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks in Chrome and today it crashed several times for no apparent reason with the message to "Kill it" or "Reload". Kill was the only option that worked.

Also, I have not been able to see the images in preview. I have read all pertaining questions posted about this issue and tried all recommended solutions to no avail. I only get the small image icon on the preview page. It will link and open the image fine in a new window, just not on the main page.

As a solution to all of these I did try closing, relaunching Chrome and Workspaces, rebooting my computer, relaunching everything. I tried switching browsers to Safari- no luck.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

So do you mean you get a page that loads but then gets blank?

I'm not sure which part of my question you are referring to. All pages load. I can't see images when I preview from Workspace, but I can see everything else.

Thanks

So ALL of your images aren't appearing on you browser? Just the images? the images you are trying to pull? Id ud go to facebook, or treehouse, can you see images? like the avatar.

I downloaded the images from the tutorial and successfully uploaded them into my workspace, entered them into my index.html doc and when I try to preview them, I get everything but the images. The hyperlinks work and the image will open in a new window, but it does not preview on the main page. Sorry if I'm not making sense

Well, you copy and past the code : p and tell me what folders you have so e.g. on the fron line you can see images , inside them img.jpg , avatar.png etc.. assets folder -> css, php , js, inside css -> main.css etc.. i believe you have a wrong path to it.

My only folder is one I created called img. I uploaded all tutorial images into the img folder.

Ok- after many, many failed attempts, it now seems to be working. I had to delete half my code and start again. Still don't know if Workspace is buggy, or I just had it written incorrectly.

Thanks for your help!!
