My picture (in the contest) is unavailable now...I dont know why??!

When you post pictures from another site, like Photobucket, what actually happens is the computer takes the link (computer address) from the other site and then brings the picture from that link to the forum. So the bad part about having a Photobucket picture on the forum is, if you want to be able to see your photo forever, on the forum, you have to always keep it in Photobucket. Once the photo is removed from the other account, it then becomes unavailable to the forum.

Is this what happened to your picture?

I just took a look at the submissions for the calendar and post #20 shows your beautiful tortoise. Picture is just fine!

"Free" sites like photobucket/imageshack will delete photos after a certain period of time if you don't log in, after it's been viewed too many times, or if it hasn't been viewed for a certain period of time.

My favorite free site is Picasa by Google (http://picasaweb.google.com/.) You get 1g of free space, and there's a program you can download to organize/resize/retouch/crop your photos (http://www.google.com/picasa/.) You can upload through the website, or through the program. It's a lot cleaner with less ads than photobucket/imageshack.

To embed a photo from picasa on the forum, find the photo you want to use and choose these options:
picasa-help.PNG


Type
so it looks like this:

You can hit the 'Preview Post' button to make sure it looks right. When you post it, it shows up just like this:
