Designer Pro 6 & Web Designer 6 software bug.

[Jason]

Should you use the & symbol in the link and or page filename ie year5&6 then photos will not expand to full size after it is exported and saved. All works fine up to the point of saving the file but once saved the photos will not enlarge at all..This shows up on the preview page as well. The cursor just spins around.

Welcome to TalkGraphics Jason

Reminds me of the old joke:

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I walk like this...

Doc: So, don't walk like that.

The point is, do not use an ampersand in your file names. Also do not use a period except to separate the file name from the extension.

One member recently discovered that he could not use an ampersand in a link to a web gallery even though the gallery. It was suggested he use the code for an ampersand instead in the URL and it worked.

But in your case, you can name the photo years-5-and-6.jpg and everything should be OK.

The problem was it affected approx 16 pages of the website which all had photos on them...Over 100 so renaming each was going to take a heap of time.
Thanks for the comments

Sorry to say, but lesson learned.

I hate it when things like this happen. But you can rest assured that it will not happen again.
