Re: Re: die! die! directory!

ok, I changed all the paths to include: ( http://www.host.com/directory/sub-directory ) before the /maps2/map1.jpg call. It still falls apart, but... if I shorten the path I can get to the image. I am beginning to think there is a weakness in the file structure on my site. Anyone else see anything like this?
