I’ve checked out the pics you posted earlier today, and they’re showing up fine on my computer.

Pro'ly what is happening is that you first access the photo on Photobucket through your account, thus it is cached in your browser. If it isn't your photo, you are at least doing it directly through the PB Web site. Either way, it is cached.

Then when you add it in to a FR post via an html link and you preview, your browser pulls up the image from cache and not the internet. Everything looks hunkydory to you but when we viewers of the post access the link, Photobucket (and lots of other sites) substitute their warning graphic or return nothing at all.

Here's how you can predict the problem. After you preview the post, use the browser's refresh button (or menu command) to force a re-read via the Internet. That might not do the trick if you have Photobucket open in another tab or have your PB session credentials in a cookie. It's worth a try though.

Sometimes I use sources to post images, but if it is something important to me, I jut load it up to my own server. That way it is guaranteed.

My work computer blocks images from some of the photo-sharing sites. Maybe something like that’s the problem.
