There goes mozilla again - it put in the Subject of the last message I responded to, about a week ago! Have to remember to check that in the preview in future.

: 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.
