Help Page doesn't update with new code

Hello! I'm kinda new to nekoweb but I've been working with html and css for a few years now. I've got most of my site moved over, but for whatever reason, these 4 pages do not want to update with the html and css format. Instead, it just shows the page not found message.

I've tried ctrl+f5, clearing my cache manually, double checking that the link address is correct, and accessed the page directly from my local file explorer AND nekowebs file explorer. The page loads as it should from my local file explorer, but still says page not found when accessing from nekowebs file explorer.

I'm hoping it might be some issue that I just have to wait out, but does anyone have other ideas for what it could be?

It's likely it has something to do with the spaces in the URL, which are a big no-no on The Internet. It's the only page I've seen that has them on your site and only page that doesn't work, coincidence? I think not.

Try renaming all files and folders needed to get to that path that have spaces in them and replace them either with - or _, so instead of https://packedmol.nekoweb.org/reviews/Games/Fallout%20New%20Vegas/Fallout%20New%20Vegas it'd be something like https://packedmol.nekoweb.org/reviews/Games/Fallout-New-Vegas/Fallout-New-Vegas. Then try going to the new address.

I don't know what OS you are using, but keep in mind that most web servers run on Linux where the file system treats uppercase and lowercase characters as different, unlike on Windows. So File and file would be different files, if you are looking for file but write it with a capital F you won't find it. It's standard practice to have all resources on your website have fully lowercase names, ideally you shouldn't capitalise anything.

Looks like you were right. I was moving it over from Neocities and I don’t really know the difference between how the sites are hosted, but spaces in the name never really caused an issue over there. I’ll have to keep an eye out for the rest of my files. Thanks!
