The path to the image source has changed and thats why BV arn't showing them.

You can either

1) Try and re-establish the path. If you look at the image properties file name. Looks something like this C:\Users\My Name\Documents\BlueVoda\Images\image1.jpg. So 'image1.jpg' is in my 'Images' folder which is in my 'Bluevoda' folder, which is in my 'Documents' folder and so on and so on. So get this right and everything should reappear.

2) Go through your pages, double click the 'missing' images and reinsert them from their new location.

3) Do nothing and work around them. You've already published these images haven't you, so they aint gonna disappear off your website.

Just so you know my rugby site in my signature has about 200 pages and I had to change my PC and there was no way I was gonna 2) couldn't be bothered to do 1) so I did 3) and works absolutely fine.

All the best
