How to link photo from Smugmug - 01-13-2009, 06:47 PM

I'm having all kinds of trouble linking a file from Smugmug. It keeps giving me an "invalid URL" message. This is the link I'm trying to use.

http://roachphoto.smugmug.com/photos...31_t8Ymu-L.jpg

1. I select "Manage Attachments"
2. Enter the URL in the "Upload File from a URL" field.
3. Click "Upload".
4. Scream!

Sounds simple! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Or just use the [IMG] tags.



That way you don't upload it and save some space. You just link to it on your site.
