Deep Linking to an Image

I get a 404 error when deep linking to an image.

This is the url that I would think to use:

http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/Mounta ... rse-02.JPG

I am attempting to include this image in a forum post on another website.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

You need to use the full image URL location. You cannot use the "rewrite" path that X3 is using within the application ...
http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/conten ... rse-02.JPG

Even X3 loads your images like this ... You can right-click an image, open in new tab and you will find something like this to a resized image:
http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/render ... rse-02.JPG

Replace the render/w800-c3:2-q90/ with content/, and you have the full url:
http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/conten ... rse-02.JPG

Just because X3 generates "nice" page url's, doesn't mean the images are physically located in the same nice url's.
