Linked images dont always show up for some people ?

Quite a few times recently I find that when I embed a photo into a post in a PHPBB forum there are some people that see nothing.
Of course I can see the images if I am using a Browser that is set to login into my Smugmug page.
Ive taken to copying another copy of the image to a seperate website and linking to that image rather than to Smugmug.
Sometimes I get reports that the image isnt visable when I post it but then get feedback maybe a day later that the end user can now see it which is really odd.
Example in case is this post I just made

Ive left the original code in also so if you see 4 images ( 2 duplicates ) then that is good. If you only see a total of 2 images then you are just seeing a Link to the other static webhost versions.
Why is it so ?
I tried looking at the link through Google Chrome Not logged in at all and with Chrome I only currently see the static webhost versions
If I manually go direct to the image on Smugmug first then when I go the forum link then it all works "properly"

That was even worse. If I pasted that Direct in a Browser it worked fine, but in PHPBB with the IMG tags it showed nothing
BTW I have removed the duplicate image paths now and just put a Hyperlink entry to the alternate images

change it to yes, and all will be well.

Thanks Andy - Very wierd as I have never to my recollection set external links to No for any gallery - I'll see how it goes now.
