Tivo doesn't work if you spell the shows incorrectly.

Non responsive. You are explaining the phenonmenon but not the reasons for it which is what I am trying to determine.

Can you do a Jesus avatar?

Two typical reasons:

1) The IT dep't of the viewer screens the link.

2) the website on which the picture resides prevents linking to pictures.

A tentacle mole.

What he said. As far as I know, our software doesn't filter anything on this end. IMDB never lets pictures through. Any picture posted in a private forum usually doesn't go through. If you're posting from your personal yahoo page, make sure that you've turned on the sharing function, and even then you may have trouble. You can't post from a yahoo group, as far as I can tell. A lot of hosts don't like to share pictures because they end up eating bandwidth. Every time someone loads one of our page with someone else's picture on it, it eats up the other person's bandwidth. If they're a low traffic site, their server may not be able to handle all of the hits.

The photo goes up -then it goes to red X. it was up at first. so none of these explain.

its her photo, not something being shared, so this isn't it either.

I recall this happening to me several months ago, and took it as a sign that I had not made the monthly sacrifice to He Who Waits In The Deep. (I think that was a Mole of Cthulu.)

Amazing Race 8 will be teams of four, including *gasp* kids.

Should we field a lawtalkers team?

Could be that the server gets flooded after the first few minutes and then takes down the photo. Could also be that the photo ends up in your/her cache and when your browser loads it, it goes to the cache instead of the server.

I don't know where she's hosting the photo.

I already asked TM if he would do it with me and I think he said he was waiting for Amazing Race Ten.

I would be down but am too lazy to do a videotape.
