Unlike the fic archives at Sycophant Hex, Illusions uses a variable display system to show images. Often the address that you see at the top of your browser is not the real address of the image you want other people to see. By finding the permanant link to each image in the archive, you can be sure that the image you're promoting will be identical for everyone.

01. Underneath the thumbnail and short image description of the picture you wish to link, there is a table called 'File information'.
03. Find the URL field. The address listed here is the unchanging location of this particular image, and will not change unless the image is deleted. It
will look something like http://shillusions.com/displayimage.php?pos=-916
I highly recommend that you use this link only.

If you link to an address other than that specifically listed in the url field, it will lead to different pages as images are added or removed.
For 100% accuracy, follow the above steps.
