I was going to send a couple photos of my layout to CTT and it can’t seem to be found. Is the reason that everything changed here.
Photo’s on this site are just links to pictures posted on other photo hosting sites, usually. If you posted a picture within a post some time ago, and the link is broken (red X), then the host site has either moved or deleted it. Just go back to the site where you posted it and try to locate it. Regardless, a linked photo is usually a lower quality picture that wouldn’t be high enough quality to post in a magazine. They would need the original file either emailed to them, or sent in on a CD, etc. That’s what the magazine says, anyhow.
