Linking to images from static sites

[Bob Kemp]

Hi all,

I've used the pictureRef macro in my template, and rather than getting the 
expected picture I got this error message in its place:

"Macro error: Can't include picture "circlelogo" because the image tag in 
the shortcuts table is not well-formed."

The picture is imported, and the shortcut works as a conventional shortcut. 
I currently have a shortcut to an image called 'circlelogo' and the url:

http://130.159.238.185:8080/DIO/pictures/viewer$75

Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

Cheers,

Bob
