: I'll take a stab at it.

: Their web server can see that the request for the image came from a page
: which is not hosted by them. It can then decide not to send it to you.
: Many sites don't like you to link directly to images on their sites, since
: it is effectively stealing their bandwidth.

: When you paste the url in directly, their server is happy, and it sends you
: the image. When you then go back to the KBBS page, the image is there because
: the browser has cached it, and can fill in the page itself.

: I don't know exactly how accurate that theory is, but I'll bet it's close.

Thanks Ross
Sounds plenty technical to me, so I'll buy it.. :)
I have an account with Web-Shots actually, ( just for my screen saver pics. ) and I would have thought it would recognize my computer signature ( if there's such a thing ). ?? Guess they are two different areas of their Site...

Who knows, it's there now and looks good too! What else matters. :)
