    Chill, you've only given it 7 minutes.

    Anyway. Are your file upload settings correct?

    There's no right answer, it can vary for different configs, the default is shown in the text to the right of the option in admin page.

    Look in your folders, possibly above your WordPress directory..

    This happens on my local install, i have to use /www/wp-content/uploads/ (i'm not suggesting you use this path for yours - it's just for illustration)

    If you don't find one in a parent folder, try adding the last dash on (if it's not on your upload path already)..

    There's nothing wrong with your uploads path, it works..

    The problem are these lines..

    <a href="" rel="lightbox" title=""><img src="" alt="" height="106" width="106"></a><br />

    Pointing at an image with no url.. (i should of checked the page before the first reply really .. *sigh*, lol)..

    ok, So what do I need to do?

    Find out where you'ved added that code, or what's adding it, then either fix it or remove.

    I do appreciate all your help. I know I am probably getting on your nerves and I do apologize.

    But where would I start to look for the info that you say is incorrect?

    Also, once I found it, what must I do or put in place ?

    There's a lightbox refence in the code i mentioned above, so it's proberly related to a lightbox plugin..

    It could be in the plugin or something related to that plugin placed into the theme..

    Since the problem element is in your sidebar, i'd guess it's either in the sidebar file or in some widget code... that's as good a guess i can make, so hope it helps...

    And don't worry about my nerves, if you bothered me, i'd not bother replying... ;)

    Does the uploads folder have the correct permissions?

    NOTE: If you bump the thread again, consider this my last reply.

    According to your site the folder doesn't exist.
    southern-autosport.com/wp-content/uploads/

    Where as wp-content is read just fine.
    southern-autosport.com/wp-content/
    (blank page, but it's being read no problem)

    http://oscar-elochim.co.uk/wp-content/themes/Infinity-theme/theme/style.css

    ...shows forbidden still.

    Are you sure all of those permissions are set correctly?

    Are your other folder permissions correct..

    755 for folders, 644 for files..

    There's clearly some permission issues going on..

    Your style.css returns a forbidden message, and the uploads folder returns a not found message, which indicates they could be set with incorrect permissions.

    Other then that, i'm out of ideas..
