I attached a link to my NPN image gallery on a post to my facebook and my friends are unable to get there. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks.

Bruce - Can you post the link that you used? It's possible that it's different for you if you're logged in than it needs to be for others. If I just take your gallery link below your signature, that seems to work even when I'm logged out. Here's how it looks to me :

I think you're right David. I tried the link from my mobile and it didn't work. I don't stay logged in on my phone. I attached the link you provided. waiting to here a response. Thanks.

Did the new link work from your phone?

yes both phone and pc. the original link was copied from the URL dialoque box. apparently that's np the way to do it.
thanks.

Bruce, all pages on the NPN website are "open to the public" - no registration required to view any of it!

FYI, links to personal galleries like yours below -

...can be changed to this to make it shorter;

http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/ic.cgi?a=up&pi=BRUAK&ns=1

Notice everything after "&ns=1" can be deleted.

Jim:

Is it possible to make the link even simpler eg
loginname.naturephotographers.net OR naturephotographers.net/loginname ?

Gary, that could be added to the 2013 budget!
