You still don't seem to be getting the whole address, Majic... PI URLs are hideously long and you have to scroll down miles to get them. Sometimes it may look like you've got the whole URL but there's actually another line underneath that - and your picture won't work unless you have the filename on the end.

The URL you were using was:

http://photos.msn.com/imageserver/image.aspx? Image=*EtEZjHm6cp*ifUY4heUhNDTCReZW2eeSe!JsrY6QKf1jSwU!5ghlmbtQJm96i9RcY4p5IIuNAp5AZTepxhacyksYonZ3*< br/>plL*ayrC0gglQpjCVCdBDVVE15ynXNWhDS

There's a couple of things wrong with it: you didn't ought to have the < br/> tag in the middle of it - that's kind of a mutant html linebreak tag, I don't think URLs like those in the middle of them - and you need the actual filename on the end - I don't know, maybe you saved it as "carobrite.jpg" (I don't know which picture you're trying to post). I don't think the "Image=" should be in there, either.

As an example, this is the image URL of one of my PictureIt images:

http://content.communities.msn.co.uk/_Secure/0OQBYBtAURVnxao5LMLzJ*uv3papJRqj84p27lpzE7Ru87JPvTSI3yTsmSQThteEjiy!FGhpHuCNgSrnGkLgyjgv3qpk*85Md/fox_col_exp.gif

You should be looking for something similar to that for your picture to work. If you really have problems, you could send someone the address of the site you hosted the picture on and we can help you post it.

If all else fails you could just attach the picture, using the "attach file" function below. (I think that uploads direct from your harddrive, you don't actually need a webhost, but then maybe you knew that already? I don't know.)
