: when I post them, nothing!!

Hi Joe

On your post, the link to the photo was this:

http://atlantic.photoisland.com/sessions/16090829108/20982500md.jpg

see that word 'sessions' in there? That link is only available to you. A session is created when you log into photoisland and disappears when you log out again. The session id is like a time-stamp of your current connection to their site.

The link probably works for you because you have a locally cached version of the image with that session address. We don't have a cached version with that address because only you could have had that session. Also, the session no longer exists, so the link will never work for anybody other than you - and it will eventually also fail for you, when your cached image expires and gets removed.

Anyway, you need to find a way to get the link to the photo using an album or something rather than a session. That way, we will be able to view it using the address you provide because it will be a more permanent address.

Some sites seem to have an 'auction' option or something, that you can use to get an address you can post for people to view the image (presumably to put on something like e-bay).

Hmm, think I'll put some initial thoughts on this stuff into kayak wiki.

Peter.
