Dick:
My comment on the protected space (you can see this within your non Admin account)  Go to your account then "My profile" then click on "Privacy" 
If you look at the Photo album you will notice it is members only (this is ok with me) but it means you can not link to the photos in your album and have everyone see them, at least without those people logging in as members. This is also why you can not see members Photo's on postings, until you log in.  

 This is OK with me, but My original question was could we have a non-restricted space for linked photos?

I believe none of the settings under "Privacy" are changeable except by an administrator? and I am NOT asking to change anything there.

Also if you are log on as Administrator (Dick & Jay) none of the above is an issues as nothing is restricted (That is why they have Administrators) Dick this could be why you don't have any issues seeing photos:
 and there is NO protected space from the point of view of an Administrator.

Jay please don't spend to much time on this, as it was mostly a question of how much we (WOA)  get dinged for file space, and how much we are nailed for traffic on the WOA ? if not much,  it would be great to have the photo space, else if it is allot then I would ask if we are getting a good deal on the web hosting.

Thanks you guys for all of your work,  I kind of hate asking for the photo space but I thought it might be a good thing in the long run+/-

In any case Please don't stress over this
Norm
