OK here's one I have never seen. I have images from one website appearing on another. I've had images appear on the same site in the wrong place, but never an image from one site to another. This is frustrating because as I correct one image and Preview the site another image is messed up.
Check my site here, http://www.cincinnaticomputerdoctor.com and you'll see images in it from the church site I do.
HELP!

It sounds like your files have gone out of sync. Here is what I would like you to do.

1. Go to the Publish Menu and select FTP Account Settings and select your FTP Account.

2. Verify that all information is correct and the Remote Folder path is not empty. Typically you would enter in a / or /public_html here but you need to confirm with your hosting provider what the correct path is. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS PATH IS CORRECT.

3. Go to the Publish Menu and select Choose a Publishing Destination and select your FTP Account and then click Save.

4. Finally, go to the Publish Menu and select Re-Sync Website.

With any luck, everything should be back to normal.

Well not a minute later as I view the site the wrong images disappeared from the front page. There is still one on the PC Repairs page though. A refresh does nothing.

Thanks Scott, but no luck. I now have another image that's been replaced on my computer site from the church site. This page http://cincinnaticomputerdoctor.com/PC-Repairs.html All the FTP settings are correct on both sites, and the Remote Folders are named differently. Neither of these sites go to the same server.
I've had issues like this before with the church site. Last week the front page did this until I had to re-create several of the images. A wrong image would show up in the place of another, I'd re-create it, Preview and all would look good, but after Publishing that image would be good but here would be another image gone wrong, and it was good the time before. I think I had to do that to four images, again each time the image was good on a prior Publish.

I would suggest deleting your entire website off of your server and then immediately publish again in VSD.

Yes, I've done that before and it usually fixes things. Again never seen it mix images from sites before.

Deleted the site from the server and uploaded again. Same issue.
Used Edit/Remove Files and selected all, then OK to delete all files. Hit Save and uploaded again, all images were OK but the menu disappeared and had to be put back in via VSD.
