Am I wrong ?

Your guys, have you applied the same path ? Or not ?

As somebody mentionned, "baby steps" strategy is wise in such a field. I am inline with that. And this is what I am applying.

Should I ask the admin to reset all my files ?
What do you mean ? Have you copied the assets ? What is inside your img/ folder ?
If the board is not here, then that's probably the cause of the issue..

When my developper account has been created some tutorial games have been copied : hearts, gomoku and reversi.
Each time I create a new game, says tutoone, tutotwo, ..., some files are created.
All these files are located at BGA, on a distant server.

What I did is to copy all these files locally on the hardisk on my PC.
I only perfrom changes and add new files locally, only on my own game, says "tutoseven".
Then I synchronize the local files with the distant files. Usually, I actually force the copy from local to distant locations, because I don't trust (yet) WinSCP.

Do you have different practices ?

To answer to your question : yes, in have the expected files in the "tutoseven/img", first locally, then copied to the distant server.

Maybe, unfortunately and by error, it could be possible that I change/add/remove some sensible file. This is why I am wondering about demanding the reset of all my files in the distant server.

It is working ! I have got the board being displayed.
However, honestly I don't understand why it is suddently working.

I decided to test with Edge browser, first without CSS file requiring any background image, just to observe the javascript console. I saw several error messages, in addition to warnings. Then, for another test with Edge browser, I required the board.jpg background image in the CSS file ... and it has been displayed.

I logged out and got logged in again but with Chrome browser, and it also worked: the picture board.jpg is now displayed.
I still have errors and warnings in the javascript console, but none related to board.jpg.

So it is a good news, but I am not still fully confident.

Anyway thanks a lot for your attention and your advise. Most likely it is not the end of my SOS ...

Take care,
Lucas
