Title: Links not working.
Post by: omeyas on April 03, 2005, 11:35:48 am
A novice at this, so please bear with me! ??? I have trouble gettings links to work, it's as if they are out of sequence. I'm appearing in Google without any problem, the problem is the link given directs people to the wrong photograph. Any kind soul any ideas?
Many thanks.

If Google is caching most viewed, latest uploads, random images, etc, then it's working correctly - those are meta albums and they change all the time.  They are based on position, not picture id.  Without an example link I can't give you any more information.

This link from Google, for example, should be to the interior of a church, but it ends up as a skylark!  :)
I think you're correct about the latest uploads etc.  I have gotten rid of latest uploads, will I still have a problem? Will it happen in the main gallery.  If it is linked to a set position, and I upload more recent shots and move it along, will it also happen then?

Thanks

All that link says is that you wish to see the 5th most recently uploaded file. That is going to change as you add/remove files. lastup is still available on your site by the 'Last uploads' link. Remember that google is not 'live' - you see sites in google as they were when they were crawled. If you click 'cached' then you will see the correct picture.

Thanks!  As a novice (not in years!) that is attempting to embrace this technology, I'm finding it hard going!
