Hello,

I have a issue with my site and i just cant figure it out.
when I search google for my site it has an extra slash at the end of the url, (www.mysite.com/about/) when i click the link the page loads but not the images, if i remove the slash everything loads perfectly.

Why would that be happing and how would I fix it. very frustrating wacko.gif wacko.gif

Thanks for you help.

Well, the FAQ entries explain how relative URLs work, and what the slash on the end of the url means.

It sounds like the server is sending the same document for www.example.com/about and for www.example.com/about/

That's going to cause problems if you use relative URLs. The solution is to fix the server to stop doing that. One way would be to have the one you don't want redirect to the one you do want.

One workaround is to stop using relative URLs that are affected by the difference.
