OK. So I clicked on the "copy URL to clipboard". Then I click on IMG here. Then I paste the URL into the IMG thingee. And this is what happens...

I've checked to see the code you used, and it's exactly right. I don't know what's going on.

I know certain image types aren't accepted, but JPGs should work fine.

I just checked your tags, and they are fine. So the problem is with where they are being hosted.

How long ago did you upload them? Is there a lag time? The other thing I can think of is that villiage photos has a bandwidth limit, and once you've reached it for the day, they don't let the pic load.

Another option is to use the photo option if you have a yahoo account. It doesn't allow for direct linking, but if you paste the URL we can go look at it. One of our members, Algonacchick, uses that all the time and it works well. Just make sure it's marked as a public album. It's free and you get 30 MB of space.

I just checked, you've hit your usage limit for the day. See? It wasn't you at all. Well, except for exceeding your limit...

Thanks for looking out for me!

I loaded the photos into Yahoo - no sweat! But how do I copy the URL?

Sorry to be a pest...

I'll assume you know how to navigate the Yahoo Photos... Just find the one you want to share, and highlight the URL in the address bar, then copy (CTRL C) and then paste it (CTRL V) in the post you want it to be seen in.

Oh, and you have to make sure the album is marked for public viewing.

When I try to do that, I get this error message:

Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed

So, I'm going to eat dinner with my husband and try to post from Village photos tomorrow!@

Thanks for all your help! :D

No, you can't direct link... so using the IMG tags will not work. Just paste the URL and we can click or cut&paste to see it.
