2 signatures - one doesn't dispay image

I have html signature files for two email accounts, both with an image (hosted on the web) in them. Until today, both images displayed. Now, one image does not display, even immediately when creating the new email.

- The code for the images in the html files looks the same to me, except (of course) for the different "src" path to the different images.

- Using the code for the images in the html files, both images display in a browser.

- Here is the image code from the two html signature files. The first one works, the second one doesn't.

Chosen solution

I've sent an email to you which has a signature html file attached.

Please report back if you received email and can see the image in the signature.

In my prior post, the images are displaying instead of the code for the images. Note that the image in the second one does not appear in an email created with Thunderbird.

Here's another try to get the code to appear. I'll put an "X" after "img".

Wow, your html file works like a charm. Thanks so much. Still don't know why mine didn't work, but right now who cares :-)

I checked the source code of the received email from you and it did not seem to recognise that the gif image was an image and so it was using the wrong 'Content Type' and so could not display.

When I first tried to 'Insert' > 'Image' using the supplied info at link, there was no 'preview image' in the small box, so I checked the Image Data URL, using it to get the 'image preview' to work, so I knew it should work.

I then copy pasted the http for image and then used backspace to remove the last 6 bits of info and then retyped them making sure no hidden blank spaces etc. Suddenly the 'Preview image' appeared and I was able to get it to appear as it should. Although it now looked exactly the same, clearly something was previously being misread as if the dot gif part was not being recognised.

So in the end it is all ok. All the best :)
