I am sure that there may be another solution, but I think that you cannot
path back outside of your webserver. I'd bet that if you moved the 'uploads'
folder inside the 'website' folder and change the link accordingly, it would
work.
As www.mywebsite.com and the website folder should be the same ... I take it
that having <img src='../../uploads/images/test.gif'> makes no difference?
