Yeah, that's the point. These links behave exactly like "
www.somesitename.com/someimage.jpg". But they're not. They're going through some additional layer of lookup crap that I wish wasn't there. So far they seem to work. The new homepage space and tools are hidden behind Adobe Flash. You know the frustration of right-clicking on stuff you want to get into and getting back a useless little Flash context menu. The only way to get external links to any image I upload to this space is to click on an "Enlarge Photo" button, which opens a new tab with the unscaled image, and a link that looks like what I posted above. There seems to be no way to get direct links to my stuff. With music, it's worse. There is no way to download or link music files directly. All I can do if I want you to listen to something, is give you
the generic link to the page, and ask you to go to the music tab and click on the audio file there to listen to it. I can't even link trhe music section directly. (Remember, all hidden behind a Flash swf layer.) All control I had over my hosted files is gone, and replaced with this sad, crippled, restrictive piece of shit.
