Most websites would prefer you not leech their bandwith by linking directly to their images. It only takes a few seconds to upload the image to photobucket and then link from there. Failure to do so can have unintended and sometimes disastrous consequences.
Rather than start a new thread, thought I'd just drop it here- I have been unable to post pictures lately- I don't know if this is due to now being out of the country or having my privlidges revoked (do you get a notification when something like this happens?) Some help, please?
On what post did you attempt to post a photo? Try it here. Let's see what you're doing wrong. More than likely it's the location of your image. Make sure you and a friend (not on the same network) can see the same URL address for the same photo.
