I get error 400 everytime I try to publish/preview and I cannot view the images in GWD. I could see all the images and and edit everything fine last night. I uploaded to a webhost saved my work and closed GWD. When I came back this morning to edit again none of my images in GWD and my computer would say "some picture have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures", when I tried to open the HTML in GWD. Does anyone have any thoughts on what to do?

- Open your document. 
- Click on the Code view
- See the <img> tags in the markup. 
=> Verify that the path of the image is correct relative to the document.

I had same issue. Published the document and got 400 error and now can't see any images in this or earlier document. The image folder hasn't changed. Had previously published to review draft in browser and then this time it just stopped working.

I had similar issues but found a solution. The application has a bug where you specify the absolute location of the image on your website during testing and creation that works well. But when the code is published those links are all made relative. To correct this you have to look for the variable definitions in your published code are fix the links. Here is an example where I fixed it.

Google Web Designer image location:
http://greencoconut.nl/wp/wp-content/themes/origami-paper/animations/0-bird_1.png

Published code generated by Google Web Designer:
var bird$Config$ = {"src":"0-bird_1.png","id":"bird"};

Fix:
var bird$Config$ = {"src":"http://greencoconut.nl/wp/wp-content/themes/origami-paper/animations/0-bird_1.png","id":"bird"};

You have to do this for all the images and then it works again. Or you move it to the same folder as where you have your page where you load this. But that won't work if you have a WordPress blog for example because then it will look for an image located in the folder that you find in the addressbar. So it is better to hardcode this. A bit painful but we should not complain when you take into account that the software is free and generated nice animations in a very short time.
