MSN may indeed protecting links, but one thing you must remember is that the URL, if you aren't going to attach it through the E-budo, must end in jpg, gif, doc, or zip, encased in tags. I am the only member here (who I know of who actually posted a doc file years ago (it leaves a link to the article (it may have been text, but I don't think so).

You could try to leave off everything after JPG and to see if that works, who knows? Better to save the pic to your harddrive and make sure is under the max res, and the dimensions of 600x800.

I just noticed, the tap PNG was replaced with PDF. Interesting, as I have better pics in PDF format than anywhere else, but the still must meet the limits in dimention and res.
