    well even though you've posted your link of the pic, but since some people in here may not have facebook account, so they somehow just still can't view your picture.

    however, you can choose either of the following picture hosting websites to help you:

    Links:

    http://www.flickr.com/

    http://photobucket.com/

    http://www.imageshack.us/

    Then, you just need to:

    1. Go to the page you want to get the link for.

    2. Press F6 and you will see the link/ url is highlighted.

    3. Press "Ctrl" & "C"/ or right click the mouse on the link and then choose "Copy"

    4. Go back to the question and then in the answering box, press "Ctrl" & "V"/ or right click the mouse in the answering box and then click "Paste"

    5. You're done posting the link you want in Yahoo! Answers.

    Hope I helped.

    P.S. Right now Yahoo! Answers may sometimes ban your link for your post, which means you would get an error message 999 (the reason is to prevent spammers). So in order to fix this, just post your question or answer without the link first, then after the posting, your just click "Edit" to your question or answer to give "Addition Information" or post the link in your answer, then the link will be shown.

    Keeping in mind that ONLY people with facebook accounts can view the link, you can just copy the address from the address field at the top of the browser window and paste it with your question. If you want others to be able to see it, consider Photobucket or another photo sharing site.
