I have found (just recently as a matter of fact) that even posted URL/HyperLinks do not always work through posted messages on Yahoo. I host a LOT (most, actually) of the photos I reference in posts on my own site and just put the link to them in my post... but as Ted Larson has recently found out, that does not always work. Is this caused by some issue with Yahoo? I may be, but I doubt it because EVERY SINGLE LINK I have ever posted (exclusing typos I may have occasionally made when typing the url ) has ALWAYS worked for me. So it MUST be some issue with the software being used by the reader who the links do not work for. And I guess it could also be some sort of translation issue with the read er's ISP...
Also... Unless I am sadly mistaken, one or two of the other groups I am a member of actually takes photos that are ATTACHED to postings from people who use such software as Outlook/Outlook Express and automatically places the photo in either the PHOTOS or FILES section of that group. In this case, if someone can't find the photo in the actual message (or the link to it does not work), they can go to the appropriate section of the group and find that photo there. I believe the ACL/SAL/SCL Modeler group that does this... and maybe one of the others as well.

Buttons?, Attachment? Web Access? We have always been able to post the hyper link to any web site of our choice. Those that click on them just need to be aware of what they are doing! Photos in the photo album are there until the album owner trashes them. I think that is good and I don't have to be concerned about an email that I missed just to view a photo. (I only visit here once or twice a week). I do think some of those photos that are 10 years old should go away though, but then, that may be all the album owner has ever done is S scale I also learned this past month that all members don't necessarily get the same access either!
