    In the past, I may have had a problem finding a photo that fit a story, but today I ran into a new problem.
    when putting the url of the photo into the story, it does not work if the url actually has a .com or .org in it. I tried many photos today, and all had that. I had never had this problem before.
    Apparently photo sites are doing this to prevent their photos, even the ones with watermarks from being used.
    Anyone know a work around?

    What is the error?
    Do you have a link of a draft chapter with an example?

    Download photo. Reupload photo to free hosting site. Use hosting site as new web address.
