Sounds like your localhost configuration is messed up, because the server refuses to send the files.

Can you open those images just in the browser yourself?

i stopped using folders inside media folder and that fixed this issue for time being, but i was told, thers another thread regarding that issue

I use folders inside the media/ folder myself, it's not an inherent problem in Impact, but it's a webserver configuration problem.

It sounds to me as though the general rule of the webserver is to disallow access but that the media folder (but not its children) is allowed.

Hey, I have this same problem, but all of my files are in the media folder. What about my localhost configuration would be messed up? When I try to load just the file, Apache says that it is forbidden and it gives me an error. What should I do to see what the problem is? I'm on OSX 10.7.

Heh-heh. I guess I was little to quick to post this. The access was set to 'No Access', so I changed that to read-write and it was fine.
