Here's my analysis...
the URL that you gave me WORKED in a new browser window when I got it... now, ~10 minutes later, the link DOESN'T work.

The link is not an ABSOLUTE link, but rather one programmatically calculated by Yahoo...with a time-stamp in it that expires shortly after generation. You see how your posted link contains different characters than my posted link...aha! ...time stamp.

The fact that even when it was hot, it did not serve up a picture in my test, shows that it is NOT a static link, but rather one that is done by a program, as a temporary link.
