PossumGirl Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I was able to cut and paste a photo from my Yahoo Photos account on the "Please, Please, Please Help" thread over in the Internet/Satellite section. Yesterday, it appeared to be there for all to see. However, today, I am informed that others see only an empty frame with a red cross, indicating that there is no picture, while I am quite clearly able to see the picture when I look.I reset my Yahoo Photos account to make that particular picture "public" but that doesn't seem to have resolved the issue. So, any suggestions on what I did wrong and how to fix it?I'm repeating what I did here with another photo:PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 PG, I was here about 15 minutes ago, and the picture was showing fine. Now, once again, it has gone and left only the box with the red cross. I'm sorry I don't know what is going wrong [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Forum Admin Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Then maybe only users/members of that website can see it? There must be a reason why some of you can and some of you can't. It's not forum settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find weird is that, Tresco, for example, was able to see it, but when she checked back she no longer could.My bet would be a Yahoo problem of some type, but what type, I have no idea...PG (perplexed...)

ali-cat Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 The fact that I can still see it, is starting to worry me!! [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hastobe Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I think the end characters - after the ? may be a user ID forphotobucket - so if you are a registered user and have a photobucketcookie set it allows you to view the page - other wise it won't?Kathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can still see the photo on the original post but cant see the photo on this post, but could a couple of hours ago??. I'm a photobucket user so that doesn't seem to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-cat Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Nope - I can't see it on the link. We also have photobucket - but that's only confusing things, even more!!Mystic Ali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Forum Admin Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I think you can still see it because you have a cached version of it/or the page...I reckon it's no longer there...that's my theory...[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumGirl Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 It's on Yahoo, not Photobucket. The photo is definitely still there, I checked.However, Yahoo has been doing things with their software I think, and it may be down to that. I suppose I may have to set up an account on Photobucket or Pixma and see if that works better...PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Why can I still see it?!! Have I developed a Third Eye?!! Should I go out & buy a Lottery Ticket?!!

PossumGirl Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Okay. James is right. I refreshed the page and now I don't get it either, so clearly it was still in the cache. I will need to investigate the problem with Yahoo. Perhaps they specifically have it set that way so that people can't copy content or link to them, thus using their bandwidth. In which case, I will definitely need another solution.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumGirl Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think I took this picture very shortly after Diva Maggie came to live with us. Her early life was a difficult one, and I think that she was still a little bit insecure!
