Hi, I have uploaded a few PNG pictures. Some are fine but others are recognised as generic text files and not images. Even after trying to reupload them, they still remain as text files... why is this happening?

Every .png image in your "images" directory is loading fine for me. Can you provide a link to the problem?

Oh, that's because I've taken away those that show up as text files. I've just uploaded the problematic ones... here's a screenie.

It's because the letters are big. They need to be small letters, like .png not .PNG

I guess that's not the reason. They only become small letters when the hosting server recognises them as image files. My images are saved in the same way. Besides, it does not make sense for such a wierd problem to occur.

Yes it does. It's just like index and Index only the lower case index will work as your homepage.

I get what you mean, I finally solved the problem by lower casing the ext. in windows explorer before uploading. I feel this is sort of a restriction in a way as my other web host does not require me to do so, but it's not too much of a hassle anyway, thanks for your help btw. =)
