Image station

Ive uploaded a heap of photos to imagestation.com and im putting links to the photos on my website. But once I get all the links typed up, and test them out it comes up with an error message. How can I fix this? The same thing happens when I use Yahoo photos too, the links work for a little while (2 clicks) then stop working!

Can you post a URL so I can see exactly what error message you're getting?

yeh, http://www.imagestation.com/images/sorry.gif and on the yahoo photos one an alert thing come up saying "Specified server could not be found"

Right, their server is detecting the fact that the page requesting the image is not hosted on their server. Providers do this to prevent 'hijacking' of content by simply linking to it from elsewhere. If you consider the bandwidth costs of images versus the HTML file that references them, they'll end up bearing the greater cost, perhaps without being able to force advert banners over your page, etc. Is there a particular reason why you need to use imagestation? What do they provide you that you can't find elsewhere? Why do you need to link to images hosted by them from elsewhere?
