Yahoo may provide a URL, but I am guessing they do not allow direct linking of images.
You need an account with a site that allows direct linking, like a Premium (Pay) account with Image Event does.
There are lots of free picture hosting sites, but not all of them allow you to link to an image from a forum, etc. They are protecting themseves from being used for E-bay picture hosting, etc.
In my experiance Yahoo hosted images do not show up in a post unless you follow the link, view the image on Yahoo, get a cookie set by Yahoo, and then go back and visit the post again.
As everyone who is posting has to go to Yahoo to get the URL, they always see the image and think it works.
Sorry to bring bad news, but I think you need to find another picture hosting service.
The seat pictured above is on imageevent, and it should show up for everyone.
