    Re: Possessed background

    I guess you mean the thing that look kinda like a ceiling fan, at the bottom. That's made of two images, bv01005.gif and bv01006.gif which I think are extreme enlargements of a period or something. You may have a stray period in a script or html window (I'm no expert on that). You say they aren't on your other pages, but they are on the one or two I opened.

    Also, the links to your other pages don't work because you have backslashes (\) in the ULRs. Replace all backslashes with foreslashes.

      not sure what you mean about a stray period, and yes it is on all pages.

      However, there are no backslashes that I can see. point out what you mean please.

        Hi,

        I think it is the black color background from the top which is not
        covering tthe entire shape. Did you use a shape tool and chose black as the background?

        Try removing the black shape completely and redoing it back again.

          I downloaded the .gif files and viewed them on my drawing program. They are tiny dots (both the same) that when hugely magnified are made of a few black pixels, so they look like several black squares in a rounded arrangement. The images have been extremely enlarged and stretched side to side on your page to form the "fan" effect.

          The backslashes are in your links--all of them, I think. Here is an example:

          Open your links on all the pages and replace those with foreslashes and your links will work fine.

              Now that is strange indeed! I use FF3, which not only reports the page cannot be found, it shows the links with the backslashes, which also are that way when I actually go in to examine the link. But on IE they are all fine!

              Never heard of that one before. I wonder if another FF user can comment?

              Sorry about the confusion.

                No problem, just wish I could figure out why my pages have that background issue. I could see it doing one, but all of them. Something is a miss here.

                  You've got five shapes going down the pages: Black, grey, blue/grey and then the two tweaked ones. The three good ones are bv01002.gif-bv01004.gif. The bad ones are the 5th and 6th gifs. I assume you made all of these with the shape tool in BV? The last two are corrupt somehow, I'd try simply deleting them and replacing with new shapes.

                    Re: Possessed background

                    How did they become corrupt as you say. Especially on all pages. This makes no sense and there has to be a better answer than this. Especially due to the fact that my pages were not all created on the same day or published on the same day for that matter.

                      I'm quite sure there are better answers to everything--try mine or don't, that's up to you.

                      I'm thinking bv01005 and 6 are corrupt. They appear on each of your pages because you created copies of your original page or you used a template. When someone views your page--any of them--the server calls up all the images, including bv01005 and 6, which are corrupt. Delete them from the server or fix them.

                      Good luck...

                        Re: Possessed background

                        The reason why your answer makes no sense, is because my template has no problem. And again, the pages all are affected and were done at different times with different items and published differently.

                        So your cut it and start over approach is a way of concealing the problem not solving it. There is another issue and it is a BV issue. So, there needs to be an answer for this problem from BV.

                          Re: Possessed background

                          This is a "mistery" happening also to many users with the menu buttons images.
                          Possible (almost sure) Explanation:

                          You have used some shapes to create the background. Then, in your home page, you have pasted the same shape twice, used once for the bottom background and once as bullet.

                          This way, the two images have the same name (bv01005.gif and bv01006.gif) . This way, the one created/published last (the circle bullets) will appear in all your pages instead of the two background shapes.

                          Solution: delete and recreate the two circle bullets before "Sales" and "Lease" in your index page.
                          Publish it again, and the issue should be solved in ALL your pages.
