Hi Nancy & all,

Are you sure the URL change is intentional? One
thing I've seen more than once is that an
online-gallery member will be logged into their
site and will send out the URL that they're
currently on, whereas that URL can't be accessed
without the account holder's log-in code.

Another thing that frequently happens is that
long URL's get split into two lines in email. So
you end up clicking on half the URL, which of course doesn't work.

Then there are those times when people type in a
URL, which is always risky. Much better to copy
and paste it right from the browser address window.

Can you give us examples of the bad URL's you've tried to follow?

Best wishes,

Marc Hoffman
