All pictures/images must be uploaded in Binary format or they will not display correctly.

ASCII should be used for text, HTML, CSS, or CGI/PHP files. Using the wrong mode to upload an HTML file, will cause the source to display unparsed. With CGI files, the script may not work correctly.

to echo the previous post, the files may not work or display correctly if they are transferred in the wrong mode.

you will not have to delete the files, just upload them again using the correct mode and they should replace the bad ones automatically.
