CoolIris now has a 3D function which you can put directly into your website.

Yes, and it will do all your Flickr and some other photo sites.
Here is one of my own that I put the Cooliris on in April.

DARN!
Having trouble viewing it, as when I put my URL in, it re-directs to an advertisement for Cooliris, very very odd????
Very annoying, as it was cool to have it embedded on my own flower site.

(But my Flickr album works with cooliris like it used to.)

Re-directs can be embedded in a page or just stuck into an 'error' page. You'll usually get to a site's error page because the url you or a link, entered is no longer valid. Could be they simply changed the name of the original file, more likely, especially if this is a rather large graphics heavy page, they simply needed to free up some space on their servers. Of course, since that may have been a 'user-generated' page, they may not have been meant to be permanent.

I went to their support page, and sent them the info that they needed to analyse my problem.
I have to supply them with more info, and then they will be able to troubleshoot it.
Just got home from the beach with the dog, so might not be able to get it solved tonight, but sure will get back to you here, when they have the trouble figured out.  Ive got classmates who are using Cooliris for their picture pages too, and want to see what the solution is also.
Seems from the email I got, that this is something that they are seeing from other people too.
Im thinking about the possible not permanent aspect,,,,,,,,you might have hit it on the nose.

I still get the redirect using Safari 4.02
It goes directly to that same advertising Cooliris page.  
Lets see if it works with Firefox on my other(Cooiris enabled), Mac.
No it wont work.  I am using 10.4.11 on that one and using Firefox 3.5
Lets try Opera,,,,,no.
Thank you for testing it for me,
Jane

Your link works fine for me, also.

When was the last time you cleaned/dumped your Internet cache file? You will never get to a site that gives you a problem if it has been stored in your cache in the 'bad,' error-producing way. Your browser will simply keep using the url that's in the cache. One way I avoid this problem if to set my cache storage to zero. Each call for a page requires a new 'send' message. If I get the same results, at least I know it's not from bad info in my cache.

Believe it or not, Ive never cleaned the cache files on either of these Macs.
And if I get a page that is old, I just reload it.
I didnt know that we had to do this?

But the Cooliris help email did indicate that I wasn't the only one with seeing a few oddities like this.
It takes them about 2 days to analyse what I send them, but hopefully soon we will find out what is going on.
As my Flickr site is fine.

Just checked my blogs, and they all work with Cooliris fine.

Solved,

Here is their email back to me after I supplied them with all the inflo they asked for,,,,,,,,

"Hi Jane!

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Thanks to the information you provided, we have been made aware of this issue with sites enabled with Quick and Simple and our developers are working as we speak to address it.

If you go to http://www.cooliris.com/site/support/downl...ll-products.php and find a previous version by clicking 'Release Notes' for your browser and OS and download that version, do things go back to normal?

Please, in the mean time, stay tuned for the upcoming build coming out very soon and get back to us with any feedback you may have! All of us here at Cooliris are so grateful for your use of Cooliris.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Thank you so much.

Kindest Regards,
Preston & the Cooliris Team"
