Poolzone  a mere cog in a revolution

The problem seems to have occurred ever since I moved to a new computer and somehow uploaded to a new file called http://familytrees.genopro.com/boydgray26/Boyd/ whereas the old one, now sadly deleted, was called http://familytrees.genopro.com/boydgray26/GrayGordon/default.htm - what did I do differently when starting the report generator? 

1) open Table Layout -> Pictures,
2) click on one of the 1st row cell, say the Relative Path,
3) click this icon:

4) keep pressing on the 'Down Arrow' key, not too fast, to the end of the list and watch if some Picts do not show up. The Picts not showing up will have to be re-linked with the Browse button of the Pict Prop panel.

The 'Relative Path' column is messy and inconsistant. For info, these Picts have been added at different point in time. Why the Rel Path is shown differently?
I'm no expert but I recommend:
1) make sure all your Picts are all grouped under the same Directory.
2) In order to have the same 'Relative Path' (except of course the Pict name) shown for all Picts, you'll have to re-link the 'Odd' Picts, i.e. using the 'Browse Pict' button on the Pict panel. If not mistaken, the photos not properly linked (for whatever reason) will not show in the Pict Prop panel even if a name is present in the 'Pict Location' field and/or even if these Picts were showing OK at a certain time. These ones, especially, should be re-linked.
On Table Layout(TL) -> Pict, you can easily open each Pict panel in double-clicking the 'Path' cell of each Pict.
3) It's time consuming but at the end, you should end up with a clean consistant list:

4) Make sure the Report Options Custom tag 'Exclude this picture?' is not = "Y".

5)The last recommendation is to reduce your Picts to a max. of 250pix x 250pix. It will significantly reduce the Pict loading/display time on your web site! The 250x250 dimension is actually the one shown in config.xml param <PictureSizeLarge>.
Having done that, keep your fingers crossed and republish your report, first to your HD for checkup then to your web site.
Alternatively, you may try to use the option Tools->RelinkPict (or right-click on the TL->Pict 'Relative Path' header) if applicable to your case.
I hope you'll make it.
Genopro or Ron: Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A red box indicates a missing, but referenced image. It looks to me as if the process of copying the pictures to the web site, which happens right at the end of the report generation,  did not complete satisfactorily. Have you tried republishing your report?

A similar bug has been posted at File->Save option doesn't update Pictures Properties.  I wonder your problem and this bug are related.  I took a note and will investigate the issue this week.
