Another update: Earthlink just sent me this message:
<start of message>
We have reviewed the issue, and it is related to a recent security enhancement implemented across all hosting environments to improve overall website protection, including your account.
As part of this update, certain file names such as “config.xml” are now restricted by the system, as they are commonly associated with sensitive configuration files. For security reasons, access to files with these names may be blocked, even if the content itself is valid.
This explains why the images do not display when using the name “config.xml,” but work correctly once the file is renamed (for example, to “home.xml”).
To resolve this, we recommend renaming the affected files to a different name that does not include “config.”

It would have been nice if they had warned my first.
Thanks
