The Photo Gallery upload feature is disabled till after the server migration, which should be happening very soon now.

OK, how do I link to them? I can't get to photobucket from work but I can get to my picasa web album and would prefer to link from there.
Let me try this....
Nope, doesn't seem to have worked. I used the "Insert Image" button.

Nay,
It's Picasa. This first link displays your picture when clicked.
http://picasaweb.google.com/reneegallo/WhaleWatching/photo#49566791047455
but that's not what we want...
This second link is the same exact url but using the Image button, but obviously no picture.
Just to make sure, I manually substituted the image tag for the link tag. So it should have worked.
A test picture from one of my AT&T sites using the same image tag/button works fine:
So we know that works.
I then suspected that Google changes the "fully qualified url" to something else on Picasa for every image in your slideshow. Which in fact they do. Go to Picasa, and right click on the photo itself, then click properties, you'll see that the actual link to the photo is this:
http://lh6.google.com/reneegallo/RMmpYlf2ABI/AAAAAAAAAAM/p3BGsygDqPA/P1080009.JPG
However Google gave me this error when I clicked on the link, so they're not allowing links to the actual url of photos in your gallery on Picasa except through their viewer:
Google
Error
Forbidden
Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.
So try Photobucket, or just wait a few days for Pete to get the SB Gallery working. From what I've read in Site Support it's the first thing they're doing after they're sure of the new server migration - which seems to be going well.
