Good for you. I'm still getting "access denied."

Try using Imgur or Flickr to host your images.
Might also be the fact that the image is pretty large

Your image seems to be within this forum's 800x600 dimension limits. If your jpg is a large file, try using a different compression setting to reduce the file size. I usually use 3 (out of 10), no perceptible loss of image quality.

On posting a ___y place name, try to avoid it. The number of ___y place names overwhelms the number of Y____ names that can be played in response, so playing a ____y can grind this game to a halt because other players have already used up all their Y____s. My two most recent ___y posts take advantage of the "Y rule" (similar rules for some other letters), allowing the next play to be made from some other name on the sign, such as Five Islands rather than Economy (had there been no such out, I wouldn't have bothered to photograph the sign in the first place). But the Y rule doesn't help if you post a sign with only one place name ending in ___y.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the game rules, all in the first post on the first page of this thread.

Notre Dame du Nord to Davis

(I had this queued to play an "E" for obvious reasons but played another "E" upthread because I was trolling for I-99 haters.)

Lots of choices here. As you might guess, I have lots more S___ photos in queue, most of them with names beginning with "Saint(e)".

Davis => Scott (QC), or Saint-Bernard, or Saint-Henri, or S(ain)te-Hénédine:
