If you were expecting a wow pic, faggetaboudit......I actually wanted to let you in on WHY your posts have not been coming out lately from the yahoo group you use.....
Yahoo has recently instituted a new schema to thwart off hyperlinking pics. Based on the way most people link (yourself included based on the URL you've been using), they clink on a pic, copy the URL and then paste it into a post. Well, Yahoo has gotten smart. When you click on a pic, the URL shown is actually a temp storage area. They copy the file over to a temp area and then clean it out periodically. So the URL might be the same for a day but if you click on it again, it's gone.
How do you get around this? I'm glad you asked....
1. Put your pics in the FILES section of your yahoo group.
2. when you link the pic to post, don't use the URL that shows up on your address bar
3. Instead, use the original format that yahoo used to use:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/(WHATEVERTHE FUCK THE NAME OF YOUR GROUP IS)/files/(pic name).jpg
Now.....wasn't that easy? You can repay me by posting some hottie toddie WOW's the RIGHT FUCKIN WAY.......
