I have a tripod site also DI. I learned long ago that the photos from tripod do not show up when you try to submit an image like you did. I wish it wasnt that way. So I shall link to the image directly with a right click.

The link you need is this:

There was one too many /'s - and we can only deal with one Slash!

Errrrr......

Alas, the picture is visible on my computer, don't know why it isn't working for others (you will have to excuse me as I am far from guru status on these wizz bang compooter things). :rolleyes:

Cheers, for posting the link, it seems you need to copy and paste it into a new browser window to get it to work.

You see it because it's in your cache, and it's in your cache because you presumably retrieved it from your own site.
Tripod, like most free hosts, does not allow direct links to pics - a practice they call 'warehousing'. They prevent this by detecting where the link has come from (HTTP_REFERER) and if it wasn't a .htm(l) page on their server, you get booted. Copying and pasting the link into the address box works because the aforesaid REFERER property is null in that case, and obviously must be allowed through otherwise nobody would ever get in.
