Suffusion Rotating Header Shows Nothing

[SparksinTexas]

Windows 7, IE 9, downloaded latest version of Word Press

1) I created a folder using Windows Explorer called ftp://www.websitename.us/wp-content/upl ... gesheader/

2) I loaded a couple of pictures into it (176kb, 1.2mb, & 4.4mb sizes)

3) I changed under Suffusion Options: Skinning : Header

Default styles or custom styles for header?: Custom Styles
Header Background Image Type: Use a rotating set of images from a folder
Folder for Rotating Header background: uploads/imagesheader/

NOTHING showing in my header except for my blog name

4) I changed under Backend: Site Optimization:

Auto-generate CSS file for customization options : Don't auto-generate the CSS, and link it in the HTML source (Highest load on server, elegant page source code)

NOTHING showing in my header except for my blog name

5) I changed under Other Graphical Elements : Header :

Header Layout Style : Header is outside the main wrapper, its background and contents are as wide as your browser window

NOTHING showing in my header except for my blog name

6) Deleted my browsing history & temporary Internet files in Internet Explorer: Tools: Internet Options

NOTHING showing in my header except for my blog name

Try to rename your pictures without using spaces in names and with all letters to lowercase - web servers have different ways of handling the space character and in your case probably just strip the spaces and the names of images simply don't match. As general rule, on the internet avoid spaces in names for everything, you can replace spaces with hyphen character "-".

Also - your images (2 of them) is HUGE as size. 4.4 M is good for printing in a newspaper, but in internet your server can simply give up before of loading such an image. Instead, use a graphic editor, crop your picture to desired size (like 1000x100px) and save images for web (all major grapic editors provide an option to save/export in an optimized format). In that way you can include in your header the most important part from your picture (like your heads by example and not the ceiling of the room) and will be much smaller in size so it can be handled by your server.

NOTHING showing in my header except for my blog name7) Compressed pictures so that all are under 200kb

Still NOT working

8) Renamed files from : p1 (1).jpg to p1(1).jpg (took out spaces)

Still NOT working

9) Renamed files from : p1(1).jpg to p1.jpg (took out non-alphanumeric characters)

WORKING!!!!!!

10) Put in non-compressed pictures but named them p1.jpg (1meg file) & p2.jpg (4meg file)

WORKING!!!!! But, of course pictures that large only show a tip of your picture but I wanted to stress test the system.
