BS: Tell me what you see on my site pls

I have a weird effect on a page of my "Stonehous in Picture 2017" website.

basically the page on dormer windows

on my PC it shows the images as intended
on-line there seems to be a light fixture instead of one image
looking at the HTML on-line it is correct, asking for dormer23.jpg. TAGged Gloucester Rd.
I have deleted dormer23.jpg from the website and it still shows a street light.
deleted Firefox history, even used IE which deletes history on closure - same.
Unfortunately I can't find the image locally so I can't delete it from the site easily. There are 2000 images most on that subset/folder!
This has flummoxed me. Do I blame BT CDN yet again?

What can others see?

All I see are Dormers, except for the one labelled 'Gloucester Road' which appears to show a security (or bulkhead) light.

Cheers
Nigel

It displays Dormer23.jpg not dormer23.jpg

The same picture doesn't appear on your 'street lighting' page.

Thanx DaveRo - I should have check the jolly old Mudcat before I downloaded every image (minus what I thought was the file) then looked at them all. And renamed properly. Then rolled the s/w to write the HTML and reloaded the offending files. Should be OK now.

On the plus side I found a file that had not been uploaded. So not all a silly episode.

Both pics in the right place.

I guess I notionally ignored capitals' significance, though I capitalise for a reason sometimes internally, then do/don't depending on a whim at other times. So much of what the internet/web does (did?) ignores them. Stuck with the mess, but I won't forget that one......... till the next time.

Case closed. Thanx guys.

So the light is now on the correct page, and re-labelled as "High Street" rather than "Gloucester Road".

Glad to help.

Case is and has always been significant in URIs.

Windows is the problem. Personally, I would just not use mixed-case filenames in web development.

Back-end s/w uses it. Still my s/w so I could have made a different choice - but it impacts 2054 images (and counting) and one befuddled brain now so I can't really change it. Oh - and the project has my files too, so I am sort of stuck with it.
