The reason that Yahoo doesn't work, is because too many people upload pictures to their servers to a Yahoo-homepage and use it as storage and link to the pictures from other pages.
That is called "Remote-Linking".

If too many people do that on a worldwide basis - that will eat up a lot of the server bandwidth and slow down their servers.

So Yahoo doesn't support "Remote-Linking" like that anymore - saving their bandwidth to people who actually use their homepages and services.


In short - pictures on a Yahoo-server, can only be seen through the Yahoo-server by accessing the actual homepage that is created there by the user or accessing the Yahoo-Group where the picture is uploaded to.
You can't pick out one picture from a Yahoo-server/-homepage and remote-link to it from a site like this forum.


Some web-/homepage-services do support the "Remote-link"-feature.



Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.

For those of you on broadband, it is real easy to set up your own website and/or host your own pictures on your home computer. Of course, if you shut your computer down at night then the pictures won't work either...

It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...
