Frustrated placing pic in profile

[sweetcocoa]

I've tried posting a pic of my hair with a link from both Yahoo where I have picture's uploaded and also from a site called My Home. It stays for awhile then disappears, leaving a <font color="red">x</font>. If I go back to either site and refresh my uploaded files, it's visible once again... but only for a few hours. Is there another site or way I can accomplish this?

Sincerely,
Frustrated

The same thing kept happening to me when I tried linking my profile pic from my album in Ofoto. At other times I'd get a message where my pic should be, saying that it was unavailable due to maintenance. I solved both problems by transferring my profile pic to picturetrail.

Sweetcocoa,

From what I've heard, Yahoo! doesn't allow picture linking from other sites. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hi Sweetcocoa and Serena

Allandra is right. Yahoo does not allow cross linking between sites and their own. What happens is that when you first visit yahoo you get a unique visit id which is handled by a cookie (a small text file) in your computer. When you revisit the site this visit id changes. Hence when you crosslink the file (photo) from yahoo to here, you will find out that it might work for a while for you and then it won't.

You have to find some sort of server that allows these pictures to be uploaded and then link them to your profile.
