    Hi Again. These aren't broken links. You have no broken links. Broken Link Checker Tool looks for html links written such:
    <a href="url">link text</a> and checks to see if the link is valid.

    What you have are missing images. These missing images seem to be part of HighSlide which is included if you have a small image on the site that when you mouse-over or click loads a larger image. Your site doesn't use HighSlide from what I can see. These images aren't within your https://cabinetmakerscustombuilt-inb...ndex_htm_files files folder so I don't know what program your using to find missing images that you're not using.

    By the way access to your index_htm_files folder shouldn't be available like yours is for security reasons

    EDIT: Yes, the call's for HighSlide images is on your video page. Why something is calling for these assests and they're not available on your site is probably down to the code you're using to invoke the youtube videos.

    Thank you Egg Bramhill for such an excellent and detailed reply!!!

    May I ask, have I posted something on this forum that I should not have for security reasons?

    No, not here (on this forum) it's that your asset folder of your website (which contains all your .jpg, .png, .css files etc), which Xara creates on your server named 'index_htm_files' should not be open for public viewing due to security issues.

    If you try to open mine on my webserver at https://www.parkeston.com/index_htm_files/ you get a 403 Forbidden notice but if you try yours at https://cabinetmakerscustombuilt-inb...dex_htm_files/ you can view it's content.

    Egg, listing the directory index itself is not a vulnerability and is not a security risk in itself. Instead, it could assist in locating and exploiting some other security vulnerability on the site. If you have no such vulnerabilities, then the index does not add any risk on its own.

    In your case, you would also have to block xr_files.txt being accessed and I have no guarantee Xara does not need this.

    Thanks, Acorn and Egg

    It sounds like I'm safe but I'm just a cabinet maker who built his own website and some of the talk you talk is like a foreign language to me sometimes so please excuse me if I ask you to rephrase another way.

    Anyway, Acorn seems to know that I am secure with what little I have.

    I'll keep picking at it concerning your suggestions and make it better.

    Thank you, group!!!

    Thanks for the clarification Acorn. I always had my index_htm_files folder opening as per Agains, and it often cam in useful but my ISP insisted that the file was unavailable in that manner and insisted it was changed, which they did for me. Therefore I have followed their advice. Thankyou for the clarification.
    I take it the xr_files.txt is a file updated bt Xara each time the site is published, thus knowing which files to keep and which to delete?
