slowest member finally figured out how to post picture
asleitch:
I can't see it either. The reason it appears for you is that the image is "cached" on your harddrive, so the computer knows what is at the link the image is pointed to. As a result, instead of downloading it, it uses the copy already on your harddrive, to speed up the page download. For everyone esle however, it does't work :?

Adam,
I think it is something more obscure than that. If I right-click on the red X and select properties, and copy the URL to another browser window, I can load the picture. Therefore the link is correct. At this point it would be cached on my system too, but still will not load in the forum post when viewed.
It also doesn't explain why some folks CAN see the images, which aren't cached on their systems.
asleitch:
Ahh 'cos after right clicking and getting the URL from the properties and then viewing the image (I was able to see it) and then using the browser "back" button, it was visible in the posting. But as soon as I refresh, it looses the image from it's local cache the image disappears again.
I've honestly never found a better site for hosting than www.pbase.com
They go out and out to make direct linking as simple as possible, even giving you various sizes based on the images you upload. They have never ever been down for as long as I've been using them, and they have a tremendous following amongst the amatuer photography fraternity.

I'm just going to find another site to host teh pictures. I can see them fine but if others are having trouble it just frustrates them and me when I want to show something or need help explaining something with a picure.

imagestation.com the one I use most offten.
photobucket.com
