Troubleshooting

Why can't I see images with fancy urls installed?

Scenario:
"I've just activated fancy urls on my blog but now I can't see the images."

Solution:
This is due to your browser thinking components like 'item', 'category' and such in the fancy urls are directories on the server so it looks in a directory which does not exist for the image file. Just change all the relative urls of your images to be /skins/myskin/image.png. When the url of the image starts with a slash the browser knows the url starts at the root of your domainname. If it starts with ./ it will look in the current directory (which will by example be 'item' due to the fancyurls).
