I paid $$$ and direct linking is not working. What gives?

Cocnerning your link problem:

You need to add ".jpg" extension to your link, like this:

However, the direct link seems to have an issue with Mozilla/Netscape, since the upper link is a redirection, so you'll need to give the final server to make sure it works wit IExplorer and Mozilla/Netscape:

See the result of one of your picture (not the toilet one!) here:

i don't think that question was out of line at all -- i actually have the same issue. i think the "$$$" was only mentioned so that it would be clear that this wasn't a free member trying to direct link -- which is not allowed.

i am also having problems with my direct links to images not working. it has worked in the past, but it not working now. so, maybe there is an issue going on.

as for the answer given, i appreciate the help, but i have to admit that i did not understand the answer at all. if this is in fact the explanation, could a little more information be provided so i can understand what i need to do for my direct links to work? thanks in advance....

Open the largest version of the pix you wish to direct link. Copy the url that you see on the top of the page.

To that link, add .jpg No spaces between any of the words That should work now.

Good luck
