If I use the "insert photo button" in the WYSIWYG editor and insert the same URL, the photo shows up, but only in my browser. Everyone else who visits my threads just gets a little red x where the photo should be. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I think happened:

The photos that you upload as attachments come directly from your picassa account while you were logged in, so they get downloaded to the site and can be now seen by everyone.

If your Picassa album is not public (i.e. you can't view it without logging in), embedded photos will not show.

I don't like having members upload files that are already online using the attachment system, however, so please try to avoid that if possible, as it uses both our space and Picassa's space redundantly. What I recommend is to attach photo's that you've never uploaded before and to link to photos that are already online (assuming you've made them public).

Thanks!
