Hi again Steve

I went through murder getting pics to post (witness my LONG despairing thread!!).

One thing to check with Yahoo is that you've made your picture folder "public". Also, what resolution are the pics? Yahoo say they don't make "Hi-res" pics public - but helpfully don't explain what they count as hi-res! The other thing is to make sure you're copying the address from the full-size pic, not the thumbnail. (Sorry if I telling you how to suck eggs!)

I haven't tried Yahoo since I got an MSN folder running, but I'll try now:



Here's hoping...

Hi Steve

That works on my browser, so maybe one of the points above will help.

As an alternative, make an album at MSN - Armorama have a group page or, as a last resort, make your own website. It sounds drastic, but it took me 10 minutes with my ISP's own wizard - they give 30Mb of free space and the pics uploaded first time!

Good luck

Rowan

Steve,
I think there's something strange with Yahoo Pictures... I've tried several times with porky, but the only "certain" result is to post a link to the html page hosting the pages. If you try to link the pics directly you can see only in your own browser. If you flush the cache also the pic disappears.
The only suggestion I can give you is too look for another free provider...
Ciao

I don't think you can link directly to the photos from Yahoo and post have them appear here. I think you have tou link to the whole folder. That is what I had to do with my Aberdeen gallery. If you hit the libk below it will take you to my gallery as a guest. Hope this helps. You will have to click on the the link at the bottom left when you get there. It does have to be public...

I tried Yahoo photos before, I never got to post any pics in there so I resorted to MSN groups. Sure solved my problem
