# thank you...
i'm being a tad sneaky with the way i'm linking to my pics... putting them directly on my site was killing my bandwidth so i point them at eclectech, then eclectech redirects out to an msn group... if you copy the eclectech location into your address bar you should get the true current location and then you should be able to save ok... not totally bizarre... having the direct link to my site means if msn goes titsup i can just change the redirect to another location but the b3ta links still work... :-)

# how are you redirecting images?
I'd like to move some pics to another directory is there a way to do it so i don't have to copy everything?

# it's a bizarre combination of a custom 404 set in a htaccess file...
which is actually a php file that reads through a text redirect file... so if the requested url matches it sends a redirect else it sends a 404...

set up so that i can move b3ta pics around into different folders (and different web servers) without having a major link maintenance issue...

if this doesn't make sense i can send you the stuff... email me her AT the domain you would expect :-)

# That's probably it
MSN has sneaky code that stops it if you include it in the full URL... check the MSN FAQ (I dunno where it is) and see if you can pull it out?

Thanks for all the other suggestions, but they was all wrong. :-)

# ah... it's a browser thing...
when i do a "save image as" in mozilla it works fine... when i do it in ie it barfs... but if you put the eclectech location in the ie address bar and let it redirect to msn you seem to be able to File... Save As... and get the pic...
