06.I am able to login and access my album, but I cannot see some of my photos, instead there is cross (image not found) mark in its place. What should I do?
This happens because the internet connection cannot read image data fast enough to download them onto your computer. You can easily view these images by just clicking on the blank area where the image should be. This action will open the image on a different page andyou should be able to see it.
Another thing you can do is to right click over the image and select "show picture" in the drop down menu box. Alternatively you can hit refresh button above in the tool bar to refresh the page and allow more images to load than previously.

07.I want to send my photos to my family & friends, and I want to select only a few, but I cannot see some of my photos, instead there is cross (image not found) mark in its place. What should I do?
This happens because the internet connection cannot read image data fast enough to download them onto your computer. Try to view your images by login and accessing your album first, after you are able to see all your images, go back to "send to family & friends". You should be able to easily view these images now (as your computer will read the previously downloaded data faster) and make your selection and send them to your family & friends.
