To overcome this problem you may undertake different steps. It is necessary to know where exactly you are uploading the images on your server. You can make sure that when you save files on your hard drive you store them mirroring the location on the web server. This proves to be helpful when you upload the files, as you would know where it is to be uploaded. Similarly, if your server and hard drive are not matching you know that something has not been uploaded. Using this method for storage can reduce the chances of mistakes.

Even the names of images are of relevance. When you link to an image on the hard drive if you make a mistake in the naming it causes error. Most web servers are case sensitive and an image file “home.jpg” would be different from “HOME.jpg”. Most of these web servers also do not allow spaces to be put in the file names. You can make use of relative links so that they display the same way on the hard driver as well as web servers. With relative links they don’t use the exact location reference but the image in relation to current page. This helps not losing the file link. Instead if you use absolute links then these have the exact location of the image. If you move the folder then it would give a wrong direction and your image would not be displayed.

It is important that you consider all these factors when you are trying to resolve the mystery behind disappearing images. Images are useful in making your site attractive. However, keep their use limited only to the extent that is really necessary. This will ensure that you have limited management of images to do as well as you web page would not require to much of time to load on your visitor’s browser.
