Brian,
I believe the problem could be that you're using photobox.co.uk for the image hosting. As a site it doesn't offer direct linking to other sites as far as I'm aware.

I use photobucket.com because it does enable efficient sharing and publishing of visual digital content online. Images and videos can be directly linked from Photobucket to any site.
You can open a free account with them or sign up for a pay package which costs just $25 per year and offers 5GB of storage with no bandwidth restrictions amongst it's other features.

Pete, can you help me out? I posted my pics from my yahoo photos, when I uploaded it the link worked but now it aint

[Brian G]

Peter my avatar is an upload from photobox.com and photos on the old site used to stop there. i will try using photobucket though cheers Peter.

[Pete M]

It's the direct linking problem again Neil, very few sights allow it because it can swallow a lot of bandwidth I'm afraid .
I've experienced similar problems in the past with photos hosted on MSN which is why I now have a PRO account on photobucket .

[Pete M]

Brian,
If you right click on your avatar and go to properties you'll find that your avatar image is actually hosted by talkangling.co.uk presumably uploaded onto a database on the server as opposed to being linked to your photobox account.

Here we go lets see if it works



From left to right Madforit, Andycarpcatcher, Ubat, Animal (Total Fishing), Kingfisher, Liquidized, hidden is MelBBS.

[Pete M]

There you go Brian.

A further word of advice however is to try and keep photos down to a maximum size of 500 X 500 pixels and no larger than 30000 bytes if possible.
Yours is 800 X 536 pixels and 104136 bytes.
Reduced it looks like this................


This is to save page spread as some people may be using low resolution monitors, also anything over 30000 bytes can take a long time to load for those that are still using a Dial-up connection.
