Anyone know why a couple of pictures I have linked to from this are fine for 10-15 mins and then the URL seems to change?

http://img3014.photobox.co.uk/580868036156b3b0903c... - now



Also, whilst we're on things that are p-ing me off today anyone else know why Firefox started doing all my writing backwards until I restarted the computer? ie. retupmoc was computer etc..

1. Photobox sucks. Use photobucket or imageshack

2. Your firefox and/or computer is fked. Reinstall firefox and if problem persists, then it is probably a virus/spyware. So either find it or rebuild.

Photobox is great for getting photos printed, not so good at hosting them. Flickr is a great site for hosting.

I'm going to guess that this is to stop you linking the images onto other forums which indirectly costs Photobox money.

As others have said use some of the other sites out there to host eg. imageshack, flickr

Thanks for the tips guys, I've found out what I was doing wrong.

You need to make the album public, which I'd done. Then you need to copy the URL of the album, log out and find the album once logged out. Then you grab the address of the picture and it should work.

Seems over compilcated to me but there we go..Hoipe this helps someone in the future.
